Cricut | Papercrafting with Kelly Janes

Scrapbooking truly is my first papercrafting love and I have another layout to share with you today! I also have another YouTube video to share!

This layout has a white cardstock base and I’m unsure of the manufacturer…I think it’s Basic Grey but it’s been in my stash A LONG TIME! I added a layer of white gesso and then Crazy Daisy & Green with Envy Aqua Huez Paints from Shimmerz. Next I grabbed the bold striped pattern paper from MME, a Project Life card from Hip Kit Club, and vellum to mat under my photo.

Once I had the photo cluster down I started embellishing. I added a lot of Pink Fresh Studio including the swirly embellishments beside the photo, the washi tape, the puffy word sticker, the wood veneer asterisk & the paper heart. There is also quite a bit of Basic Grey; including the flowers, the ruler piece along the top of the photo cluster, and the enamel dots. All of the Basic Grey & Pink Fresh Studio embellishments came from the March Kit from Hip Kit Club.

I also added some tangled thread, stitching in the corners of the photo cluster, and a vellum butterfly (from a Hip Kit Club cut file) that was left over from a previous project.

The title, Make Everyday Awesome, is from The Say Anything Cut File from The Cut Shoppe and is sprayed with Heidi Swapp Butter Color Shine. The Butter color matches the Shimmerz paints beautifully! I am linking this layout to The Cut Shoppe Blog ‘Cut It Out’ April Challenge.

As promised here is the process video to accompany the layout!

I have a new scrapbook layout to share with you today! If you follow my blog or Instagram you know that I’m not a chronological scrapbooker. I tend to scrapbook however my mood strikes me. I’m usually inspired by the papers, embellishments or even a cut file and then will find photos to fit those things. That is how this layout came to be! I found a cut file from Scrapbook Nerd and knew I had the perfect photo that I had been wanting to document!

This layout consists mainly from a mix of previous kits from Hip Kit Club, including a majority of the papers, the “Seriously” Heidi Swapp piece that I painted with black acrylic paint, the “Got Game” Pink Fresh Alpha Stickers, and the “High Five” washi tape. I used Black Cardstock from CTMH for the cut file pieces (the two triangles positioned around the photos, the black arrows, and also the gaming remote). The black stars are actually White Enamel Stars from CTMH that I colored using my Black ShinHan™ Touch Twin™ Marker. I love that alcohol markers can be used to customize those types of embellishments!!

This layout was a lot of fun to put together!!
