Step-by-Step: Automobile

I am addicted to circle punches. I only have a few but I use them on just about every layout that I create. Using my circle punches combined with the fun Rob and Bob Studios paper was a perfect way to get my circle fix for the day!

Supplies:

• pink and green cardstock
• Sherbet Dot Stripes from rob and bob studios Sherbet Paper Set (punch one 2" circle and one 1¼" circle)
• Lime Scribble Floral from rob and bob studios Sherbet Paper Set (punch one 1" circle and one 1¼" circle)
• Sherbet Girl Stripe from rob and bob studios Great Expectations Set (punch one 1" circle and one 2" circle)
• 1" Circle Punch
• 1¼" Circle Punch
• 2" Circle Punch
• Curvy Cutter by EK Success
• Doodlebug Loopy Love Cardstock Stickers
• Doodlebug Simply Sweet Cardstock Stickers
• Tim Holtz Vintage Photo Distress Ink
• EK Success Dual-Point Marker

Instructions:

1. Punch one 2" circle and cut a 7" by 5½" rectangular frame from the pink cardstock.
2. Cut one photo into a 3" circle and the other into a 3¼" circle.
3. Ink the edges of the background cardstock, the pink frame and all of the circles with the Vintage Photo Ink.
4. Adhere the pink frame onto the background cardstock 3" from the bottom and 2" from the left side of the paper.
5. Adhere each photo onto the frame, starting with the bottom photo. Make sure that the bottom of this photo slightly overlaps the bottom of the frame.
6. Starting from the left, adhere the Sherbet Dot Stripes 1¼" circle. The bottom of the circle will be 4 ½" from the bottom of the page. Leaving a ¼" space, adhere the 2" Sherbet Girl Stripe Circle. You will have to tuck this under the top of the bottom photo.
7. Adhere the Lime Scribble Floral 1" circle in between the dotted and striped circle. Make sure that the top left edge is slightly tucked under the dotted circle.
8. Adhere the 2" Sherbet Dot Stripes circle so that it is slightly under the top photo. The bottom of this circle will be 5" from the bottom of the page.
9. Leaving a ¼" space, adhere the punched 2" pink cardstock circle as shown.
10. Adhere the 1 ¼" Lime Scribble Floral circle so that it overlaps the dotted circle and the pink cardstock circle.
11. Adhere the 1" Sherbet Girl Stripe circle.
12. Adhere the title. I did a long title, mixing up medium and small letter stickers. I curved some of the title around the circles for visual interest.
13. Using the marker, write journaling on the right side of the frame.

Have fun using your circles. They are the best around! (No pun intended!)
