Layouts with Cabin Fever

Hello friends! Jennifer here on the blog today to share some pages I created using the new Cabin Fever collection! The weather is getting warmer here in the US so that means getting outdoors! Where I live many people love to camp and I was excited to see this fabulous line! Truth be told, I don't love to get out there and "rough it" but definitely enjoy being among nature! Both of my kids have attended church camp during the summers just north of our city and Cabin Fever is perfect for their photos!

I used the new Geo Background (#19848) Simple Stories Silhouette Cut File as the base of my first layout "Explore". I wanted to show off the many rich patterns and colors of Cabin Fever so using a background cut file is a perfect way to do so! I honestly can't tell you which pattern is my favorite because I love them all!

The 3x4 Journaling Card Elements are perfect to add journaling or layer small embellishments around your title! I did both using pieces from the Combo Sticker Sheet as well as one of the Decorative Brads! Using pop dots or foam tape with embellishments can add some depth to your page just as I did with the fire die cut. I usually find this helps fill in space between photos and/or journaling spots.

If you don't do much pocket page scrapbooking and aren't sure what to do with the 4x6 Horizontal and Vertical Elements, they do make great layers under your photos! I like to add at least two contrasting colors to help my photo "pop"! I also have a habit of matting my picture onto white cardstock as well! What can I say? I love layers! To break up the page, I used the tartan plaid border sticker from the Combo Sticker Sheet and the "Wild and Free" Die Cut from the Bits and Pieces pack.

I love that the Decorative Brads have a multitude of sizes and shapes to choose from! Here, I paired one of the smaller brads with a larger plaid. Brads are a nice accent to bring you pages together!

For my second layout, "Camp 45", I started with kraft cardstock as my backround. Again, using my Silhouette, I cut different size circles from a few select patterns (using both sides of the page). I then layered my circles across the center of my layout and stitched through with my sewing machine. I also added strips of favorite accent prints at the top and bottom of the page (and again stitching through...I sew on everything!).

Camp 45 is the name of the camp my daughter attended that summer...it was for fourth and fifth graders and her first time being away from home for more than a night. It's only 20 min away but I may have cried when I dropped her off! Again, there is that 3x4 Journaling card! They are so nice to tuck next to your photo and add a title and a few embellishments! I used the "CAMP" from the Camping on the 6x12 Chipboard along with cutting my "45" with my Silhouette and backing with yes another 3x4 Journaling Card! :)

I punched two smaller holes at the top of my Journaling card to add brown baker's twine to the top! I thought it gave the card a little bit of dimension!

Using hand punches, I added smaller circles to the fringes of my photo as well as added die cuts and smaller Decorative Brads. Also, you can spy at the top of my photo some of the lovely Nature Hike Washi Tape!

Here, I used the remainder of my tartan plaid scallop border sticker to break up the page...you can also spy a small section on the other side of my journaling card! I love using repeating shapes on a page when you want to include lots of color and prints!

Thank you for stopping by today! I hope this inspires you to do some creating with Cabin Fever! You can check out the collection in its entirety by going to the Products Page! Have a wonderful day!
