Dianna's Weekly Planner Spread

June 9, 2018 Andrea Bethke

Hey there friends! It’s Dianna, back with my weekly planner spread using the Hello Beautiful kit!

I used the pretty pastel papers to create this lovely spread! Aqua and pink are my faves so I concentrated on those shades and some black polka dots! It’s a great combo!! To make this planner spread I cut out my paper to fit the dimensions of the boxes in my weekly planner insert. It was super easy and I just used my tape runner to add adhesive to the back of the paper and glued it in place! I love the ledger style paper. It worked perfectly to add some of my to-do’s.

I also cut some of the paper into strips to look like washi tape and layered it in a couple of places. To make the paper clips I simply hot glued the flair button and bow die cut to some gold paper clips.

A few embellishments from the die cuts and sticker sheet and all done! Oh, and I added a little layering on the edge with some ruffle lace too!

Hope you like it! Have a beautiful weekend! 💗

Laura's "True Fairytale" Layout

May 25, 2018 Andrea Bethke

Hello everyone! It's Laura here, and today I am so thrilled to be back sharing my second layout this month, this time using a cut file.

I loved all the designs, but the woodsy, leafy look of this frame in particular stood out to me. In 2014 I was lucky enough to do some traveling in Europe, and I have been using the Hello Beautiful kit to scrap some photos from my time in Germany. In this case I used a photo of my mom and me at a castle we visited.

I decided to cut out the frame as large as possible on a piece of 12x12 paper, and weave in some roses I cut from the patterned paper in the Hello Beautiful kit. I used the pink ledger paper as my background and added a bit of mixed media water color to the background.

To really make the page special I took a photo of the castle we visited and edited it in photoshop so it was a black silhouette, and made my own custom die cut to line the inside of the frame. My goal was to make it match the black border and look like the vines were growing up and around the outline of the castle. The mixed media helped blend it in with the frame.

A few embellishments from the kit helped finished off this special page, and I'm happy to have another part of this trip documented in my scrapbook.

Dianna's Monthly Planner Spread and Tag Place Holder

May 18, 2018 Andrea Bethke

Hello beauties! It’s Dianna, and I’m back this week to show you how I used the “Hello Beautiful” kit to decorate my monthly spread. I also made a tag page marker!! Here we go:

For the left side of my monthly spread I started by filling the empty spaces with some yummy layers of paper from the kit! At the top I used a piece of the Fairytales paper and two die cuts (the pink flower and the word die cut "Spring"). At the bottom I used some of the vellum and layered it with aqua and a “You are beautiful die cut”. The vellum is a new addition to the kit this month! It’s gold foiled and gorgeous! Under that I glued some frilly laces and then added some washi above and a couple of stickers where I had important dates.

On the right side of the monthly calendar I used those flower die cuts. They are my all time favorite! Under them I layered more of the Fairytales paper (both sides! It has a wonderful handwritten look text). Some more trims below, washi and a bow die cut I used as a sticker to mark a date! Here’s a look at the full spread:

I also created a tag page marker!

This tag is super cute! Used my favorite Fairytales paper again! I just measured it to be a little smaller than my actual pages. Layered on some of the black polka dot and the back of the aqua paper. This flower I cut from the “Enchanted Forest” paper and of course added some more lace! Above the layers I added the word die cuts and that cute birdie(another fave!) I punched a hole in the top after adding a heart punched from one of the papers and strung some pretty trims through! These look lovely coming out the top of my planner!!!
