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.
BIRTHDAY WISH
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 Cardstock using my Silhouette Cameo. 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 6×6 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 6×6 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?
