Monkeying Around | ScrappyNerdUK (Claire) | Jan/Feb 2018

Facebook Live has been my recent jam and I love bringing these videos to the Quirky Kits group to share some inspiration.

I wanted to use the leaf ribbon and it popped so well against the black cardstock. This was a fairly straight forward layout to bring together. The hard work is already done with the co-ordinating products already chosen for us.

I used the heart paper from PinkFresh Studios to add decoration to my layout by fussy cutting these. Although they weren't all full hearts, you can still use them by layering them under each other.

I added in a couple of stickers from previous kits (and this feels liberating using up older stash too!!).

Look at how pretty that ribbon looks above and below the patterned paper. It fitted thematically too as I had lots of trees in my photo. This was not planned but worked really well.




I decided to add a title and sub title to my layout as I loved both alphas in the kit. I used the black and white ones from Fancy Pants to create my title of Monkeying Around and added a sub title with the PinkFresh alphas (in grey) by adding At Monkey World. I loved this as a design element and will look to do more of this on future layouts.


And the complete layout is here. Loved the addition of that little bird sitting on the ribbon, looking down at the photo. I completed the layout by adding a faux stitch border around the whole page using a white gel pen.

Thanks for stopping by and i'll see you very very soon for more inspiration!!
