MY CREATIVE SCRAPBOOK PROJECTS FOR JUNE

Hello, friends! I just wanted to take a minute to pop in here to share two layouts I created using the June Kit from My Creative Scrapbook! One of the things I love about this kit club is that you can just purchase a kit without subscribing...to get a feel of the kits before you decide to commit! The June kit features products from Pinkfresh Studio's Fresh Start collection. It's the perfect kit to scrapbook those special gatherings with your friends, family or simply documenting your daily life.

I played with the digital cut file this month, backing it up with patterned papers and pretty die cuts! I cut the patterned papers so I could create a fun border. Check out my process video to see how this came together! It was a super fun layout to make.


This cluster of embellishments makes me happy. I absolutely love it!



For my next layout, I decided to play with the patterns. I cut the pattern to create a blank-feel for the layout. It's the perfect technique for the snuggling photos.
The shapes and pastel colors are so soft and pretty.



LOVE the big print patterned paper with the flowers. I decided to cut the paper to use as a nice frame for the photo. Next, I tucked a variety of flowers and other embellishments here and there to bring this beauty to life.

THE BEACH IS CALLING AND I MUST GO/SIMPLE STORIES

Hello, friends! I'm super excited to share my latest SN@P Binder with you... I used Simple Storie's latest collection, Simple Vintage Sand & Sea to create this album. This collection is so pretty and it was perfect for the photos I had. Pete and I have always had a boat and I have so many pictures of the two of us together out on the water...so I thought I'd make a mini album with them.

I used a few rub-ons and a foam sticker to decorate the back of the album. LOVE the rub-ons in this collection. They are beautiful!
Have you seen the new 4x6 SN@P Binders? They are small, but mighty! I love this size...it's something different and I'm looking forward to playing with the smaller albums!
I had so much fun playing with layers on this spread. I used a variety of rub-ons, chipboard, and die cuts to bring this page together. It is perfect.
This is the inside of a flip page I created. I have a full tutorial on how this album came together. I'll include the video at the end so you can check it out! There are lots of fun tips and techniques throughout the video!
In the video, I shared how to create a half circle interactive spread. I love doing fun things in my albums to Stand out...and be different.
The embellishments are so pretty...I can't get enough of them. This is such a gorgeous nautical collection. The designs and color scheme is on point.
Check out my process video to see the other pages I created. It's a fun video and I think you will enjoy it! Thank you so much for visiting today.

SMILE/A CHERRY ON TOP

Hello, friends! It's Nicole Martel here with a bright and colorful vacation layout I created using Simple Stories' Color Me Happy collection. I just love this collection. It's super fun and it's perfect for documenting these girl's weekend celebrating my sister's 30th birthday in Mexico. 

I love clustering stickers and embellishments together to create dimension. I use foam squares/strips to pop up some of the embellishments. They look so pretty layered together.
All of those bright and colorful embellishments look like the perfect eye candy! Super fun. There's so much to look at...from the decorative brads to the flowers and stickers...This cluster of embellishments makes me happy. 

I used the cut-apart card to create a fun journaling block and then added all the stickers and die cuts. Next, I added some journaling. So fun!

Thank you so much for visiting today! If you like this layout, check out the mini album I created for my sister, here! I can't wait to give both projects to her.
