Tutorial with Claire!

Hello everyone,
Today I’m sharing a fresh spring layout with you using the March 2024 Main Kits, and I’m so ready for these beautiful pastel colours and brighter tones that signal the end of winter!
This month, I’ve opted for a half and half design that allows me to showcase that fun polka dot paper – I fell in love with it as soon as I saw it!
 

I cut a 5” strip and positioned it to the left of my page, layering a small piece (just over half an inch) of the teal script paper underneath to create a border between the two sections of the page.
Using two photos, I double mounted them with patterned paper from the kit and raised them on foam for dimension.
 

To help frame the photos, I created three small floral clusters.  There are so many embellishment choices in this months kit and I had a lot of fun choosing which pieces to use, mixing between the ephemera pack, foam stickers, cardstock stickers and florals from the Page Pieces pack.
 
By mixing the materials, I’ve been able to add extra interest, texture, tones and depth to each cluster which draws your eye into the photographs.

 
For extra height, I added two tags, fussy cut from the tag paper, picking out the pink and teal tomes to match the patterned paper and the pink in my photos.
 

For my title, I used an ephemera piece from the Page Pieces pack and complemented this with a smaller chipboard subtitle.




As a finishing touch, I added two beautiful butterflies – one from the ephemera pack and one fussy cut from patterned paper, and a dragon fly, again from the ephemera pack. I love the extra movement this gives to the layout and really adds that ‘spring is in the air’ vibe to the layout.


 
I hope you like how this one turned out.

I’ll see you next month with another layout. Until then – happy scrapping!

Family with Maree!

 Today we have designer Maree up to share with you what she has created with March Main Kit!


Hi Friends,

I'm excited to share this layout with you today. I am using the March Main kit and focusing on the Page Pieces from Simple Stories included in the kit which made this page come together very quickly!

I just love the colors in the kit this month. Teal and pinks are my favorite colors to work with. And the pretty florals too!

I started by selecting the teal dotted paper for my background and adding it to white card stock to make my base. I machine stitched around the border. Next I decided to add some hand stitching to the big title to add more color and dimension to my page. I selected matching embroidery thread for each letter and chain stitched the center of each letter. I love how it turned out.

Then I added the white plaid as my grounding layer before adding my picture and the 'good things ahead' cut apart. Then I added the floral ephemera in the corners and some fussy cut butterflies. I added a few crystals from my stash in the center of each floral. I love the little sparkle they give.

I added a tag and more ephemera in the top right corner - I always seem to like 3 clusters on my pages.  I finished the page with a little white ink splatter and of course my typed journalling. I really enjoyed creating with the March Main kit and would love to see what you make this month if you want to tag me on Instagram @kiwigirlscraps.

Have an amazing day.

Happy Moments by Ali using the March Creative kit from MyCreativeScrapbook.com

Happy Spring!  It is Ali, @funadventureswithali sharing a fun mixed media layout for the My Creative Scrapbook design team.  I loved working with the March creative kit because of all the fun spring colors.


The cut file that is included in the kit makes me happy alone!  I decided to use this sheet with the rainbow of colors to scrap my boba tea adventure.  It was a perfect match with the colors of the unicorn and mural in their shop.  I gutted the main sheet so I could use the inside of the sheet to back my cut file.  I used the rest of the sheet to mat my layout.  
I wanted the colors to run off my page, so I used my mixed media stamping skills to continue the color on top of my page.  I lined up my colors with the paper and cut file, so it looked like the colors were just dripping down the page.  I absolutely adore how it turned out.

I matted my background with a thin black cardstock border before laying it back on the original sheet of paper.  I then used foam tape to pop the series of pictures we took at the shop.  
I hope this layout brings you spring joy as much as it does for me.  

Love, Ali
