Let’s Go – With Guest Designer Jackie

.

.

Hi crafters, Jackie here as guest designer this month using the lovely August Going Place kit, and as usual what a full and fun packed kit it is.

As the kit was title ‘Going Places” I decided to create my first layout using that theme – and what could be better than the start our recent holiday to Florida.

.

I started by added a stencil design to the middle of my cardstock and went around the edges of the arrow design with a fine tipped pen to add some definitions around the stencil. However as you can see I end up covering the majority of the design with the products , but I’m ok with that as you can still see the design around the edges.

I back my photographs using patterned paper and distressed the edge to add some extra texture.

.

The little green envelope was the perfect addition to hold some hidden journaling – I punched a tag from patterned paper and embellished the from and added my journaling to the back.

.

The patterned paper that as strips of words and patterns are ideal to add extra details to my page. I added one under my photograph and also cut one and added to the small envelope.

Finishing the layout with some chevrons from the chevron paper and various tags and stickers from the kit.

I love how this layout as come together using the lovely kit and will be back soon sharing another project.

Let me know how you have used your kit … are you a scrapbooker or do you use in your journals? I would love to see what you create.

Till next time

Happy crafting x
