First Friends

Hello! I have a couple of new layouts to share over the next couple of days using this month's challenges from Scrap Our Stash. 

Today I am sharing my layout for the first challenge of the month which was to lift this layout: 

I decided to do hearts for my layout too, but found this cut file with them in circles. I cut the file from white cardstock and then splattered coordinating colored inks on it for some texture. I used a couple of the cut out hearts to layer on top. I colored those with using a blending brush and Fossilized Amber Distress Oxide ink. I backed some of the hearts with patterned paper and let others open to allow the background to show through. I used my Cricut to cut the title from a couple of patterned papers. I also cut the word "friends from thin chipboard for dimension. I kept the journaling simple with the names of my son and his friends. I embellished the page with a ocuple of flair buttons and a "buds" rub on. I finished things off with Dirty Bronze Nuvo Drops. 

 Thanks for stopping by!
