Creating Scallop Embellishments with Kira

Hey Everyone!  Kira here with another 12×12 scrapbook layout.  This time scrapbooking this picture of my youngest son.

Guys, this one is crazy.  He is all energy, all the time.  And drama.  Not sure who he gets that from. #probablyhismom

Anyway, I wanted to create a layout that really highlighted his personality.  And I also wanted to play with the Full Circle stamp set.  Two birds, baby.

I had this idea to create some scallop pieces and sew them on the background of my layout.  I chose my three favorite colors: pink, teal and yellow.  Mostly because I know I will always have embellishments that will match.  And I stamped along the edge of some white cardstock to create the “scallop” effect.

I fussy cut the scallop pieces out and then machine stitched them on with white thread.  But I wasn’t done playing with the stamp set.  So I created a large title on my Cricut and then stamped another circle stamp in the three colors all over my title.

I finished off the layout with some hand stitching and minor embellishing around my photo.

Thanks for stopping by!

xo, Kira
