My Creative Scrapbook March Main Kit | Step-by-step tutorial Vacay

Hi everyone! Today I'm sharing another step-by-step for one of the layouts I created with the March Main Kit from the kit club "My Creative Scrapbook".

For today I chose to do a step-by-step of my "Vacay" layout created with the March Main Kit and Pebbles' Chasing Adventures collection. I'm a huge fan of Pebbles and totally adore this collection. When I had finished three layouts with this kit I had a large amount of ephemera left over and because I really love each and every one of the cute die-cuts I decided to do a layout where I would use all of the leftover die-cuts I had!

This is the page I made:

As I really loved the result I thought I would show you how I created this. 

First of all I gathered all of the supplies of the March Main Kit I had left (which was quite a lot, considering I had already created 3 layouts with it):

Next I drew a large circle on a sheet of white American Crafts cardstock using a chipboard circle template from Technique Tuesday (from my stash):

Now I had to decide where I wanted which die-cuts on my layout. I started with the flower die-cuts and divided them evenly on the circle I had drawn:

The next step was to fill in all the white spaces on the circle. I started at the bottom:

And in this way I worked my way around the circle. The next part I filled in was the bottom right corner:

I continued my way around the circle, at first only using the die-cuts, but as I neared completion of the circle I also added in some of the fun stickers:

Doesn't it look fun? Those die-cuts in this collection are my new favorites!! 

Now I only had to add my photo to the layout. I chose a photo of my daughter where she has this similar pose to some of the die-cuts of the die-cut girls. I matted the photo on to a piece of yellow patterned paper (from the sheet called Savanna) and placed it on the right middle side of my page:

With a journaling card from the sheet called "Adventure", one of the Thickers phrases and an extra chipboard piece and sticker my layout looked almost finished:

With the addition of some machine stitching, hand journaling and a stamped date (twice) the layout was complete!

The layout was done in no time at all and it felt so good to use all of those die-cuts. Normally when I really really love scrapbook supplies I save them for a very special occasion which often means they stay in my stash gathering dust. Using them felt so much better!

Here's a look at the March Main Kit I used:
