Hello again, I would like to talk about a layout I created with the May Creative Kit for this post. When going through the papers of this collection, this paper with its diagonal flower patterns instantly spoke to me, and I decided to fussy cut a pile of flowers in light pink and blue and some green leaves, which I mainly adhered with pop dots to create dimension.
I knew that I wanted to use this month’s sketch while placing one photo right in the center of the page; as May is the month of Mother’s Day, I took a black-and-white one of my mom. Following this, I cut out a large green window from one of the papers and a green journaling card, both of which sandwich the photo in the middle.
Then came the fun part: To achieve a coherent and eye-pleasing ‘line’ in the middle, I stuck down a sticker from the sheet and a chipboard piece to the left and right of the photo cluster. I embellished around the photo, which I had mounted on a pink paper and vellum for interest. On top of the picture came another rectangular sticker in black which is the title.
Finally, I added some chipboards, a few flag stickers, and punch-outs and threaded some ribbon underneath the photo for a feminine touch. I tucked in a few stickers/chipboards between the diagonal flower clusters for a finishing touch. Some handwritten journaling with my favorite black pen and black sparklers from my stash round off the layout. I hope you got some inspiration from this design.
Hello My Creative Scrapbook friends! It's Monique here today sharing a step-by-step for my "Be You" layout. This month Pam sent me the May Creative kit and when I saw it I fell in love straight away! The Flower Garden collection from Carta Bella is so very beautiful, with it's soft colors and wonderful designs!
I already knew which photo I wanted to scrap and I thought this collection was just what I was hoping for. In the photo you see my one-of-a-kind daughter, who is always up for silly and funny actions. Here she decided to act like she was cycling on the bike drawn on the tarmac (this indicates that this strip of road is a cycling path, of which there are many in the Netherlands!).
As the photo was taken in April this Carta Bella spring collection was perfect! Here's what I created:
I started my page by displaying the items in the May Creative Kit (so beautiful!):
As I had already decided on a circular design with lots of flowers, I collected all the flower and leave punches I own:
