Dance Layouts

I got a couple more dance layouts done over the last couple of weeks. Scrap a Sketch released 7 sketches at the beginning of the month for International Scrapbooking Day and I have used two of them so far. 

First, I used Scrap the Rainbow #2:

Part of the challenge was to use mostly blue on the layout. I started by finding some blue papers to go with my photos. I then cut them into strips and laid them across my background. Instead of a heart, I cut a wheel shape to suggest a ferris wheel. I cut the title using my Cricut. I then embellished my page with some foam stickers, puffy stickers and regular stickers. I felt like the title needed a little something to ground it, so I added the strip of washi tape. I finished off the layout with some gold liquid pearls on the wheel to suggest the lights you see on a ferris wheel.

Next, I used Scrap the Rainbow #4:

This one ended up being pretty loosely based on the sketch. I started by creating a background on this paper with a resist design, by using the packaging technique to add greens (the color to use for this challenge) to the page. I then laid out the photos in a similar shape to the ones on the sketch, but they are much bigger, so I only made two lines of stitching with my sewing machine. I cut the title with my Cricut and used a journaling spot for the rest of the info. To embellish the page, I found these two Grungeboard hinges and painted them black. I adhered them in the corners and added silver brads to the holes. This was a pretty simple layout, but I love how it turned out!
