See great pages. Feel inspired. Get scrappin! Here’s what Trace Geworsky did with the August kit. I have to point out that Trace managed to make nine (9) layouts, a card and a mini book with the August Main kit and still has stuff left over! Talk about a really awesome and crammed-packed kit, if I do say so myself.
*******************************
“Good Stuff”
A card by Trace using the August Main kit.
“For this card titled simply “good stuff” I used one of the chipboard butterflies as a stencil and traced it over a folded piece of cardstock, so that after trimming it, it would stand open. I used diamond glaze and some beads I had lying around to decorate the body of the butterfly(unfortunately you can still see some of the diamond glaze on the cardstock). I rolled up two small pieces of scrap patterned paper to use as the antennae.”

“Relax: This is Fun”
“I just couldn’t think of a creative title for this one, so I just used the words from the paper as my title! I really liked the Pink Paislee stickers in this kit..On the back of the package there was a piece of paper with samples of each sticker, so I trimmed each design out to also use on my projects. I used the “relax…” paper as the flower center.”

“Fetching Fella”
“I’m really not at all creative when it comes to my titles, so I tend to use rub ons, stickers, etc. to act as my titles.
I wanted to use up some of the numbers from the thickers, so I used them to mark the date from the pictures on my layout. I cut out the little tree design from the paper and adhered it to the matching paper using pop dots.”
*******************************
“Our Family”
“I LOVEworking with patterned paper that has a busy print because it “allows” me to keep the layout quite simple. You dont want to add too much to make it overly busy. I added very short journaling, a rub on, sticker, and for my focal point, I added 3 buttons, the AWESOME crochet flower with ribbon..I wanted my focal point to be a different color then the rest of the layout.”
*******************************
“Pure Joy”
“Because I don’t often add my own title to a layout, I like to use the alphas for other things, like the date, or as decoration. I used some of the thickers as the centers for the flowers on the paper. I added the friend rub on to a scrap piece of blue paper(from the kit) so it would blend in, but still be noticeable at the same time. I took one of the transparency pages out of the mini album , so I could cut out the green butterfly to use on this page.”
*******************************
“enjoy these good memories”
“I had fun using the stickers to form a sentence/title. I loved the journaling paper because it was 4 inches in height same as the picture, so the design worked together. I applied a rub on onto a piece of paper (I cut this paper out that matched the sticker, from the scrap piece) and then adhered a confetti butterfly with a pop dot onto the paper… To make a custom flower around the circle design I trimmed each petal off the fabric flower, and then adhered it pedal by pedal.”
*******************************
“ms flirt”
“I like this picture of my puppy because she looks as though she is flirting with the camera … I chose these Jenni Bowlin papers with this picture because I find her paper to be bright and flirty too. I didn’t want my title to really pop out, so I used the white thickers over the white cardstock and blue & white patterned paper. I layered a strip of ribbon with the flower. Using pop dots, I folded and adhered the confetti butterflies over the printed butterflies on the paper.”
*******************************
“escape reality”
“I went with a 6×8 picture that had a lot of empty space on it, so that I could add my journaling, and the title directly onto the picture. To make it look as though I tied a piece of ribbon around the paper (and to save ribbon). I cut a strip that fit the width of the paper, and adhered it. Then I tied a know on a second piece of ribbon, and adhered the knot onto the ribbon strip.”
*******************************
“before and after”
“I wanted a before and after picture of my son with his haircut, so I used scrap strips of paper to create a large grid design on the background paper. I used a chipboard butterfly from the mini album, applied a rub on to the body and added a button to the center of that design. In the other grid, I layered 2 fabric flowers, with the large button as the flower center.”
