Hello Everyone! My name is Sam Poole and I am so excited to share with you my May Graphics Fairy design team project.

Roll up! Roll up! The Circus is in town!

I have always wanted to create a Circus themed journal but I wanted to make this Circus all about the circuses in Paris around the 1880’s era.

My starting point for this journal was the ‘Dazzling Circus’ Bundle. The images looked quite French looking to me and I loved the bold colors of the reds and yellows. I enjoyed layering these images on various other French ephemera pieces from the ‘Mini French Ephemera’ bundle. I found a lot of the old circus photographs from the blog site and inserted (digitally) into the cabinet card frames to look like real pictures.

I was very inspired by ‘The Typesetter’ bundle which gave me some great pre made background papers to use in the journal. I also loved using the Parchment page image and used this as the backing to my journal cards to give a really authentic look.
