A Day at the Museum

Hello, I have another new layout to share today! I started with the new October sketch from Rochelle Spears:

I used the sketch for the left hand page of this two page layout. I also used papers and elements from the September Scrap Room kit. The fun, bright colors and patterns went so well with my photos. To connect my two pages, I layered some of the patterned papers under my group of photos on the right page. For my title, I used a combination of tiny letter stickers and green foam Thickers. To add some texture to my page, I used a canvas piece that I spread molding paste through a mask onto. Once that was dry, I colored the whole thing with Abandoned Coral Distress Stain. I punched a hole and strung a scrap of ribbon through it. Since these photos are from three different museums, I used three journaling stickers so I could say a little about each place next to the photos from there. To embellish the page, I used die cuts and foam stickers that were included in the kit and washi tape and stickers from my stash. 

I was inspired by the current Use Your Stuff challenge to use small type- I used the mini letter stickers for part of my title. I also completed Scrap With Stacy's tic tac toe challenge, using the center column: washi tape, flowers, and circle. 

Thanks for stopping by!

Explore Como Zoo- Stick It Down

Hello! I had time this week to get a scrapbook layout done! I started with this sketch from Stick It Down:

Since the wedge elements one the page didn't require a lot of patterned paper, I decided to use Never Grow Up since I have lots of scraps in that collection and it has fun outdoorsy/animal patterns. I started by cutting one wedge and then I used that as the template for the rest in the larger element. Then I did the same for the smaller element. The large element was too large, so I trimmed down all of the wedges until both elements comfortably fit on the page. To bring some cohesion to the pieces, I took a pen and a ruller and outlined each one, using black for the lighter patterns and white for the darker patterns. Then I added my photos. I used my Cricut to cut the word "Explore" and found some mini letter stickers for the rest of my title. I found a journaling sticker and wrote my journaling on it. To embellish the page, I used some washi tape, stickers, a canvas flair button, a puffy sticker, some phrase stamps and some Nuvo drops.
