"An Adventure Together" Layout

GlueArts Designer:  Jaime Warren

Hi everyone!  Jaime Warren here with you today to share a layout I created using some fabulous Nikki Silvis & Glue Arts products!  

Supplies:

GlueArts Glue Glider PRO+

U Cut It Foam 

 
For this layout I pulled out my trusty and well loved stencil set and put the circle stencils to work!  I loved all of the different patterned papers and I wanted to be able to incorporate several of them on my layout.  The circles were the perfect way to do just that!  I started by creating a slightly off center design with my circles and then placed my photos in the middle of those.  I started attaching the smaller circles using both the Glue Glider Pro and U Cut It Foam.

I then cut several circles in half and attached them with U Cut It Foam to the sides of the layout.  I placed my title over my photos, in the center of my main design.  I loved all of the die cut pieces so I incorporated those by trimming them down and attaching to the sides of my layout.

 
After a few splashes of mist, I used my scallop punch to punch out my border and attached using my Glue Glider Pro. 

The final result:

 
 
I hope you enjoyed my project today!  Thanks for stopping by the Glue Arts blog!!
