Scrapbooking in my travelers notebook is hands down my favorite way to document! It's fast and easy and a great way to play with all of the kits goodies!

Ephemera is my favorite to use on my layouts, I love that you can either layer these guys or use them individually!

Hey girls, its Karen here to share a layout using the May Girly and Strong kit.  This is my first layout using this gorgeous kit and it was so hard to choose what papers and embellishments to use (insert hoard). Everything is so beautiful and cute. Below is my layout starting with the cute poodle paper that I trimmed down to 9x12, I love that size. I have different creative aspects that I stick to when I scrapbook and one is using a lot of embellishments on the one layout. I find that with die cut packets that the contents are all lovely and its very hard to choose a few so why not just throw them all on together. Trust me the first time I did this was hard, I'm a natural born hoarder when it comes to all things paper. But I loved the final look and its kind of stuck with me now.

I love how the wonderful designer Andrea has combined cute poodles and unicorns with the sweet girly pink hearts, bows and sparkly sequins as well as the patterned paper that is quite simple, yet elegant. There really is something for everyone in this kit.

I'm so excited to wrap up my first post and heres to more layouts coming in the next month.

Keep on being happy!

Hey friends! It's Jen Schow again to share another layout using the May Girly and Strong kit. You know how sometimes you love a paper so much that you can't stand to throw even the tiniest little scrap away? Lots of the papers in this kit are like that for me and if the same is true for you, I have a solution for you!

Create a cluster of pretty patterns of all shapes and sizes for a focal point on your layout! 

I sprinkled in some ephemera, puffy stickers, and word stickers too. It's kind of funky and crazy and I love it that way!

I added a little bit to the side of the photos for a little bit of balance and you can see that I added some hand-stitching in a few places as well.

I added my journaling using my typewriter. I thought it was important to use a simple font that wouldn't compete with all of the papery goodness going on. ;)

I hope that you'll take all of your ripped, punched, torn, and tiny little bits of gorgeous paper and make something beautiful!

May Guest Designer | Jen Schow

Hey there! It's Jen Schow and I am super excited to be the guest designer for the very first Fairytale Club kit, Girly and Strong! I started scrapbooking when I was twelve and never looked back. I love pretty papers, lots of florals, and telling stories that matter. Now you can find me blogging (sometimes) at www.craftyjenschow.com and can find links to where I am on the internets from there. ;)

So. Now to the pretty papers and stories! I love the theme this month and find myself wanting to tell lots of stories about strength and courage and bravery lately. I chose a photo of my daughter and I right before a tough time.

I decided to use just the papers included in the personal size planner kit and I love that they don't come with the holes punched because they work great on layouts! 

I used the page with the quote as a feature and it fits perfectly with my story. Love that. Each planner page is double sided, so I flipped another one over and used it as a layer behind my photo.

 

I used a combination of die cuts and stickers for my "Brave" title. Love, love the gold accents on them!

I scattered some hearts and sequins diagonally on the page + some gold mist to finish it off! I love how simply this layout came together using the planner pages. You can see the process in my video below!

Thanks so much for letting me share and I'll be back a few more times this month with additional projects!

My Girl

Hello everyone ! It's Mindi here with you today. I am so excited to be sharing some pocket pages that I have created for my daughters album using the May kits' "Girly and Strong" collection for The Fairytale Club. I am an exclusive pocket page scrapper and love to fill up ALL the pockets. 

Back in March my husband traveled with my daughters school class for a field trip. Afterwards they stopped off at the beach for a visit. My husband captured some great photos of my daughter Maddie. I thought that I would use those photos for today's project. She loves all things pink, purses, stuffed animals, and has such a strong personality. 

Let's get started, shall we?! This first spread has some photos and also a little bit about their day. 

This big photo was my favorite one of the day. I decided to go big and print it out 6x8. The gold puffy stickers are one of my favorite things of the Girly and Strong kit. I used the word love and added some other embellishments around. Here is a close up for you.

I really had fun using these sequins that come in the "happily ever after kit" around my pages as little embellishments. Plus they are a great way to add a little bit of glitter and pizazz! 

The other side has a 3x4 pocket page so that I could add more photos and cards from the cut apart sheet. 

On the bottom row I added another photo and this great pink #Girl card. I added a stamp onto the filler card and then added one of the hearts for an embellishments. 

Next up is another spread from this same day. More photos of Maddie and more words about their adventure. 

I really loved the patterened paper that comes with the kit. I wanted to use some among my pocket pages. I decided to try my hand at a traditional page. Even though it is in a smaller scale and not 12x12, it was kind of hard and different. I took 2 strips of the patterened papers and then layered a photo on top. My photo is a 3x4 size. 

I added some embellishments here and there on this page and kept it it quite simple.

The other side has a smaller photo on the top and then a journaling card. I used the dark red colored card that says Friday on the top.

The last photo is one of both of their feet in the water. I added a line of journaling underneath the word #US. I used the # that came in the embellishment ephemera pack and then added some white letters. And of course I added some more sequins.

Okay everybody. That is it for me. I had so much fun putting these pages together. Have a fabulous day !
