Simple Stories Vintage Cottage Fields Layouts for Scrap Shotz

  Hello everyone! Carolyn back today with some more layouts using the February Kit. These layouts use the Simple Stories "Vintage Cottage Fields" Collection.

Layout #1

For this layout, I had wanted to use the coloured tag stickers. I felt the background was too similar so I added some stamped leaves using the Altenew stamp from last month's kit. I used a marker to make a dot circle and stuck the foam hearts along the line. 

The papers behind the picture are torn and have a piece of ephemera underneath. I finished off the layout with some chipboard and brad stickers.

Layout #2

For my second layout, I pulled a few items out of the kit that had to do with birds and nests. I thought it would go well with the subject of my picture. I always shy away from using the really bold patterned paper so I decided I was going to go for it this time. I actually used my scalloped scissors to make the border! Those things hardly ever get used. The rest of the layout is a combo of cardstock, chipboard and foam stickers. Here is a closer look.

Thanks for having a look at the blog today. Keep scrappy!

February Kit from Scrap Shotz

 Hello everyone! Today I have 2 layouts using the February kit from Scrap Shotz. The kit is full of Simple Stories "Vintage Cottage Fields". This collection has lots of flowers and butterflies and a mixed media feel to many of the papers. 

My first layout was inspired by the butterflies on the paper. I tried to keep the titles, pictures and embellishments in the same colour as the butterflies. I'm always so excited when I can get 5 photos on a layout! This was also super easy to make. All I had to do was back the photos with cardstock and arrange my chipboard and brad stickers around the journaling. Those title stickers are my favourite part of the kit.

My second layout is inspired by the March sketch in the Creative Scrapbooker Magazine Sketchy Facebook Group. Here is the sketch:

What I like about this sketch is that I could use 2 of the cut apart cards in the paper pack. I also got to use all the cardstock in the kit. The black matting of the pictures helped them to not get lost on the page. The bottom photo looked a little weird without some extra matting. I got to use a little bit of everything on this layout. In addition to the kit elements used in the first layout, I also used the layered stickers (kit add-on), washi tape and die cuts. A few are elevated with foam stickers.

Thanks for looking! I'll be back on Thursday with some more kit creations.
