Scrapbook Circle Mood Board and Make Your Own Water Colors

Hi All! Rebecca here with this month's mood board. I don't know about you, but these mood boards have become Wish Lists for me! And this one is no different.

Jan mood board

Eeek! The pink, gold and aqua! The camera and water colors! I just love it all to pieces. I used the Scrapbook Circle All You Need is Love kit. Here is my layout take on this mood board:

The color scheme is represented (pink patterned paper, gold elements, aqua and black too). I used the Thickers script word as the the title and to represent the script writing from the Lovely Day words. I used the exclusive Scrapbook Circle stamps to stamp the Be Mine and Love You flags. The wood veneer heart was covered with gold paint.

The pink and gold combination is perfect for a love layout :)SC close up -3

To mimic the gradient aqua water color hues, I used the exclusive Scrapbook Circle mini heart template. I placed it over one of the gold glittered tags and covered the hearts with modelling paste. Once they were dry I water colored the hearts in varying degrees of aqua. To make water colors in varying shades, use water and spray mists.

Fill small cups or a palette with a tiny bit of water and add a drop of mist to the water.SC close up -10

Paint a few the darkest shade, a few a medium shade and several the lightest shade.

Not Just For Christmas!

The Scrapbook Circle December Kit We Are Made of Stories includes several fun Christmas-themed elements. I combined them with the Christmas-themed embellishments from the Favorite Elf ad on to make this layout documenting the shenanigans of our elf of the shelf last year.

The gold glitter and vellum paper here combine well with the Pink Paislee tag and silver number for a very festive look.

But, there are also plenty of non-holiday themed elements to this versatile kit and I was also able to create this everyday type of layout:

Here, the gold glitter and vellum do not look Christmasy at all!

How did you use your kit this month? Any or all Christmas layouts or more general layouts?

Enlarged Photos and Scrapbook Circle

I love playing with enlarged photos and use about one a month with my Scrapbook Circle kits. This month's kit We are Made of Stories and the Add Ons Favorite Elf and Freckled Fawn Embellishment kit were perfect for my enlarged snow photo.

I created a die cut snowflake and layered it over the pretty blue Elle's Studio patterned paper. Smaller photos, journaling, title and the embellishments all get layered right over the photo.

I love using a photo with lots of white space or just with lots of scenery for this type of layout. Do you use enlarged photos for scrapbooking?
