Using The Birds and the Bees Scrapbook Kit with Jen Chapin

The March Scrapbook Kit is perfect for documenting spring photos. The colors and icons just lend itself so well to it! I wanted to scrapbook this photo of my two kids riding their bikes. I printed this photo out awhile back and had it waiting for the perfect moment to scrapbook.

I started out with a base of white cardstock, then used a star punch on some strips of white as well. I adhered these to the layout, then punched patterned paper from the kit and used these in some of the negative spaces. 

I then used my sewing machine to stitch through the strips. I keep a stash of plain white tissue paper in my scrapbook stash, and that's what I used to layer behind the photo. This adds a bit of texture without competing with the soft colors in the kit. I also included a few stamps, one from the main kit and one from the add-on. 

This background was super easy and fun to create, so I hope you'll try it sometime! You can use any shape punch you'd like. Thanks for stopping by the blog today, and have a great one!
