Hello Everybody, Jennifer here with a Layout featuring the amazing July Hip Kits. As you have probably realized by now I prefer to use black and white pictures when I scrapbook. Mostly, I like the freedom this gives me – both monochromatic or colorful layouts usually work well with black and white photos. I like how color can make black and white pieces pop of the page.
For this layout I decided to combine both black and white pieces with colorful ones. See how they make each other pop off the page? I am really happy with how this turned out.
Want to create layouts like this? Our monthly kits include coordinated papers, embellishments, and supplies to bring your scrapbook pages to life.
For the background I combined this month’s and last month’s Color Kits. I used the cross stencil with all three Shimmerz sprays and soaked up the extra color with a piece of white cardstock. That’s how I got the “negative” image instead of the crosses themselves.
I matted my photo on both the black and white heart paper by Crate Paper and the colorful exclusive papers by Irit Landgraf. And than I did what everyone is doing with that one flower paper from the Main Kit: fussy cutting. 😀
I saw quite a few people coloring these flowers which looks super pretty. But I decided to leave as is because I like how they looked with the misted background. I added them behind and between my layers. Also, I pulled out the exclusive epoxy, chipboard and wood veneer stickers designed by Kim Watson and Kimberly Hutcherson from both the Main and Embellishment Kit for some added color.
This week I have an extra project for you! I still had so many things left from the June Kits that I just had to make some more projects with them.
This blue ombre paper by Paige Evans / Pink Paislee is absolutely lovely and I just had to use it as a background. I matted my dark-ish photo on some of the lighter papers from the Main Kit and kept the embellishments colorful. Usually, this is not exactly a color scheme I go for. Pink and turquoise? Heck yes. Dark blue and pink? Not so much. But this layout came together really quickly and the colors really work together.
And with that I will leave you to your friday morning/afternoon.
Thanks for stopping by and I will see you soon with a new project.
xoxo Jennifer
