Happy National Scrapbook Day!!!

For those of you who are scrapping today, I have a few layouts to share with you that were created by our fabulous design team members with our amazing March 2013 Hip Kit.  If you aren’t scrapping today, perhaps these awesome pages might inspire you to carve some time out of your day to scrap a little bit.  😉

This first one was created by Cindy Stevens.  Combining the Jillibean Soup “today” Wiseword sticker along with the Yes Please Remarks Alphabet Stickers make for an eye catching title.The Amy Tangerine Yes Please Remarks Sticker Book has so many great icons and words in it… and Cindy used several of them on her page.I love how she used the Maya Road Fabric Tape to create the little pennant banner.  Our March Embellishment Add-On Kit included an Amy Tangerine Yes Please Daybook.  It is so cute and has tons of die cut pages that make creating a mini album a breeze.  However, this little gem can also be used to embellish your traditional scrapbook pages.  Cindy tore the blue ledger page out of her Daybook, folded it in half and layered it behind one of her photos – this added a nice detail and some great texture to her layout.

This sweet layout is by Mel Blackburn.  I love how she clusters and layers her embellishments together and leaves a lot of white space on her pages.  Even though there is a lot going on, the photo of her precious baby girl remains the focus of her layout.  LOVE!!!The combination of stickers, buttons, Thickers, chipboard accents…  give so much dimension and texture to her page.   All of the layers draw your eye deeper and deeper.  It’s like candy for the eyes.  😀

This layout was by Bethany Crowell.  She started with Fountain cardstock and used used the Jillibean Soup diecut Placemat as a mask along with some aqua mist to create this great monochromatic honeycomb background page  This is a really nice foundation to build the rest of her layout.Don’t forget to save the UPC borders at the bottom of your patterned papers.  Oftentimes they  have little sentiments or borders on them that can be the perfect accent for your projects.  Bethany used several stickers from the Amy Tangerine Yes Please Sticker Book to embellish her layout.  Adding pop dots behind a flat sticker is a great way to make and inexpensive dimensional embellishment. 

Thanks so much for stopping by today.  I hope you are feeling inspired to get scrappy today. Tomorrow I will have another collection of amazing layouts created with our March Hip Kit to share with you.  You definitely won’t want to miss them – so make sure to come back and check them out.  Have a scrappy day! xo Kimberly
