Hello! Jana Eubank here. I am head-over-heels for the NEW Carta Bella Paper Circus collection and knew I had to use it for one of my son's birthday memories.
I had three photos for this page and I knew that I wanted to line them up in a row. I put the largest photo in the center and then the two smaller, supporting photos on either side.
I cut a large circle from the Multi Journaling Cards paper and matted it with a wavy circle that I cut from the Navy Felt Designer Carstock using my electronic die cutting machine. The large red starburst pattern from this paper really draws your attention to the photos and makes them "center-stage."
Nothing says "party" like a banner! I used a banner punch and the Three Ring Circus patterned paper from the 6x6 paper pad to create a mini banner out of the different characters on the cards. The striped triangle pennant pieces were also punched from the 6x6 paper pad. I adhered the banner pieces in a row to my background and then used my sewing machine to stitch across the top so they appear to be strung together.
I used my scissors to cut out a few rows of tickets from the Admission Tickets paper. I used them as a border for the row of photos and the second word of my title to "sit" on. To the left of the title I build a fun little embellishment cluster using the Chipboard Ringmaster and Marching Band Mouse along with a couple of fun pieces from the Frames & Tags Ephemera pack. (Nothing says "Birthday" like a clown!"
I scattered a few stars around the page to tie things together, and also used them to dot the letter "i" in each word of my title. I love adding little details like that!
What will YOU scrapbook with the Carta Bella Paper Circus collection?
