Cool By The Pool

Hello friends! Today I wanted to share another layout that I created for My Creative Scrapbook with the fabulous June Creative Kit.

For this layout,  I was inspired by a layout created by Paige Evans using lots and lots of paper strips. It's a great way to use up paper scraps from the kit. 

To give the layout more interest, I machine stitched the paper strips down instead of gluing them.  I also machine stitched around the beach ball die cut to give it more definition.

I added two 2X3 photos and added some fussy cut flowers, clustered some of the ephemera from the kit and yellow ribbon that I tied in bows.  

The sequins from the kit gives the layout more sparkle and interest.

Finally I added the location and date with a fine line black pen on one of the paper strips.

The paper strips look like sun rays don't you think?

Check out all the kits, including the June Creative Kit at My Creative Scrapbook.

Thanks for stopping by and have a nice day.

The June Kits Full Reveal At My Creative Scrapbook

Hello friends! It's that special day today where the June kits are all revealed at My Creative Scrapbook. As I look through the design team gallery, I am fascinated by all the eye candy. I think it is amazing how many designers are given the same kit to work their magic and they are all so different from each other. I love all the styles that each of the designers have. Here are the four kits for June:

My Creative Scrapbook June 2017 LE Kit

My Creative Scrapbook June 2017 Album Kit

Aren't they fabulous? I worked with the June Creative Kit which consists of mostly the Pebbles Sunshiny Days Collection of patterned papers, cardstock stickers, ephemera, and chipboard stickers. I am in love with the bright colors that scream tropical paradise. The flamingos and pineapples have my heart.

Here is one of the layouts I created. To make the colors pop, I thought that adding a black card stock background would work. This is a layout of my youngest son and husband having a jumping contest on the beach in Punta Cana, Dominican Republic.

For this layout, I used the word cut files, that are included with the purchase of the kit, to cut out the title on my Silhouette Cameo. To give it more of a playful, fun look, I opted to scrap it on a diagonal slant.

With many of my layouts, I like to add some stitching and this layout is no exception. For this layout, I added some machine stitching to adhere the title. Pink can work for masculine layouts in this case because of the other coordinating colors such as the aqua and yellow. It has the tropical feel to it with the flowers, pineapples and flamingos.

Sequins were included in this kit and I loved the sparkle they add to the layout. There are a generous amount of diecuts and stickers in the kit.
