Neat & Tangled + Scrapbook Circle and a Giveaway



I'm really excited about today's post.  Neat & Tangled is hopping with Scrapbook Circle this week.  There's an exclusive Neat & Tangled stamp set in the Scrapbook Circle kit, Mix Tape, this month, and this week we're showing off projects using the kit.



I created a layout.  I love the stamp set and used the books to create a border for my title panel.  I watercolored the border and then fussy cut the top.

I love how bold and graphic the papers in this kit are.  I chose one of the graphic black and white prints for my base paper and then layered some of the other papers under my photo.  I used one of the journaling cards on one side as well to kind of anchor the photo.

There is a great mix of embellishments in the kit.  I was particularly enamored with the Elle's Studio cork shapes and Evalicious puffy stickers.  I stamped the word 'stories' from the N&T stamp and added that with one of the cork pieces in the kit.



Please make sure that you stop by the Scrapbook Circle and Neat & Tangled blogs all week.  Neat & Tangled will be selecting one lucky commenter for a $30 credit to Scrapboook Circle and Scrapbook Circle will be selecting a winner of a $30 credit of N&T.  

AND, I also have a giveaway.  I've got an extra exclusive stamp set up for grabs.  Just leave a comment here, if you follow my blog you can leave an extra comment.  I'll pick a winner this weekend, good luck!

    Love your bold paper and how the weight of your bold title font is just a little bit thicker than the background stripes. They work perfectly together! Those stamps were also a great excuse to scrap that adorable photo : )

    What a beautiful photo!! I love to read and luckily I've passed this on to my kids too. I still read to the kids every night which I always look forward to at the end of the day. The conversations we've had while reading are some I'll never forget. Love that stamp set you used, especially how you created the row of books along the bottom. Super cute!

    First of all, that is an adorable photo! :) So stinkin' cute. This layout makes me what to scrapbook. But of course, I won't. ;) But I love the B& W with the colorful strip of books holding it all together. So fun how you watercolored (?) those. What a fun stamp set. Great sentiment. And the cork. Well, that detail rocks. :)
