Hello, friends! It’s Jana Eubank here! Today I’m sharing my latest layout using the super-fun May SCT Sampler. With summer starting to make its appearance, I couldn’t resist the sunny vibe of the Vicki Boutin ‘Where to Next?’ collection featured in the kit. The minute I saw the paper with the monstera leaves, I knew I would be fussy cutting them out to use with this photo of me standing next to these enormous tropical leaves on an anniversary trip I took with my husband last year.

Supplies | May 2023 SCT Sampler; Scrapbook.com: Modern Alphabet Dies, Bold Basic Alphabet Dies; Font: Elegant Typewriter; Other: cardstock

With two vertical photos and one horizontal photo to scrapbook, I opted to place the majority of my elements in the shape of the letter ‘L’. I used two of the 6×6 papers in opposing corners of the layout, then filled in the empty spot with a smaller vertical photo and the fussy-cut monstera leaves.  

Next, I placed my title and journaling in the open, top-right corner. I used orange and yellow cardstock scraps from my stash to die-cut the title using alphabet dies by Scrapbook.com. I fussy-cut a few hearts from another 6 x 6-inch paper to accent the title, popping them up with foam tape for a hint of dimension.  

I used the orange and yellow cardstock scraps again along with the ‘So Wonderful’ die from the kit to create the phrase for the photo. The vellum shadow layer helps the phrase to stand out against the landscape snapshot. 

Strips of striped paper at both the top and bottom of the page add a splash of tropical color, as well as helping to draw the viewer’s eye through the layout design.  

I used the die-cuts, stickers, and small, fussy-cut flowers to finish off the page.

Creating this layout has me ready for all of the sunny, summer fun that is ahead in the coming season. What will YOU be creating with your May SCT Sampler this month?
