Hello,
Today it's my turn to share over at The Mad Scrapper Blog and I'm sharing this fun layout of my 2 crafty cousins Karen and Alyson on a great day out in Seattle recently. Whilst I was there we went to lots of places together and I called us the 3 Amigos. We always started our day with a photo and made sure to capture lots more memories
I started by taking Whatever Solid- paper 3 and a sheet of navy I cut the green down to 11 1/2 and offset it on the blue. A full list of all I've used is at the bottom of this page. I decided to use a sketch for this layout just so each holiday page wasn't looking the same. Below is the sketch and as you can see I have flipped it so I can add my photos top to bottom.
The first thing I did was to select the papers for my banners I included the 1/2 inch strips from the green but using the opposite side showing the darker green. Then I gutted the centre out of Solid-paper 2 along with some navy, cream and turquoise. Because some of my strips were not long enough I have a gap in the middle. I layed them out and chose which ones I wanted to stitch through doing so I then stuck them down.
I adhered my 3 photos to a piece of black and added foam underneath for dimension, I also pulled out some laser cut lace pieces from previous collections and tucked one along each edge just to soften it.
I pretty much followed the sketch by adding 2 clusters and a area for journaling. I also added some rub-ons about the page to fill any gaps. I have used 49andmarket and Green Tara flowers.
I typed my journaling and added it to some black making a banner edge. I have also used some Serenity chipboards about the page too.
A closer look shows extra pearls, a open leaf and puffy hearts.
The laser cut lace, banners and puffy hearts.
The 3 Amigo's I typed and added it under the luggage label. The little cameras I'm in love with and the little family label I have had as long as I've been scrapbooking which is coming up to 28 years soon.
Thanks for stopping by again today, this collection of papers are travel themed but to be honest stretch much further with their rich tones, pop in and check them out instore or go to The Mad Scrapper and see them all there.
Sue.
