Complete Creativity “So Happy”

October 23, 2019 /

Hello there! I have another Complete Creativity layout for you today! I am having so much fun customizing these projects to fit my needs and adding my own creative touches. This is actually part of a collaboration I did with fellow consultant Jayma Malme. Be sure to check out her blog for even more inspiration here. This scrapbook layout was originally designed for an 8.5 x 11 layout. I am a 12×12 scrapbooker so, in Design Space, I enlarged everything to scale. I also added an additional 3×3 photo, journaling strips, a second butterfly and additional flower sprigs. I went with the proposed color palette because it worked perfectly with my photos. The pink tone in my sister-in-law’s sweater works with the embellishments to move your eye around the page. However, you could easily change the colors to fit whatever pictures you have in mind. My goal here was to snap a nice family picture for my Brother. His boys were full of laughter and excitement. This was the best picture we got. The title “so Happy” was perfect to capture the shenanigans of the moment.

After cutting my flower from Thistle cardstock, I applied some sparkle with the Clear Shimmer Brush. Adding a few sequins around the page adds some texture and little pops of color. I do recommend adhering these little guys with the micro glue dots. Sometimes with liquid adhesive, they will pop off after the adhesive is dry. The glue dots have a little flex to them and work great!

I really like all the detail you get by layering these Cricut cuts. The chevron background overlay and the torn “notebook” paper all work together perfectly. My base layer cardstock and the chevron overlay are both Glacier cardstock. Because CTMH’s paper is two-toned you can use the reverse side to get this look without having to have all those extra colors of cardstock. Sort of like paint colors on a paint chip, multiple tones in one color family. Brilliant!

I quickly threw this cute little card together utilizing the negative cut-outs from the chevron background. The hearts are cut from the stitched heart thin cuts and the fun plaid pattern is from the Heart patterns stamp set. I created an additional scrapbook layout as well so stay tuned for that or check out the youtube video below to see it all come together.
