Pattern Play with Kira

Hey everyone!  It’s Kira and I am back with a 12×12 scrapbook layout.  I’ve been seeing these large circle grid style layouts lately and just knew I had to jump on that trend!

I started by cutting nine 3 1/2″ circles on a 12×12 piece of textured white cardstock, using my Cricut.  I spaced them all evenly so it was a true grid style.  While my paper was still attached to my cutting mat, I added a tiny bit of ink around the circles.  I decided which color inks I had planned to use for my stamping, and in what order they would go on my page.  Then I added some ink to a large acrylic block, added some water, and painted each color around the edge of each circle.

The center circle was going to house my photo.  I chose this photo of my oldest son wearing my husband’s postal hat while he napped.  And then I searched through the stamps to find a coordinating phrase.  Gangsta Napper?!  I mean, come on.  How perfect is that?!  Lol.  You can find this phrase in the Fur Babies stamp set.

On some scrap smooth white cardstock, I created a pattern with the phrase in each color of ink.  I adhered each stamped pattern behind the coordinating circle after adding some foam behind my background paper.

To finish off my page, I used all sorts of stickers and used a color blocking technique to embellish the page.

Thanks for stopping by!

xo, Kira
