Scrapbook tutorial with Claire using the August Main kit

 Claire Hawkins: August 2023 Main Kit

Love You

Hello everyone,

Today I’m sharing a multi-photo layout with you, using the August 2023 Main Kit which features Simple Stories The Little Things collection.

I wanted to create a large panel of patterned paper, so opted for this peach checkered paper as it gives a nice soft pattern to use as the base of my design. I added it to white cardstock and stitched around the edges.

I was drawn to the circular elements of the kit – included in the both chipboard stickers and cardstock ephemera packs.

I cut circular photos to match, sized between 1” -2.5” to reflect the ephemera pieces, and layered them all along the bottom of the paper to create one large cluster.

For dimension, some are stuck flat, and some are raised on foam.

Once they were in place, I began to embellish, adding cardstock ephemera and stickers to fill any gaps, making it appear the photos are growing out from the florals.

To bring all the colours together, I chose a few phrase stickers which nestle under the photographs. These are stuck flat to the page.

Once all elements were adhered, the page looked a little heavy at the bottom, so I created a small cluster at the top of the page, using stickers and ephemera from the kit.

As a finishing touch, I added a few Nuvo Drops in a bright purple to match the colours in the kit, and that was the page finished.


Happy scrapping!

See you next month!
