Creating Dynamic Circle Clusters | Eva Pizarro

Hi Pinkfresh Studio friends! It's Eva here today sharing another layout featuring the beautiful Ordinary Joys collection.

For this page, I wanted to give a new look to one of the patterned papers by cutting apart the colorful circles and rearranging the pieces into playful pinwheel shapes.

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Cut apart the colorful circles from the patterned paper, separating each pie-shaped section.
2. Arrange the circle pieces into several partial circles across your white cardstock until you're happy with the composition. 
3. Adhere the circle pieces, leaving small gaps between them. Trim a few of the wedges slightly before gluing them down to create imperfect circles with a more playful look and a greater sense of movement.
4. Mat your photo with white cardstock and place it on top of the largest circle cluster.
5. Add your title around the photo using colorful alphabet stickers.
6. Embellish each circle cluster with ephemera, puffy stickers, enamel dots, and die cuts from the Ordinary Joys collection.
7. Add two strips of green patterned paper to the sides of the layout.
8. Finish by adding a few phrase stickers and small embellishments to balance the page.

Tip: Use foam adhesive on a few of the circle pieces and embellishments to add extra depth and dimension.

I hope you enjoyed today's project and that it inspires you to try cutting apart patterned paper to create your own custom embellishments. It's a fun way to stretch your supplies and add movement to your layouts. Thanks so much for stopping by, have a great day!
