The June Fox Box is colorful and charming and full of delightful titles and embellishments to scrapbook those everyday moments that make life so special. My layout features the bold "Here and Now" title, the awesome frame Perspextives, Paper Snips, and the must-have stitches stencil from the June Fox Box Plus. Please note that I scrap 8 x 8, so products look a bit larger on my layouts.

I used the Frolic collection by Rosie's Studio, which I think is a perfect complement to the happy colors in the Fox Box. I started by adding some pink watered-down Saltwater Taffy Distress Oxide ink, using the Mini Brayer, and created four rectangular panels using different patterns from the Frolic 6 x 6 pad. I used the must-have stencil from the Fox Box Plus to create faux stitches on the rectangles. I added pink ric rac borders in a cardstock matching the pink frames, using Fox Dies #13. How awesome is the font on the title? I backed it with white cardstock to make sure it stood out from the patterned paper.

The Fox Box comes with a handful of frames and inserts. I backed the frames with white cardstock, again to make the framed elements stand out against the patterned papers. You can see the framed butterfly is an embellishment that can go inside one of the bigger frames, or it can serve as a frame by itself. I added some hearts from the Happy Hearts pack to the mint frame (I always add hearts to the layouts I give away, and the kids always have fun searching for them on the layouts). I found a black bracket Perspextive in my stash to tie in with the black title.

How sweet are these patterned clouds? They're from the Paper Snips that come in the Fox Box Plus. I fussy cut them, added some Rosie's Studio Frolic puffy heart stickers from Rosie's Studio Frolic, and then adhered them with pop dots to give the clouds dimension. The word die-cuts are also from the Frolic collection, as are the yellow door and flower diecuts.

The adorable camera and heart are from the Paper Snips in the Fox Box Plus. I love how the camera ties all the colors on my page together.

There are a handful of labels on the Paper Snips sheet, and I tucked a pretty pink one with an ampersand behind the photo (money-saving tip: I cut the label in half and saved the other half for another layout). The black smiley label created a visual triangle with the other two black elements on my page.
