Libby's Craft Studio: Forever Friends Scrapbook Layout

Love scrapbooking?

Have you wondered how to get started to create a scrapbook page?

The Stampin' Up! Forever Friends Card Kit from the Kits Collection is perfect for a one-page or two-page scrapbook layout.

Of course, this kit also makes beautiful cards as well!

Stretch your creativity and see what you can create from these wonderful kits!

You can purchase this kit at Polly's Online Store.

Here's my layout using this kit along with several additional products - Stampin' Up! Wonderful Thoughts Stamp Set, Brushed Brass Butterflies, Cardstock & Embossing Folders.

I also created a card (There will be more alternate cards to come).

The page title is: "You're Wonderful... You're Loved... You Matter."

For the base of my layout, I used Daffodil Delight 12x12 Cardstock.

The photo mats are Calypso Coral Cardstock.

One-inch strips were cut from Calypso Coral & Old Olive Cardstock as well as from the kit.

The Cardstock strips were embossed using the Basics 3D Embossing Folders & Cane Weave Embossing Folder.

The flowers were fussy cut from images in the kit. The center flowers were adhered with the foam strip also from the kit. The yellow flowers and leaves were tucked behind the raised flowers.

Brushed Brass Butterflies were added around the flowers.

Twine from the kit was wrapped around the left side of my page twice.

The sentiment is from the Stampin' Up! Wonderful Thoughts Stamp Set using Calypso Coral ink and cut between each of the word groupings and adhered with foam strips.

Strips from the kit were added behind the photo mat. The white layers are from an envelope and card base with Old Olive cardstock in between the layers. The green striped strips are from the envelope, which didn't quite reach the width I needed, so I cut it in half. There were adhered with dimensionals.

An additional flower was fussy cut and adhered with foam strips directly over the flower behind it for added dimension.

A small bow was added in the upper corner with a Mini Glue Dot.

Wink of Stella was brushed on all the flower centers.

Several flowers were fussy cut from the kit and tucked behind the photo mats.

Additional flowers wer fussy cut and adhered with adhesive with the Petal Pink flower adhered with foam strips. A double bow was tied using the twine and tucked behind the flowers.

Here's the card I created, also from the kit.

"Sending Lots of Hugs"

An easy card using mostly products from the kit.

The sentiment was stamped using Old Olive ink and fussy cut around the edges then adhered with foam strips.

Brushed Brass Butterflies surround the focal image.

Twine was wrapped around the striped strip twice and tied in a bow.

Inside was kept simple with a layer of Basic White cardstock and a 3/4" strip from the envelope flap.
