LIVE: Building a background from cut apart papers - July 2023 Best of Both Worlds Scrapbooking

Happy Friday! Let's scrapbook!

The July mini theme is TRAVEL and I'll share my projects with those supplies in separate videos this month.

AUGUST KIT NOTES: In the embellishments, I've added one set that makes these papers more travel/adventure themed, one that makes it a bit simpler and closer to home, and one that really emphasises the summer element. Choose the option that suits what you'll be scrapbooking! There are also two woodgrain alphabets and they will sell out quickly. Choose the woodgrain finish you like best.
This month's mini theme is CAMPING. You'll find the mini theme at the end of the list, and you can add that if it's something you would be scrapbooking and ignore if if it's not!

But I love Persnickety Prints when I'm organised enough to print in advance.

About the Best of Both Worlds Scrapbooking Kit:
Best of Both Worlds is not a subscription kit, but rather a kit assembled for each month that you gives you the freedom to order it through an affiliate link, use the shopping list to shop locally if you are lucky enough to have a local scrapbook store (please support them if you do!), or to shop your stash for similar items and make your own kit.

You're not tied into any subscription. You don't have to buy anything you know you won't use or duplicate anything you already own. You can add more of something you love and want to use for a bigger project. You can jump in and out as your time and budget suits. But all the while, there is the ease of a kit curated for you and accompanying videos to spark ideas for how you might put those supplies together. You can scrap along and make very similar pages or you can go totally on your own track. Everyone is welcome around here! (Well everyone except meanies. Kindness always.)

For disclosure and clarity: I choose all the items that go into the kit and I pay for my kit each month. Nothing here is sponsored and I don't accept payment to put something specific into a kit. I do use affiliate links for the kit shopping list, and the commission from those sales makes all these videos possible. And of course, this isn't just my hobby, it's my job, and that means any time I scrapbook on the internet it's considered advertising and I need to make sure you know that. Thank you for watching my advertising!

I watch a lot of scrapbooking channels and video and I can wholeheartedly say that while I love them and am inspired by them all I learn the most here.
-I’ve learned from this channel how to coordinate colors that I never knew would go so well together.
-how to embellish without over embellishing in a way that makes my eyes still focus on the photo.
- that I don’t have to use but half as much adhesive 😂
-how to bring pages and embellishments from several different collections together in a beautiful way.
-how to use all colors- even what is traditionally considered “girly” colors- to pull of a page that suit a “masculine” theme that even my boys love.
I could go on and on but what it all amounts to is that I’ve learned how stretch my stash, my supplies and it’s opened my creativity to more variety in my pages with a more beautiful outcome and I’m so grateful ❤️
Please don’t ever change your video style. I learn everything from your way of walking us through your processes and explaining you methods of thinking. It’s truly opened my crafting experience to a whole new way of crafting and creativity.

Hi from TomorrowLand. This is super pretty. I've been MIA for a few weeks as finally back at work and just been promoted to Head of Department. Thought you'd like to know as I've appreciated the kindness from the Live Crew. Oh, and thank you, @Safia Button for the book recommendation in time for Summer holidays

Haha, as the wife of a fire chief I had to check out the Holey Hose! Maybe our hot, dry Nebraska city can use these too. 😂

You could use the offcut of the rainbow from when you made them smaller and still have the card to use.
