Family Scrapbook Layout Using Punches

Hey crafty friends!  I’m back today sharing another layout that I created for the Southern Girls Challenge.  I am on Team Lou, and made a boo boo and created a layout for Team Trace…oopppsss.  There are worse mistakes though right…at least it’s another memory documented.  The challenge this go round is to create a project using punches.  I created this family scrapbook layout using punches I had been neglecting for some time.

When I saw a sketch over at the Hip Kit Club I knew it was perfect for this challenge. I could use my circle punches to create the pattern, and then when I got punching my design took a total left turn.  You can still see the sketch in my layout, but it wasn’t what I planned at the beginning.

Another thing that makes this layout different for me is I used yellow cardstock as my base.  I don’t normally use anything beyond white, black and occasionally navy, but when I started laying my circles down it just needed something more.  I tried many of the colors in the patterned pages I used, but the yellow made the circles pop the most.

So without further ado….here the layout is: Family Scrapbook Layout Using Punches

1st Fluff | Hip Kit Club | Felicity Jane

     Hey crafty friends!  How is your November going so far?  I have gotten a few things done so far including this layout of our daughter.

     My husband came home from hunting early allowing to go to a non-profit cafe that is only open during the week.  Cafe Vida has really tasty breakfast and lunch.  Since we didn’t think Julia would eat what we each were having we purchased here a peanut butter and fluff sandwich.  To say it was a hit is an understatement!

     I don’t usually get to scrap photos the day they happened, but when I saw the weekly sketch over at the Hip Kit Club Forum I knew I needed to get right to work. 
      I used the Felicity Jane Willow kit because the colors were soft enough for a little girl, but still enough for her animal shirt.  I also loved the opportunity to use the girl die-cut as I don’t often has pictures of just her or I.  
     Can we also talk about how perfect the #allthefood stamp was for this layout!  The stamp was from the June Summer kit.  As I’ve mentioned before I haven’t been big into stamping on my layouts, but these sets have just the right sentiments and are just the right size.  I can usually find just the right one for my page.
   Okay – off to create more.  Until next time…stay crafty!

Autumn | Challenge Yourself | Hip Kit Club

     Afternoon crafty friends!  I’m sharing a layout today that was inspired by two different challenges.  I wanted to use the mood board at Challenge Yourself and the weekly sketch on the Hip Kit Club Facebook forum.
     Both of these challenges were perfect to get some of the photos from our recent apple picking trip done.  I took these selfies with each of my kiddos because getting them both to sit still for one together is almost impossible

     The products on this page came from an old My Creative Scrapbook kit…Fall 2015 to be exact 🙁  The papers included in the clip were from Echo Park’s The Story Of Fall and the chipboard was from Carta Bella’s A Perfect Autumn.  
     I really like the dimensional interest using some flat stickers and some chipboard gives the page. I used a white pen for my journalling since my favorite black sharpie didn’t really show up.  Do you have a favorite white pen as I’m not sold on the one I have?
    Okay – enough chatting for today…back to creating.  Stay crafty!!
