<a name='more'></a>Hello everyone! Today I am sharing a project made with the brand new Home Sweet Home collection. With Mother's Day quickly approaching I can't think of a more perfect collection to create all those special cards and projects for Mom. It is full of feminine colors and details that remind me of how most moms try to make their homes into Home Sweet Home :)<br />

I love the 4x4 card from the Daily Details paper that says "collect moments, not things", and thought it was perfect to pair with this photo of my son kissing my hand. He always use to do this while we sat together on the couch :)</div>

I like to pop up my photos with dimensional tape, and tuck my accents and embellishments underneath so that my photo really stands out. I usually pop up a few of the embellishments too, and include puffy/enamel embellishments wherever I can.</div>

Stitching and staples are always a must on my projects. I really enjoy mixing up my fonts for titles as well...especially with the acrylic words. I added the 'blessed' part of my title across my stitched border to tie the whole page together.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Hello everyone! Did you know that April 8 is National Zoo Lover's Day? Although, today I am celebrating with an aquarium layout because I couldn't resist digging in to the new Splash Zone collection....also up over at the <a href="https://bellablvd.typepad.com/bella_blvd/2019/04/national-zoo-lovers-day-with-kelly.html%20Ed">Bella Blvd Studio Blog</a>. Most zoos have an aquarium, so I figure...it works :)<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong>Ripley's Aquarium</strong> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a class="asset-img-link" href="https://bellablvd.typepad.com/.a/6a00e553a7b4ae88340240a49e0293200b-popup" onclick="window.open( this.href, '_blank', 'width=640,height=480,scrollbars=no,resizable=no,toolbar=no,directories=no,location=no,menubar=no,status=no,left=0,top=0' ); return false" style="display: inline;"><img alt="Kelly_Ripley's Aquarium2_April8" class="asset asset-image at-xid-6a00e553a7b4ae88340240a49e0293200b img-responsive" height="400" src="https://bellablvd.typepad.com/.a/6a00e553a7b4ae88340240a49e0293200b-650wi" title="Kelly_Ripley's Aquarium2_April8" width="310" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I started by picking out the Swim Like a Fish and Splashing Around papers...and gathering all of the fishy/water and neutral type embellishments. As I was gathering...I kind of like how I piled everything, and that is the arrangement that you see here. I added a little dimensional tape to make things pop.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a class="asset-img-link" href="https://bellablvd.typepad.com/.a/6a00e553a7b4ae88340240a479692c200d-popup" onclick="window.open( this.href, '_blank', 'width=640,height=480,scrollbars=no,resizable=no,toolbar=no,directories=no,location=no,menubar=no,status=no,left=0,top=0' ); return false" style="display: inline;"><img alt="Kelly_RAsneak2_April8" class="asset asset-image at-xid-6a00e553a7b4ae88340240a479692c200d img-responsive" height="212" src="https://bellablvd.typepad.com/.a/6a00e553a7b4ae88340240a479692c200d-650wi" title="Kelly_RAsneak2_April8" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I never feel like a project is complete without a little stitching and a few staples. I also topped off my embellishment cluster with a couple enamel dots from the Sentiments Mini Heart Hugs. I just love the Florence Alphabet Stickers, they were the perfect size for my title...I used two different colors, Gulf and Orange, for interest.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
<a class="asset-img-link" href="https://bellablvd.typepad.com/.a/6a00e553a7b4ae88340240a4796930200d-popup" onclick="window.open( this.href, '_blank', 'width=640,height=480,scrollbars=no,resizable=no,toolbar=no,directories=no,location=no,menubar=no,status=no,left=0,top=0' ); return false" style="display: inline;"><img alt="Kelly_RAsneak2_April8" class="asset asset-image at-xid-6a00e553a7b4ae88340240a4796930200d img-responsive" height="212" src="https://bellablvd.typepad.com/.a/6a00e553a7b4ae88340240a4796930200d-650wi" title="Kelly_RAsneak2_April8" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This was a layout that I didn't have to think about too much, once I started pulling out embellishments, it kind of designed itself....I love it when that happens. It's easy to do when the products are so cute :)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Hello everyone! I have this layout up over at the <a href="permalink: https://bellablvd.typepad.com/bella_blvd/2019/02/plaids-dotty-circles-with-kelly.html">Bella Blvd Studio Blog</a> today:</div>

I feel like I am drawing all of my inspiration from Pinterest lately! But, I came across this image, and thought it would make a pretty great background:</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I paired up some of my favorite colors from the Plaids & Dotty. Using a circle cutter, I cut out 3 different sized circles: 1.5 in., 2.5 in., and 3.5 in. I cut the circles in half, matched them up, and sewed them together using a zigzag stitch.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Using white cardstock as my background, I adhered the circles in an interesting pattern...and layered on some puffy stars, embellishments from the Oh My Stars collection with my photo, and an acrylic word title to finish the look.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Well...hello there! It has been a minute since I have published any of my papercrafting projects to the blog world. I am making an attempt to remedy that...and today you can see one of my projects over on the <a href="https://bellablvd.typepad.com/">Bella Blvd Studio Blog</a>! This layout shows off the Wish Big Boy collection...and was inspired by an image found on Pinterest.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-XZvmC7Y6Y3M/XDqfKcIHGqI/AAAAAAAAsiA/6kOCIA25cpszzPcKx7k5ma-4fPhPzzYlACLcBGAs/s1600/Kelly_WishBig_JAN14.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1418" data-original-width="1600" height="283" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-XZvmC7Y6Y3M/XDqfKcIHGqI/AAAAAAAAsiA/6kOCIA25cpszzPcKx7k5ma-4fPhPzzYlACLcBGAs/s320/Kelly_WishBig_JAN14.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
While browsing the wonderful world of Pinterest, I came across this flat lay image:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-X9Mp0h8edjs/XDqgeoKaFlI/AAAAAAAAsiM/uSTw4JRb7ZE3atsf61Eh__BlhCdfXnOyQCLcBGAs/s1600/Pinterest%2BInspired.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="841" data-original-width="564" height="320" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-X9Mp0h8edjs/XDqgeoKaFlI/AAAAAAAAsiM/uSTw4JRb7ZE3atsf61Eh__BlhCdfXnOyQCLcBGAs/s320/Pinterest%2BInspired.jpg" width="214" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I loved the arrangement so much, I decided to use it kind of like a sketch. The flag placement seemed like a great place to use one of Bella's adorable pennants..and I used a variety of patterned paper and tags to mimic the rest of the elements on the page.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I stayed pretty true to the 'sketch', but added a header and footer + title and a few random embellishments.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Hi all! It has been awhile since I have posted a project, and I actually had time to create just for fun last weekend. I decided to use up some of my many Bella Blvd supplies and came up with this layout documenting one of my son, Owen's 12 year pics.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-OO4uk6wyG8g/WeQElJCqMzI/AAAAAAAAdNY/7vuxLOXymyAbudQqPpvP4vkUpmBID3YngCLcBGAs/s1600/Just%2BLike%2BU%2B2.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1256" height="400" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-OO4uk6wyG8g/WeQElJCqMzI/AAAAAAAAdNY/7vuxLOXymyAbudQqPpvP4vkUpmBID3YngCLcBGAs/s400/Just%2BLike%2BU%2B2.png" width="313" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I started out using the Max collection, and then gradually added in a few others such as Thankful and Hello Autumn. I also added in some flags, enamel dots and hearts, and Homespun Alphas.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-4Nx1jTs9CUI/WeQEyDc84gI/AAAAAAAAdNc/D2E78a5XcEk1YgzSB2q5kS9Lg6DQcCTVwCLcBGAs/s1600/Just%2BLike%2BU%2B3.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1174" data-original-width="1600" height="234" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-4Nx1jTs9CUI/WeQEyDc84gI/AAAAAAAAdNc/D2E78a5XcEk1YgzSB2q5kS9Lg6DQcCTVwCLcBGAs/s320/Just%2BLike%2BU%2B3.png" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I love layers, so I just kind of piled everything up at the bottom. The little guitars are perfect, and the background colors pop so much with the use of the fall collections. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-28PiWYO1CfU/WeQE97lmOpI/AAAAAAAAdNg/UiOGo1J5OZ8N1hn0xsETwFeEzhnC5jWygCLcBGAs/s1600/Just%2BLike%2BU%2B4.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1174" data-original-width="1600" height="234" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-28PiWYO1CfU/WeQE97lmOpI/AAAAAAAAdNg/UiOGo1J5OZ8N1hn0xsETwFeEzhnC5jWygCLcBGAs/s320/Just%2BLike%2BU%2B4.png" width="320" /></a></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
For my final October project, I used the main Weekender kit...along with both of the Add-Ons. This page was up over on the <a href="https://www.scrapbookcircle.com/2016/10/dt-choice-with-kelly">Scrapbook Circle blog</a> on October 16th...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b><i><span style="font-size: large;">Weekends</span></i></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-6D3p_3sl-rg/WCaP9Rytq8I/AAAAAAAAXuM/ymhTC7KXzvUL09WPHB1xdR54xsdnk3aegCLcB/s1600/Weekends%2B1.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-6D3p_3sl-rg/WCaP9Rytq8I/AAAAAAAAXuM/ymhTC7KXzvUL09WPHB1xdR54xsdnk3aegCLcB/s400/Weekends%2B1.png" width="317" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My page was inspired by the word 'weekends' in the Paige Evans Gold Thickers sheet, found in the #Goals Add-On. I loved how the colors in the photo seemed to match perfectly with the October kit palate. There were even a few purple embellishments to compliment my daughter's shirt...also, what is a more perfect weekend activity that cuddling?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-QA4TfJ-GnlY/WCaQQ6Sc2WI/AAAAAAAAXuQ/zR8ueR3wmHwgFXbU72cfEKyV4j29RH_bQCLcB/s1600/Weekends%2B-%2Bdetail%2B1.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="234" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-QA4TfJ-GnlY/WCaQQ6Sc2WI/AAAAAAAAXuQ/zR8ueR3wmHwgFXbU72cfEKyV4j29RH_bQCLcB/s320/Weekends%2B-%2Bdetail%2B1.png" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The Oakley Avenue cut apart circle and the button are also from the #Goals Add-On, and were a perfect compliment for the pocket journaling card which is found in the Out & About Add-On. The XOXO was my favorite of the Pretty Little Studio Cards found in the main kit, and I had lots of fun making a little cluster with it, the pocket card, and my photo.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Okay...on to <a href="https://www.scrapbookcircle.com/2016/10/october-printables">Scrapbook Circle</a> October project number two. This is a page created with the October Printables...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b><i><span style="font-size: large;">5 Cute Kids</span></i></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I always love the printables, because they are so much fun to layer. This time, I layered 3 of the 3x4 journaling cards, and used them to help mat my photo. I feel like this helps the photo pop out from the busy background. I also included the longer memo paper card with these layers to help ground the top half of my page.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-w097ik0WBTg/WCaJGGt3eQI/AAAAAAAAXt4/kL5CU5972U0vfbVZMf5YjcAzLupLVWPbgCLcB/s1600/5%2Bkids%2B%2B-%2Bdetail%2B2.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="234" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-w097ik0WBTg/WCaJGGt3eQI/AAAAAAAAXt4/kL5CU5972U0vfbVZMf5YjcAzLupLVWPbgCLcB/s320/5%2Bkids%2B%2B-%2Bdetail%2B2.png" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I overlapped the two 8 inch strips along the bottom/right of the page, and cut off the excess. This part was perfect for grounding the title.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-fgdCOrEEEgQ/WCaJSiB1H8I/AAAAAAAAXt8/LU1vC5KKjS0CR2u-OwAmdPg5yn69UPnbgCLcB/s1600/blog%2Bheader%2B-%2Bblank.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="234" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-fgdCOrEEEgQ/WCaJSiB1H8I/AAAAAAAAXt8/LU1vC5KKjS0CR2u-OwAmdPg5yn69UPnbgCLcB/s320/blog%2Bheader%2B-%2Bblank.png" width="320" /></a></div>

My journaling and a few embellishments finish the look. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I chose to use the cards as a background. I grouped them together, cutting off half of the 2 cards on the right to leave a border from my patterned paper. I loved the contrast of the white and gold on black, and accented with maroon and teal to make the photo pop.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This is my final September project for the <a href="https://www.scrapbookcircle.com/2016/09/tech-tip-with-kelly-3">Scrapbook Circle blog</a> using the Shine Bright kit...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<b><i><span style="font-size: large;">Lake Fun</span></i></b></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
For this page, I was inspired by the geometric patterned paper. When trimming the paper, I followed the lines in the pattern...and used it for a split design background. I used the top half of the page for my photo and journaling, and the bottom for the title.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-gPY1kQi5zzg/WCaCPRksO3I/AAAAAAAAXtc/NQPPGs5xdRcSD_tKlP6jGuXikNj_M93AwCLcB/s1600/Lake%2BFun%2B-%2Bdetail%2B1.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="234" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-gPY1kQi5zzg/WCaCPRksO3I/AAAAAAAAXtc/NQPPGs5xdRcSD_tKlP6jGuXikNj_M93AwCLcB/s320/Lake%2BFun%2B-%2Bdetail%2B1.png" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
For the watercolor resist card, I used ink pads and face sponges...and started coloring from the inside out. It, along with my photo make up the focal point of the page.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Hello again! It's time for another episode of blog catch-up. I had a project up over at the <a href="https://www.scrapbookcircle.com/2016/09/september-challenge-sketch-2">Scrapbook Circle blog</a> on September 26th for their sketch challenge. Here is the sketch...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-2tZhEnZhvCA/WCZ_DknWZtI/AAAAAAAAXtE/tL87ppy-SH45gzSd3CZQRd786wmpM-VcACLcB/s1600/september-sketch-final-550x550.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-2tZhEnZhvCA/WCZ_DknWZtI/AAAAAAAAXtE/tL87ppy-SH45gzSd3CZQRd786wmpM-VcACLcB/s320/september-sketch-final-550x550.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here is my take on it...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><i><span style="font-size: large;">Today</span></i></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-KIAuMemARSw/WCZ_M2Fp-lI/AAAAAAAAXtI/tU646ggxX_cKbZvKalUILGsqinPZXKbPwCLcB/s1600/Today%2B1.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-KIAuMemARSw/WCZ_M2Fp-lI/AAAAAAAAXtI/tU646ggxX_cKbZvKalUILGsqinPZXKbPwCLcB/s400/Today%2B1.png" width="318" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Of course, I had to alter a little bit to fit my 8.5x11 page size, but otherwise I stayed pretty true to the sketch. I love how the little mirror flower embellishment worked for the flower cluster while keeping the page boy friendly. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-rRwxLBlObJE/WCZ_b6TKRzI/AAAAAAAAXtM/FF8ZMtsT3ows5h_t2r7YbH8y3X-I54_WQCLcB/s1600/Today%2B-%2Bdetail%2B1.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="234" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-rRwxLBlObJE/WCZ_b6TKRzI/AAAAAAAAXtM/FF8ZMtsT3ows5h_t2r7YbH8y3X-I54_WQCLcB/s320/Today%2B-%2Bdetail%2B1.png" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Throughout the month of September, there were several pages posted for the sketch challenge...so be sure to check out the September blog archive to see more looks from the same sketch....And, as always, for more inspiration using the September kit, Shine Bright...take a peek at the <a href="https://www.scrapbookcircle.com/ideas">Scrapbook Circle Idea Gallery.</a></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Hello...still playing catch up with some projects. This page was up on the Scrapbook Circle blog on September 20th...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b><i><span style="font-size: large;">Super Models</span></i></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-FvrQaEnuzz4/WCZ5a-UenaI/AAAAAAAAXsw/3fSZ5SIZM8cmX9mt77FoSs_Xj5_M52kkgCLcB/s1600/Super%2BModels%2B1.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-FvrQaEnuzz4/WCZ5a-UenaI/AAAAAAAAXsw/3fSZ5SIZM8cmX9mt77FoSs_Xj5_M52kkgCLcB/s320/Super%2BModels%2B1.png" width="252" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I chose to use the square water resist cards as design elements for my layout. I picked out some ink that coordinated with the Thickers, and topped each square with a few embellishments.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-lk_XftLME0g/WCZ5q3ovXlI/AAAAAAAAXs0/3JOXaRZhn1gVzRDTPpgKBFJwlDZTCmD8gCLcB/s1600/Super%2BModels%2B-%2Bdetail%2B2.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="234" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-lk_XftLME0g/WCZ5q3ovXlI/AAAAAAAAXs0/3JOXaRZhn1gVzRDTPpgKBFJwlDZTCmD8gCLcB/s320/Super%2BModels%2B-%2Bdetail%2B2.png" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This project was for the 1 product/2 ways feature, and you won't want to miss how Neela used the water resist cards on her layout. Head over to <a href="https://www.scrapbookcircle.com/2016/09/1-product-2-ways-watercolor-resist-cards">Scrapbook Circle</a> to check it out!</div>

Hiya! Today, I'm moving on to catching up on my September projects for the <a href="https://www.scrapbookcircle.com/2016/09/designers-choice-with-kelly-3">Scrapbook Circle blog</a>. This page was up on September 3rd...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b><i><span style="font-size: large;">A Wee Snack</span></i></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-dL1flVbhDL0/WCZ1oHQxiaI/AAAAAAAAXsc/CEbVsblzvMQkwun1GInVXBBpWVK6OGqSgCLcB/s1600/Snack%2B1.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-dL1flVbhDL0/WCZ1oHQxiaI/AAAAAAAAXsc/CEbVsblzvMQkwun1GInVXBBpWVK6OGqSgCLcB/s400/Snack%2B1.png" width="316" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I have three boys, and some pretty cute nephews...so it's always a fun challenge for me to create masculine pages. I used colors from the photo to determine what elements to pull form the kit. I chose some red patterned paper from the 6x6 pad in the September 'Be You' Add-On, which matched my nephew's shirt. The Yellow Puffy Alphs from Freckled Fawn brought out the mustard in the sandwich. And, of course blue and grey are always good choices when creating boy pages!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I loved the design on the Pink Fresh 'Blue Valley' paper, and did a little doodling on the half circles with a black pen. I used one of the adorable little clips to attach the journaling spot...a couple of pieces of foam tape helped to to stay nice and even.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Ooookay, wrapping up my August projects today. This page was up on the <a href="https://www.scrapbookcircle.com/2016/08/tech-tip-with-kelly-2">Scrapbook Circle Blog</a> on August 24th...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b><i><span style="font-size: large;">Oh Yeah</span></i></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-j-A5ctnxKoU/WCZxhVkEOiI/AAAAAAAAXsE/sRwgc8w2r4Q59ILOJuClWxVjkq5BEFsGwCLcB/s1600/Oh%2BYeah%2B1.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-j-A5ctnxKoU/WCZxhVkEOiI/AAAAAAAAXsE/sRwgc8w2r4Q59ILOJuClWxVjkq5BEFsGwCLcB/s400/Oh%2BYeah%2B1.png" width="316" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I loved the stencil that came in the kit, and really wanted to use it. I usually don't do a whole lot of mixed media on my projects, so I didn't really want to attempt paint or mists. Inspired by my photo...I decided the triangles would make some pretty cute fishies...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-zlrpAnmjq1A/WCZx31XApqI/AAAAAAAAXsI/5PwO3T7hm-c2VwbkCLCKSjGJ-Mq6Rgf5wCLcB/s1600/Oh%2BYeah%2B-%2Bdetail%2B1.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="234" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-zlrpAnmjq1A/WCZx31XApqI/AAAAAAAAXsI/5PwO3T7hm-c2VwbkCLCKSjGJ-Mq6Rgf5wCLcB/s320/Oh%2BYeah%2B-%2Bdetail%2B1.png" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I started with a plain piece of white cardstock, and used a grey marker to trace some of the triangles to make fish shapes in a staggered pattern. I used a water color pencil and a blender pen to fill them in, and then outlined them with some iridescent glitter glue. I then just built up the rest of my page from there. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Qf6cDzlmPL8/WCZyLyJ8csI/AAAAAAAAXsM/Mr06WmoXU_Q9ev3QZhn4c7hZc56Iif7BACLcB/s1600/Oh%2BYeah%2B-%2Bdetail%2B2.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="234" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Qf6cDzlmPL8/WCZyLyJ8csI/AAAAAAAAXsM/Mr06WmoXU_Q9ev3QZhn4c7hZc56Iif7BACLcB/s320/Oh%2BYeah%2B-%2Bdetail%2B2.png" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I also used some of the outlines form the Pretty Little Studio number stickers, found in the Adventure Awaits Add-On, to make the 'bubbles'.</div>

Hello! Still catching up on my <a href="https://www.scrapbookcircle.com/2016/08/designers-choice-with-kelly-2">Scrapbook Circle</a> projects...This page was up on August 20.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b><i><span style="font-size: large;">Camp Fire</span></i></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I created a quilt look to my background with pages from the 6x6 paper pad. I cut three patterns in half on an angle, lined up the points, and stitched them together. Then...I matted the photo, and mounted it in the center.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-eTRcAWRAsWk/WCZunjNsGeI/AAAAAAAAXr4/Gx_OwZhg9SYUe_5UX_j7aQtvxRZC16aDgCLcB/s1600/Camp%2BFire%2B-%2Bdetail%2B1.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="234" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-eTRcAWRAsWk/WCZunjNsGeI/AAAAAAAAXr4/Gx_OwZhg9SYUe_5UX_j7aQtvxRZC16aDgCLcB/s320/Camp%2BFire%2B-%2Bdetail%2B1.png" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I felt like the diamond shaped badge from Pink Paislee accentuated the angles perfectly, and it also draws the eyed down to the title.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I am really liking the look of angling elements diagonally across my pages lately. So, I started by placing my photo in the top right corner, knowing that I wanted to include my journaling in the bottom left corner. I then arranged the badges to the bottom left of the photo, and used a few more embellishments along with the title to create a diagonal line.</div>

This page was created using the August Main Kit, Snapshot...along with the Adventure Awaits Add-On. I loved the number stickers from Pretty little Studio, and decided to use them to document the week we spend at my parent's house every summer. In 2014, it was July 13 through the 19th. I used the Puffy Stickers from the main kit to highlight that week. I also used the Monday-Friday stickers from the Pink Paislee Outfitters sticker sheet to set it up like a calendar.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I really liked the color scheme of the stickers, so I pulled out everything that matched. I felt like the pool pics were the perfect aqua color, and the wood grain background made an awesome contrast. I layered to pieces of paper from the 6x6 pad, arranged my photos, and just started tucking things in.</div>

<b><i>Summer Fun & Sunshine</i></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
I had a lot of fun with this one. I loved the ray paper from the 6x6 paper pad, and right away paired it up with the die cut sun from the Simple Stories Bits and Pieces. The clouds from Fancy Pants' puffy stickers were a no brainer after that :)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I decided to cut the ray paper in half diagonally and stitch them in opposite corners. Then I arranged my photos along with some more fun embellishments between them. The bottom half of the ray paper was the perfect spot for my title.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Just like the game, we use the previous month's challenge layout for inspiration...passing it on to a new Creative Team member each month. Here is Jung's layout from June..</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-XIayW3Ys10E/V6KXrnN9TzI/AAAAAAAAWso/7yh4MucvfPMY4ByXAw8mb1_Jdkx2YOQvwCLcB/s1600/ahsang-SC-kinder-1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-XIayW3Ys10E/V6KXrnN9TzI/AAAAAAAAWso/7yh4MucvfPMY4ByXAw8mb1_Jdkx2YOQvwCLcB/s400/ahsang-SC-kinder-1.jpg" width="361" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I was inspired by the grid made of patterned paper. I chose a piece of paper from the 6x6 pad found in the You've Got This embellishment add-on that already had a triangle grid pattern on it.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
I cut the squares apart, enhanced the triangles with some stitching, and used it as a mat form my photo.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-FQnrH-3Wjrc/V6KXei32zlI/AAAAAAAAWsk/mL5EPsfs0SYexElnWX8kuHr6ziQ95ttmgCLcB/s1600/Happy%2BMoments%2B-%2Bdetail%2B2.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="292" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-FQnrH-3Wjrc/V6KXei32zlI/AAAAAAAAWsk/mL5EPsfs0SYexElnWX8kuHr6ziQ95ttmgCLcB/s400/Happy%2BMoments%2B-%2Bdetail%2B2.png" width="400" /></a></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I used the triangles to draw the eye around the page, and layered a few of them to the right, using the top one for my journaling.</div>

Happy Father's Day! Today, I'm sharing a page that I had up on the <a href="http://www.scrapbookcircle.com/2016/06/dt-choice-fathers-day-layout">Scrapbook Circle Blog</a> last Sunday.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><i>Best Dad Evah</i></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-b2rkF02CSjA/V2IQpUPyIVI/AAAAAAAAWCs/6jZB5uwQWEUsx580rQPkrDLp1Sd1SwPmgCLcB/s1600/Best%2BDad%2B3.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-b2rkF02CSjA/V2IQpUPyIVI/AAAAAAAAWCs/6jZB5uwQWEUsx580rQPkrDLp1Sd1SwPmgCLcB/s400/Best%2BDad%2B3.png" width="317" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Along with June's <b>Now or Never</b> kit, I used a scrap piece of paper from the Dear Lizzy Happy Place 6x6 pad found in the Stay Cool embellishment Add-on from the April kit to help mat my photo.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Yaw01olcgNg/V2IRH6ph-NI/AAAAAAAAWC0/Khw97B99unst0mf1LPDpKMNal4rEiaHAQCLcB/s1600/Best%2BDad%2B-%2Bdetail%2B1.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="292" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Yaw01olcgNg/V2IRH6ph-NI/AAAAAAAAWC0/Khw97B99unst0mf1LPDpKMNal4rEiaHAQCLcB/s400/Best%2BDad%2B-%2Bdetail%2B1.png" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
That little addition of scrap paper really comes in handy for tucking in bits and pieces, and helping the photo pop out a little bit more from the background. That cluster of flowers is made from elements out of the Bella Blvd She Blooms paper pieces found in the main kit.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-oB3DlADDp7E/V2IROMMp_dI/AAAAAAAAWC8/2j_mHBa8idQ5sl7BHRz0vcU_Couwcrw2ACLcB/s1600/Best%2BDad%2B-%2Bdetail%2B2.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="292" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-oB3DlADDp7E/V2IROMMp_dI/AAAAAAAAWC8/2j_mHBa8idQ5sl7BHRz0vcU_Couwcrw2ACLcB/s400/Best%2BDad%2B-%2Bdetail%2B2.png" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
One of my favorite things to do is use different fonts for longer titles to add a little bit of interest. A little stitching and hand written journaling finish the look.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Hi again! I was up on the Scrapbook Circle Blog on June 8th sharing a few tips on my layering process. I'm not very tech-y, or technique-y for that matter...but I do have a few tricks when it comes to putting my pages together.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><i>Happy Sweet Nerd</i></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-a6-dg028SvE/V2IH-TulQuI/AAAAAAAAWCE/ZrDXtNUj-1IE30fB59CX8iy6hZahw8QSQCLcB/s1600/Nerd%2B3.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-a6-dg028SvE/V2IH-TulQuI/AAAAAAAAWCE/ZrDXtNUj-1IE30fB59CX8iy6hZahw8QSQCLcB/s400/Nerd%2B3.png" width="315" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I usually start by grabbing the products I know I want to use, and just move them around with my photo on whatever background I have chosen. When I am pleased with how it looks, I take a photo with my phone. Here is the phone pic that I took of today's layout before I stuck everything down:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-4YIlKanDMSE/V2IHFElRfUI/AAAAAAAAWB0/-Sr0HexMs5Mtv_a0KlB0nlYhfeiB-A3UACLcB/s1600/Nerd%2B-%2Bprocess.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-4YIlKanDMSE/V2IHFElRfUI/AAAAAAAAWB0/-Sr0HexMs5Mtv_a0KlB0nlYhfeiB-A3UACLcB/s400/Nerd%2B-%2Bprocess.jpg" width="318" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I also make pencil marks to make sure I start in the right place, and don't run out of room at the top or bottom once I start putting things back together. Here, I marked where the white space was going to be...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-q4QhtK8JyMo/V2IHFvL9ZZI/AAAAAAAAWB4/bRE6mffO0mYDOf6tiQBzhFlvVe77YILwgCLcB/s1600/Nerd%2BProcess%2B2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-q4QhtK8JyMo/V2IHFvL9ZZI/AAAAAAAAWB4/bRE6mffO0mYDOf6tiQBzhFlvVe77YILwgCLcB/s400/Nerd%2BProcess%2B2.jpg" width="312" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The picture and pencil marks are guidelines for putting my page back together, and I can add more detail as I stick things down...like hidden journaling and stitching.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-KDWQ91gyjBI/V2IJeEhJ1AI/AAAAAAAAWCQ/Y98fZUy7h-UEYQFg8GbjgW5ifBkzkkhRQCLcB/s1600/Nerd%2B-%2Bdetail%2B4.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="292" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-KDWQ91gyjBI/V2IJeEhJ1AI/AAAAAAAAWCQ/Y98fZUy7h-UEYQFg8GbjgW5ifBkzkkhRQCLcB/s400/Nerd%2B-%2Bdetail%2B4.png" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I might even change things around once it's coming together, and add a few more embellishments.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-RWsmXuBm4iM/V2IJnWxU5AI/AAAAAAAAWCY/DFNs4IEw5kQanAs7W-hb61sHjClxv9zcACLcB/s1600/Nerd%2B-%2Bdetail%2B2.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="292" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-RWsmXuBm4iM/V2IJnWxU5AI/AAAAAAAAWCY/DFNs4IEw5kQanAs7W-hb61sHjClxv9zcACLcB/s400/Nerd%2B-%2Bdetail%2B2.png" width="400" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have a hard time committing...I have never been a peel and stick kind of girl. So, these simple tips have really helped me to get creative with my layering....and remember how to put it back together!</div>

Hello! Today I'm sharing a page made with the sketch for the National Scrapbooking Day challenge posted on the <a href="http://www.scrapbookcircle.com/2016/05/dt-choice-nsd-sketch">Scrapbook Circle</a> <a href="https://www.facebook.com/scrapbookcircle/?fref=ts">FB page</a> on May 6th.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-0Hi6aYt_ihI/V2IBrP9RJJI/AAAAAAAAWBE/fObXKmFb9lUaH-ixzNpAY5kZeg33z3pewCLcB/s1600/12998637_10209423361607475_1811098396624917441_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-0Hi6aYt_ihI/V2IBrP9RJJI/AAAAAAAAWBE/fObXKmFb9lUaH-ixzNpAY5kZeg33z3pewCLcB/s320/12998637_10209423361607475_1811098396624917441_n.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I used May's Here & Now kit to get this look:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><i>You Play</i></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-ypxvyx9GiXA/V2ICiDzMBbI/AAAAAAAAWBY/XwPsBf0B7PoOI3dFWsWhaWFnHTlStFKtQCLcB/s1600/You%2BPlay%2B2.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-ypxvyx9GiXA/V2ICiDzMBbI/AAAAAAAAWBY/XwPsBf0B7PoOI3dFWsWhaWFnHTlStFKtQCLcB/s400/You%2BPlay%2B2.png" width="316" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I love getting creative with ways to use 12x12 sketches for my preferred 8.5x11 pages. To make this sketch work, I used the top photo area for my title, and one of the bottom photo spaces for my journaling.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-y4XbRozYspE/V2IC6sUpYfI/AAAAAAAAWBk/cWqDa6DFA0ULB5tBgFRaV-T1Zo02h9aAQCLcB/s1600/You%2BPlay%2B-%2Bdetail%2B1.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="292" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-y4XbRozYspE/V2IC6sUpYfI/AAAAAAAAWBk/cWqDa6DFA0ULB5tBgFRaV-T1Zo02h9aAQCLcB/s400/You%2BPlay%2B-%2Bdetail%2B1.png" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I still used a couple of acrylic words as embellishments for the allotted title spot. I added a little whit paint to the back of them so they would pop out a little more...but, not too much.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-WfvT_fzgNRU/V2ICA_FncQI/AAAAAAAAWBM/Ye9tSLq_66scNgDQfPOQbKuwEGsvQOVuACLcB/s1600/You%2BPlay%2B-%2Bdetail%2B2.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="285" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-WfvT_fzgNRU/V2ICA_FncQI/AAAAAAAAWBM/Ye9tSLq_66scNgDQfPOQbKuwEGsvQOVuACLcB/s400/You%2BPlay%2B-%2Bdetail%2B2.png" width="400" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I will probably use the sketch a few more times, with a different number of photos. It is amazing how may looks you can get with just one sketch!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Thanks for stopping by!</div>
