Bloom Street Layout for Scrap Shotz

Hello everyone! I'm back with a scrapbook layout using the May Kit. This kit is full of the Bloom Street Collection by Pink Paislee (Paige Taylor Evans). So I figured a Paige Evans cut file was in order. They can be purchased in the Silhouette Store or in her Etsy Shop.
Ok, so maybe this cut file was a little ambitious - it took a loooong time to back all those boxes. But no pain, no gain - right? I chose this design because I have so many pictures and need to get more than one on a layout if I'm ever going to scrap them all. I used a couple different papers for the backing. I prefer to trace the boxes, cut them out and then adhere them with a glue pen. Those smaller boxes were also perfect for using the 2x2 squares from the mini paper pad. There are 4 of them on there. I also have the mixed embellishment pack with flower sequins. To add some more interest, I made shaker pockets. Here is a close-up:
I had a plastic wrapper I wasn't using so I cut it to the correct size and glued the two open sides with my glue pen. I used lots of tape on the back of the layout to hold the smaller pieces and shakers in place. The picture also shows how I used pop dots to lift some of the stickers off the layout. The butterfly pack is also lots of fun because you can adjust the wings to make them look three dimensional.
To finish things off, I made a title using the puffy titles stickers. I had to break apart a few words to spell 'silly'. Let's hope I don't need those letters later! And how cute is that picture? I had to do a close-up. 

That's all for now. Have a scrappy week!

Bloom Street Layouts with the May Scrap Shotz Kit

Hello! Today I have two layouts to show you with the May Kit. This kit is fabulous!
It is full of Pink Paislee - Bloom Street. Pretty pastel colours fill the pattern papers. I'll be using every piece of this kit.

My first layout is of my daughter wearing my glasses. I cut a giant cut file of glasses using the Bazzill cardstock in the kit and some black from my stash. The green part is an inner offset of the outer black part. Then I fussy cut flowers like crazy from this paper.
The background I covered in gesso and then sprayed with green, yellow and blue Colorshine. The square cards come from the 2x2 paper pad. I layered them in some places.
The title is made from foam Color Vibe Stickers by Simple Stories. The purple flower with a gem in the center is from the mixed embellishments pack. I used a pop dot to adhere it to the page which works really well.
I finished decorating the page with phrase stickers from the cardstock sticker sheet.
The journaling was done on a card from this sheet.
My second layout was inspired by the June sketch in the Creative Scrapbooker Magazine Facebook Group
Here is the sketch:
I followed the sketch really closely. I used a mixture of patterned papers but since I used butterflies on the base it only made sense to decorate with the Dimensional Butterfly Stickers. I tried to bend the wings so they would pop off the page. 
I love mixing fonts for a title. Here is an example:
That's all for me today. I'll be back on Monday with some more inspiration. Have a great weekend!
