Jinny with a Plan with the Album/Planner Kit

 Welcome back, My Creative Scrapbook friends!  It’s Jinny here today to share a new project inspired by the August Creative Kit.  This month’s kit boasts a timely collection of chipboard and cardstock stickers, as well as papers and ephemera, all from Echo Park’s Plan On It Collection.  A coordinating, everyday, Simple Stories’ For the Record stamp set completes the kit beautifully.  I’ve used it all for today’s showcase, against a scrumptious, mixed-media background.  Let’s dive right in!  Shall we?I started this page by smudging Jack Frost Glimmer Mist, across the right side of my printed background, with a wrinkled piece of plastic wrap.  That is my favorite way to apply spray color!  Tip: You can soften bold colors by adding a little spritzed water to the mist on your plastic wrap and brighten dull colors with additional layers of scrunchy puddles.  Once that was dry, I stamped one of the floral images from this month’s kit stamp set, in Night of Navy Stampin’ Up ink, strategically, around my photo cluster.  I then splattered everything with Pure Black and Titanium White acrylic paints.  That set the stage for a trio of prints, which were all anchored with navy-threaded, straight, machine stitching and frame my photo.  The photo itself was matted with white cardstock; backed with a snippet of cheesecloth for texture; and wrapped with a length of white string, tied in a bow, but not before being laced with a “TODAY” title die cut, which I punched to enable the lacing.  A chipboard binder clip secures everything just as described.

A pairing of hand-cut “next week, this week” folders, as well as a couple of additional die-cut phrases crown the design…

while another die-cut phrase; the stamped, in Night of Navy ink, on white cardstock and hand-cut date label; and a little hand-written journaling ground it.

From left to right, an entire week of cardstock sticker labels flank the photo stack.

A couple of cardstock sticker blossoms round out its bottom right corner…

and turn our attention to the printed, bottom, left corner.

A trio of chipboard and cardstock stickers were added to the scene to complete the look.

Here are a few more of the projects that I created using the August Creative Kit.  I’d love for y’all to stop by my instagram @loftydesignsbyjinny for a closer look!

Thanks so much for visiting today!  As always, I cannot wait to see what y’all cook up this month!  Be sure to stop by the blog, as well as the Design Team Gallery, for more fabulous inspiration, inspired by every last one of the August kits.  Until next month, happy scrapping!
