I officially "killed" my June Scrapbook Kit with this layout and I even used the packaging that the cork Thickers came in!  A grid design with small 2"x 2" photos and small photo mats or layers is a great way to use up all the little bits that you might otherwise consider throwing away or hoarding.
I cut up the Thickers packaging into 2.5"x 2.5" squares to use as my bottom layers....



A few splats of bronze Colour Shine and machine stitching always helps ;-)

I'm back with another layout using the June "Globe-Trotter" Kit and this time it's a 8.5"x11" page with a single 6x4 photo.  I don't often use large photos but when you don't have much paper left in your kit, a large photo can take up a good amount of space ;-)



A bit of Heidi Swapp Colour Shine is always a good idea!


I cut up some of my patterned paper scraps to make these tags.....

I'm back with another layout using the June "Globe-Trotter" Kit and this time it's a 8.5"x11" page using a page design that I use often.  I find it really helpful to have "go-to" sketches or designs so I can just get on with it and make a page!

I try not to keep too much of the copious amounts of artwork that come home from school but I do make sure I take a photo of everything and either include it in my Project Life album or on a regular layout.








This travel-themed kit can be used for any kind of journey documentation, including a child's journey at school!

I'm back with another layout using the June "Globe-Trotter" Kit and I have used two small square photos on my 8.5" x 11" page.  I usually like to have my photos close to each other on my pages, but this time I decided to separate them and pop my title in between.  Instead of using my usual white cardstock background I decided to use yellow to match the patterned paper.




I die-cut my tag from patterned paper but you could easily do this with a paper trimmer.






A sprinkling of white Heidi Swapp Spray Ink really popped against the yellow background.



These die-cuts might be travel-themed but you can use them for so many other stories too.

I'm back with another layout using the June "Globe-Trotter" Kit and this time I tried two things that I don't do all that often- I used patterned paper for my background and to that I added texture paste mixed with gold paint through a star stencil.




I used two of the little kraft envelopes from the kit as layers.



I used the gold star transparency to continue my star theme.






I layered a transparent diecut over the "My View" one for a fun look.

I love the little acetate die-cuts that come in the kit- easy to adhere with either stitching or staples.






I added some gold Heidi Swap Colour Shine instead my usual black ink splats.



I created my title from the Crate Paper Cork Phrases and Arrows that came in the kit.  I love this font!

Hello again Canaries!  Today I'm sharing another layout using the May "Sweet Treat" Scrapbook Kit. It's a 8.5"x11" page and features two 3x4 photos.  I made two tags from patterned paper to form a sort-of grid design.

If you are from Western Australia you might recognise this famous ex-footballer in the top photo ;-)



As is my usual "thang", I made a few little embellishment clusters and although the chipboard sticker pack has a birthday party vibe, they are very adaptable to use on all sorts of layouts.



I die-cut some paper scraps to make these arrow-shaped pieces.  I also used some of the puffy star stickers I had leftover from a previous kit.



The gold foil on these chippy stickers is gorgeous and the geometrical shapes ensure they work well on boy layouts too.

Hello Canaries!  I'm back with another layout share using the May Scrapbook Kit.  It's back to my usual 8.5x11 format and I have a small photo grid about 4x4" in size.  



I cut the camera out from one of the patterned papers and layered a glittered gold heart on top and I also cut the "Lovely Day" from the strip on one of the other papers.



I used a Tim Holtz die to make this rosette from the mint spotted paper and layered one of the gold chipboard pieces on top for my title.



These Dear Lizzy bobby pins in the kit are so adorable!

Hello Canaries!  Today I'm sharing a layout using the May "Sweet Treat" Scrapbook Kit.  It's an 8.5"x11" layout oriented horizontally.  I took one of the patterned papers and cut apart the square that said "Life is..." and then added one of the chipboard pieces to create my title.



I used the gold glitter chipboard hearts and foam glitter hearts around my page, as well as some of the puffy stickers I had leftover from last month's kit.









I added a manila tag, a label and some twine from my stash and machine stitched for some added texture.
