My Cluttered Corner

My One Item Wonder for the Scrapbook Circle October Kit was the Cork Shapes by Elle's Studio. I love the little cork arrows, stars and other shapes. They were not self adhesive so I decided to have fun attaching them with staples. I used my Tim Holtz Mini Attacher and combined elements from the Scrapbook Circle Main Kit  On This Day as well as the add on Good Times and add on Right Now.

I love adding staples to embellishments for boy layouts and the combination of colors of the staples and cork worked perfectly here.

The combination of textures is fun too.

Be sure and check out the October kit soon because it is selling fast!

I am always looking for ways to include lots of patterned paper on one layout. I've seen lots of people put different patterns on the corners of their layouts and figured that is the perfect way to include multiple patterns without overwhelming the photos! I used the Scrapbook Circle Main Kit On This Day as well as the add on Good Times and add on Right Now.

I used the least busy patterned paper as the main background. Then included corners here:

and here:

The photos were mounted on a solid color and since the busier patterned papers were just on the corners, the photos still take center stage!

There are so many fun characters in the Frankie and Friends collection, but that little ghost is one of my favorites :) The chipboard stickers, die cuts and enamel dots on top of a die cut card front came together quickly to make a cute Halloween scene.
