Hello and Happy National Scrapbooking Day!
After recently flipping through the Spring issue of Scrapbook & Cards Today I was incredibly inspired to create a layout featuring circles! There are so many wonderful projects featuring this popular shape throughout the spring issue, but one in particular caught my eye. I absolutely fell in love with the layout designed by Kathy Skou in the PageMaps article on page 27. So many of my own designs tend to be very streamlined that the freestyle circles of both the sketch and the layout instantly captured my attention.
Supplies: Cardstock: Bazzill Basics; Patterned Paper: Basic Grey, American Crafts; Bottle Cap Embellishment: Basic Grey ; Die Cut Accents: Webster’s Pages, Elle’s Studio ; Enamel Dots: My Mind’s Eye; Die Cutting Tool and Die: Silhouette
Inspired by Kathy Skou's layout:
One additional feature that really intrigued me was Vicki’s “Designer Notebook” article. I’ve been seeing the very popular feather accent not only in scrapbooking, but in fashion and home decor as well. I was very excited to incorporate this trendy embellishment into a layout of my own. I used my die cutting tool to cut the shape then added a touch of shimmer and sparkle using Stickles glitter glue in gold!

I luv the adapted cirle layout - a little more blue, and it will make a great page for my boys!
The Hipster colours are wonderful and calming - can't wait to use them! Happy NSD!

Thank you Basic Grey for all of your wonderful lines over the years. Hipster looks great. My favourite is still Marrakech. It was perfect for our honeymoon in Morocco.
