Sherie from Scrapbook Supplies Online sent me the Serendipity collection from Basic Grey to play with this month, and have I ever been having fun with it! This collection seems to have been a limited release line and I hadn’t seen it in person before, so I was amazed at how it combines both rich and subtle colours and patterns. I had the paper pad, the the small alphabet stickers, the cardstock stickers, and the “Pins and Tags” embellishment pack to work with, and the only thing I used from my own stash were a few punches, my Cameo, and my markers (can’t live without my markers, after all!). Here’s what I came up with:

| Loving all these patterns! |
This layout really demonstrates how much fun you can have with only a few supplies, and also how central paper really is to this craft! Although sometimes we get caught up in the baubles and knick-knacks we can attach to our layouts, it’s nice to just sit and have fun with paper!
I created that scalloped circle title embellishment using my cameo to cut the shape, and then by layering lots of Basic Grey stickers from the collection. Topped it off with a punched heart- so simple and fun!
Outlining is my go-to technique for bringing lots of different patterns together for a cohesive look.
I added the machine sewing (on the title), the staple (also by the title), and the stick pins (shown here) as some non-paper elements to add a bit of interest to this layout.
Did I mention that this is a FUN collection to work with? I can’t wait to get working on another Serendipity layout!
