Circle Circus Layout

These pages were made with one of the stamp sets that are part of the National Scrapbooking Month promotion this month. If you order this set, or any others on the list, and you can pick out a set of designer brads for free.

I really like the set, Circle Circus, a lot. Each circle can be punched out with a Stampin' Up! circle punch, which makes the set so easy to use. I used various circles from the set to make the circle collage on the bottom of the pages. I wasn't able to use all of the circles in the set, but I did use a few. I used another of the circles across the top of each page, too.

I made the flowers on the 2nd page of the layout by stamping a circle and then punching it out with the coordinating circle punch. I stamped the circles using the same color of ink as the card stock. I used the 1" circle punch on the flower petals, and the 1-1/4" circle punch on the flower center.
