'The Best Part About Today' Layout - My Creative Scrapbook July Limited Edition Kit - Webster's Pages Plum Seed





Just flying in this evening with my next My Creative Scrapbook Limited Edition Kit layout for July. School started again today so we are all in shock - crazy days & evenings are back with ultra early starts & long evenings...yawn...


I generally choose a pale paper for the background rather than too loud a colour or a busy print.


Next I do my wet medium work - in this case using a Christy Tomlinson mask from Pink Paislee.


I used a couple of my punches again - Hearts & Gothic Arches from Martha Stewart.


I cut the chipboard circles into smaller pieces & used the mini bags as paper layers.


The Pink Paislee packaging is as pretty as the Prima ones so I tucked that in too.


I fussy cut the foliage elements & used the full-stops from the Thickers as confetti. Thanks for your visit!  Pop in later at my new challenge blog - Scrap Around The World - as I am off to add our Guest Designer post now :)

Gorgeous plus, adore the mask you used (one of my favourites that I have not yet used - eeek) ... and your fussy cut elements and how you grouped/designed the page.... had a chuckle to see we both used the same title on our sketch LO's... funny!!

You must be so tired of me saying I love this and I love that...so I will just say this is my favourite by you with this kit. I love the doily image in the background.

Gorgeous! I love the subtle masking on the background and the use of the circle motif! You need to be in photos more often!
