Hello and happy Sunday!
I finally managed to get some quality scrapbook time and this is what I came up to: A sketch by Allison Cope + My Mind's Eye's papers...so much fun!
I love to find inspiration with unusual materials. Here I cut a circle from a scrapbook goodies box and added some distressing glitter:
You have to use a good amount of glue to make sure the pictures won't go anywhere in the middle of the night:
And place it on the background paper. I suggest a soft design to make the photos pop nicely:
I couldn't decide which design to use for the strips...they are all so gorgeous! So why not use them all?! The paper pack label was perfect for that!
Place the photos and the background paper on the label making sure you cover the bar-code!
I used some butterflies embellies, Basic Grey stamps (from the Porcelain collection), orange ric-rac, and my all time favourite Apron Lace punch.
The small alphas along the lines of the circle add a nice touch (no idea where they came from, Dollar Store I guess?). And the big alphas are Pink Paislee (coloured with alcohol marker to match)
Finally, the journaling. I prefer to print my journaling. I think it looks more "professional", but being that my printer in in storage I had to do it the "unprofessional" way. Ugh.
Ta-da! A quick layout using wrapping box, labels, and old embellies! Nothing goes to the garbage!
*Disclaimer* - The "Nothing goes to the garbage" motto doesn't apply to you honey. I'm still going to spring clean the garage ;-)
Have a wonderful Sunday!
