Hi, My Creative Scrapbook fans! Design Team member Marcia Dehn-Nix is treating us to a fabulous process video today using our February Main kit!
Hello My Creative Scrapbook friends! It's Monique here with you today! I'm sharing a step-by-step of my "Together We Are Better" layout which I created with the February Creative Kit. I was so happy when I first saw this kit! I'm a huge fan of everything from Simple Stories and the Apron Strings collection is definitely one of my favorites!
This is the layout for which I created the step-by-step:
I assembled everything I thought I would need. Don't you just love the sight of this?!
Next I cut squares in three different sizes from random pieces of paper. The smallest square is 1.5" and the largest is 2":
I adhered these squares on the left side of a white sheet of cardstock. When you do this make sure to use only the tiniest bit of glue for the top square as you want to fold this one later-on:
Using my sewing machine I sew diagonally over the squares. Sometimes from left to right, sometime the other way around:
Using a bone folder fold over the top square:
I alread love this result! It's just because the papers are so pretty!
Next I matted my photo and placed this in the top right corner, partially over some of the squares;
The February Creative Kit contains two 12" x 12" sheets with stickers and I used some of these for my layout:
Next I added some more machine stitching and I wrote a few lines of journaling and I was done!
Here are a few more detail photos of my layout:

It’s time to unveil February 2021's fabulous Sketch. Everyone is welcome to play along.
Hello fellow crafters,
Today I would like to talk about my fourth layout with this gorgeous Simple Stories collection called ‘Hello Today’. I used the exclusive rainbow cut file which spoke to me as I knew I wanted to scrap a photo of my son in Aruba.
The middle part is a nice dark green which needed some extra oomph. So I used a bubble stencil with white modelling paste to the left and right side of this paper. Following this, I adhered the backed cutfile rainbow right in the middle and popped it up.
Then, I started ‘decorating’, one of my favorite parts of creating. I added chipboard pieces and various ephemera in the right and left corners of the page. But I felt something was missing around this rainbow, so I adhered two smaller clusters of embellishments around it.
Hello My Creative Scrapbook fans! It's Monique here today sharing a step-by-step of one of the layouts I created with the January Main Kit. I was so happy when I saw this kit, with all it's bright and happy colors of the "Go The Scenic Route" collection from Paige Evans! I'm a huge fan of Paige's collections and so I couldn't wait to dig in!
Here's the layout for which I created the step-by-step:
