CUTE & CRAFTY EVERYTHING IS BETTER WITH FRIENDS LAYOUT | with Erica

Hey friends! Erica with you today with a fun 12x12 scrapbook layout using the Cute and Crafty collection. For today's layout I really wanted to focus on the Craft in Color 12x12 pattern paper. This is one of my favorite papers and I thought it would be great to highlight it on my page.

I started by cutting the strips of color from the Craft in Color 12x12 paper. I then used one of my large paper punches to punch out the strips.

Next I took my Catherine Pooler inks and created strips of watercolor across my white cardstock. I knew a lot of this color was going to be covered up but I love that the color can be seen peeking out from the punched strips.

I adhered the punched strips to the background and ruffled up the ends just a little bit for some dimension. The Cute & Crafty collection is perfect to document more than just your scrappy adventures! I wanted to document a girls day with one of my besties! We went to a Sip & Shop and had so much fun! They had a fun backdrop set up so we snapped a photo!

To embellish around the page I used a some florals from the Cute and Crafty Bits & Pieces! I love this die cut pack so much! I created some floral clusters around the page trying to match the colors in the punched border strips!

For my title I used one of the large stickers from the 12x12 Cute and Crafty cardstock stickers and trimmed around the words with my scissors. I pulled out a couple packs of sprinkles to add around the page and to some of the floral centers! I just love how colorful this page turned out!
