I selected a title from the <a href="https://www.scrapshotz.com/product_p/ss-sgd21731.htm" target="_blank">foam sticker pack</a> and propped it up with some extra foam adhesive on the back. The cut file is free on the <a href="https://scrapbookandcards.com/bonus-cutting-files/" target="_blank">Scrapbooks and Cards Today blog</a>. I cut the white outline first and then erased the outline of one bunny so I was left with just the inside. I copied and pasted those two pieces 16 times and then cut out the blue paper. This was so much easier than trying to back the white frame! I suppose I could've cut the blue sheet as one piece and laid the white outline on top but I didn't want to risk the paper tearing while cutting. I had some trouble with the white paper because it wasn't thick enough. I used blade level 4, force 33 and speed 4 with overcut. It worked really nicely on the blue paper because it came off as one piece but I was able to pop each piece out without any tearing. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYYgALU0DUu3zWBXHQpqUnT99Vxj4H6PI_0ASJm4T6w_b699jDWh4CE8LWlWgfrIdUcG-rrfXJ7nKg57w4EvDbj37nr80UBn0BDw7HnOhpRHr5EkNz7RKL1QVwWWZomJ8Ohuf9JosgKkZrTBproolocV3fMKDGfXvm46v2OWBSHgEP0HcTg3vROYWxe80/s3024/springtime6a.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="3024" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYYgALU0DUu3zWBXHQpqUnT99Vxj4H6PI_0ASJm4T6w_b699jDWh4CE8LWlWgfrIdUcG-rrfXJ7nKg57w4EvDbj37nr80UBn0BDw7HnOhpRHr5EkNz7RKL1QVwWWZomJ8Ohuf9JosgKkZrTBproolocV3fMKDGfXvm46v2OWBSHgEP0HcTg3vROYWxe80/w400-h400/springtime6a.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div><br /></div>The tags are found on a cut apart paper in the paper pack.

I went with a grid pattern of small 2x3 photos centre of the spread and then used full size 4x6 photos with a bunch of embellishments as layout book ends. </div><div><br /></div><div>To start, I cut down that light pattern paper in the centre and added some journal pen stitching, some touches of stencil using Distress Ink Weather Wood, a few rub ons from my stash of 49 and Market, some Picket Fence Studios stamps and finally black splatters. I backed each of the photos with a coordinating pattern paper before adhering them down. I added a strip of another pattern (with black journalling pen stitches on the outside) to each outside edge for a little more texture. </div><div><br /></div><div>Next, I worked on the background. I started by rubbing the edges of that fantastic black/white pattern in Distress Ink, Bundled Sage and Distress Oxide, Crushed Olive. I added a few patterns behind my feature 4x6 photos before adhering them down to each side of the grid. </div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjy4ScPQJnqUzB6WO0J-Tl5lnFP_YGjiOZ0g1ag5aNYE1jPyYyPMR-62fXPSg9untHr6sQkRtQPUcIlFQCQDk5D-xTxsBc-8lNSouRSvNLHONWgfTtlerYhKD99D5hd-QMOvfS6vq0dmMleCQjHPYvgF4SXth_C2knB85_5CxYg_ki9sxug-BrtPH4VI0w/s2530/IMG_0299.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2362" data-original-width="2530" height="299" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjy4ScPQJnqUzB6WO0J-Tl5lnFP_YGjiOZ0g1ag5aNYE1jPyYyPMR-62fXPSg9untHr6sQkRtQPUcIlFQCQDk5D-xTxsBc-8lNSouRSvNLHONWgfTtlerYhKD99D5hd-QMOvfS6vq0dmMleCQjHPYvgF4SXth_C2knB85_5CxYg_ki9sxug-BrtPH4VI0w/s320/IMG_0299.jpeg" style="height: auto; max-height: 80%; max-width: 80%; width: auto;" width="320" /></a></div><div><br /></div><div>Then it was all about adding embellishments!

Are you in the mood for some green layouts? If so, I have two just for you. This is my first time using 49 and Market and it did not disappoint. The papers are thicker than any I've ever used which makes for a really strong base. I also loved the rub-ons. It is not something I've used a lot in the past, but it sure makes adding splatters precise and less messy. They also transferred very easily and they look like they are printed on the paper. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgax_WouzRkUBhMpP9hsen-5ltetB3oHGD5pXfSjM96EE5tMixcVMHBU_Ebi8QlB-2rPYBDnj39RII27LT9KeS0Yjp4tfIZx9xvqkfM97JPlkxyTSZ1W0t3GOlNL32eIyavNx2K6a2eKPWWMA17CP-b0YsnLxBhHLyaGVOnrZgAYAqQHg-4Sa6KHcf6Hcs/s3006/party%20green2SS.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3006" data-original-width="3006" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgax_WouzRkUBhMpP9hsen-5ltetB3oHGD5pXfSjM96EE5tMixcVMHBU_Ebi8QlB-2rPYBDnj39RII27LT9KeS0Yjp4tfIZx9xvqkfM97JPlkxyTSZ1W0t3GOlNL32eIyavNx2K6a2eKPWWMA17CP-b0YsnLxBhHLyaGVOnrZgAYAqQHg-4Sa6KHcf6Hcs/w400-h400/party%20green2SS.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">The collection is called '<a href="https://www.scrapshotz.com/product_p/49m-csg25026.htm" target="_blank">Colour Swatch - Grove</a>'.

I've been inspired by Scrap Shotz challenge for the month of February to get an unfinished project FINISHED! I know I'm not alone in having a pile of half finished projects that need some attention so I think this challenge is the perfect push to pick one and get it done. The first project I've chosen is my May 2019 Traveler's Notebook, which only has a few pages left to finish, one of which just happened to be a picture of my peach lemonade from Starbucks, the perfect match for the <a href="https://www.scrapshotz.com/searchresults.asp?Search=Color+Swatch+Peach&Submit=" target="_blank">49 and Market Color Swatch Peach Collection</a> that I got from Scrap Shotz! Here is what I did:</p><blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0 0 0 40px; padding: 0px;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZKf4eqG5PPKxnqUnKmexcBTTxTL4uf9M2AjuIAj-sBULT3gAjrPDDxZqGNh_j2b_6SEPKcOmdmO2SV3KG8QJdsUlPXMpxjCPn7eITQZKRyL_lE8EvV3el7S5blZNoaXfaWJz0o6M2eTh4EwujH7ipZNZGq0azi1JHS40Jk-KM9xO9DXIE8F1bXP28EO4/s1080/390c29f3-951c-4b1e-b08d-556d897d060e.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1080" height="382" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZKf4eqG5PPKxnqUnKmexcBTTxTL4uf9M2AjuIAj-sBULT3gAjrPDDxZqGNh_j2b_6SEPKcOmdmO2SV3KG8QJdsUlPXMpxjCPn7eITQZKRyL_lE8EvV3el7S5blZNoaXfaWJz0o6M2eTh4EwujH7ipZNZGq0azi1JHS40Jk-KM9xO9DXIE8F1bXP28EO4/w382-h382/390c29f3-951c-4b1e-b08d-556d897d060e.jpg" width="382" /></a></div></blockquote><br /><p>All month long I have been playing with the sketch that I created for February so I thought it would be fun to try shrinking it down to a Traveler's Notebook size for this layout. I threw in a few of my favourite techniques, as well, to ingnite some creative sparks and complete the rest of the notebook. To start I used some watered down <a href="https://www.scrapshotz.com/searchresults.asp?Search=abandoned+coral&Submit=" target="_blank">Abandoned Coral Distress Ink</a> to create splatters on my background. While that dried, I chose the cover paper from the <a href="https://www.scrapshotz.com/product_p/49m-csp24890.htm" target="_blank">Peach collection</a>, which has a small sample of each paper pattern on it. I really love using this paper in every collection to stretch my collection. I tore strips of paper from this sheet so there would be multiple patters on each strip, for my horizontal and vertical layers. This gave me a lot of colour for my layers without having to sacrifice a small strip torn off of multiple pieces of paper. The torn edges also give a lot of texture and interest without too much dimension. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxcisd6fEh9AJWq-x0OeyUxMBJ129atGXcuZE2XZaRgzhvi2z83xHcKS6dNxRdmYIUOLBE1Op0mL1b7kBnW5nr1w3uHbrJlbA7XdO-9B9enn23RShjGPoqCaRYHaxdcwqKahbQSo8J4SVGh0owA4fIoSDMSLezotAkEsBMY_06hwUF4FCo_-mvhmdPTVY/s1440/6658be72-d281-4b22-86b0-0756fcf12905.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1440" data-original-width="1440" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxcisd6fEh9AJWq-x0OeyUxMBJ129atGXcuZE2XZaRgzhvi2z83xHcKS6dNxRdmYIUOLBE1Op0mL1b7kBnW5nr1w3uHbrJlbA7XdO-9B9enn23RShjGPoqCaRYHaxdcwqKahbQSo8J4SVGh0owA4fIoSDMSLezotAkEsBMY_06hwUF4FCo_-mvhmdPTVY/s320/6658be72-d281-4b22-86b0-0756fcf12905.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7_Yip9RcNBrBe1pyRmOjzKRtK3TrGBQXxzu9lvNkGcPwRVDlyt8GlhMOHrfrF1ORvn58ipsURNytCDKo6NFmjLDxrOnvRhv2isiDLr4vaSCW_YiWGTXlpbQDHL6Mr-QLofDIOL0uI1wKwh0y4q4BFv06NPfhkv1YGnHVNdyNUzDuspdxYV-YqEEfKLOg/s1440/eb07bc69-372e-412a-8a1e-6327eaa60399.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1440" data-original-width="1440" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7_Yip9RcNBrBe1pyRmOjzKRtK3TrGBQXxzu9lvNkGcPwRVDlyt8GlhMOHrfrF1ORvn58ipsURNytCDKo6NFmjLDxrOnvRhv2isiDLr4vaSCW_YiWGTXlpbQDHL6Mr-QLofDIOL0uI1wKwh0y4q4BFv06NPfhkv1YGnHVNdyNUzDuspdxYV-YqEEfKLOg/s320/eb07bc69-372e-412a-8a1e-6327eaa60399.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><p>I layed down in strips in layers, similar to the sketch, and then added an envelope and tag from the <a href="https://www.scrapshotz.com/product_p/49m-csp24999.htm" target="_blank">Peach Envelope Bits pack</a>, and some leaves and butterflies from the <a href="https://www.scrapshotz.com/product_p/49m-csp24968.htm" target="_blank">Peach Acetate Leaves pack</a>.

I like to stick to my comfort zone to get started with finishing a project that I haven't touched for a little while, and then I can slowly build up my creative confidence with go-to techniques. For me, those include using a sketch to inspire design, using scraps, paper tearing, splatters, sequins, and sketchy borders. I try to keep it simple and use a limited amount of supplies, like a single collection. After creating this layout, I went on to finish three more and completed this project, WOOHOO!!! Please check out my <a href="https://youtube.com/@JenniferGagne" target="_blank">Youtube Channel</a> for a more detailed list of all of the unfinished projects I am working on this year, as well as the process video for this layout and a flip-through of the finished Traveler's Notebook.

So I reached for the <a href="https://www.scrapshotz.com/searchresults.asp?Search=Sugarplum&Submit=" target="_blank">Paige Evan’s, Sugarplum Wishes </a> that arrived in happy mail from Scrap Shotz and had some fun! So many bright patterns and the embellishments are such fun. </p><p><b>Go Busy or Go Home </b></p><p>For this first layout, I wanted to use all the patterns and embellishments - go all out with way too much, in a good way. A great way to keep a busy page focused is by using a single big feature - in this case I reached for a Peartree Cutfiles cutfile. The large, white cutfile on the page breaks up the busy patterns. So you can use them all but not worry about it being too much. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8OC-wphdlo1mtElUzHG-cRMUfJfCCW6DSmLgJr8LCPSSqKxc87A_EbT2EgtDUefa3ilcCVvo5PxYyIzWzUbkbhozuANQoxKuNEA7xyN2lNbQpS3s89iHrq__67CbGASmqWlppUxLWg_13vGxdWSLWlywqpnqD3on6GiEcaCPQ5bDpFlxoGboB5-QwfDA/s2051/IMG_9199.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1932" data-original-width="2051" height="301" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8OC-wphdlo1mtElUzHG-cRMUfJfCCW6DSmLgJr8LCPSSqKxc87A_EbT2EgtDUefa3ilcCVvo5PxYyIzWzUbkbhozuANQoxKuNEA7xyN2lNbQpS3s89iHrq__67CbGASmqWlppUxLWg_13vGxdWSLWlywqpnqD3on6GiEcaCPQ5bDpFlxoGboB5-QwfDA/s320/IMG_9199.jpeg" width="320" /></a></div><p>For this layout, I first backed the cutfile with a few of the fun patterns from the Collection.

I simply used a sponge dauber and Ranger Ink, Distress Ink in Barn Door, Victorian Velvet, Twisted Citron, and Pine Needles and rubbed them each in random across the stencil allowing some to blend here and there. I added a few splatters of each ink as well. To do this, smoosh some of the ink from the ink pad on some plastic and add a couple spritz of water - then flick over the page with a paint brush.

I had some travel memories of staying in the most haunted hotel In Aberdeen, Scotland which resembled the look of the building on the pattern paper. So I added some white splatters (white acrylic paint with a few spritz of water) to bring my usual grunge touch and then added my photos. They are 2x3 photos all backed with a couple of coordinating pattern papers from the collection and slightly overlapping for a layered look. I added a piece of vellum paper behind each to soften the pattern paper around the photo strip.</span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjN-HaYUnz0i7s_5l15wsU01rDNKEOhSEhWcEoXJHhXbmuWBYh7cr4c_wS0P13udnjv8cI3HqndgQnmOvOlOtnZWKu-QN3szoo45CMB6Y_NCyX5D0q1-E8RSHTIh78o7Fa-aRfLOHoQwqo12JaeW1psJGCx5fU_B9UckXY8ihvAd9yStC-BqUmbh-0HTiY/s4032/IMG_8945.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjN-HaYUnz0i7s_5l15wsU01rDNKEOhSEhWcEoXJHhXbmuWBYh7cr4c_wS0P13udnjv8cI3HqndgQnmOvOlOtnZWKu-QN3szoo45CMB6Y_NCyX5D0q1-E8RSHTIh78o7Fa-aRfLOHoQwqo12JaeW1psJGCx5fU_B9UckXY8ihvAd9yStC-BqUmbh-0HTiY/s320/IMG_8945.jpeg" width="320" /></span></a></div><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span><p class="MsoNormal" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; caret-color: rgb(49, 49, 49); color: #313131; font-size: 16px; word-spacing: 1px;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: 1rem;">Once the photos were in place, I added a cluster of the die cuts on the bottom right.

This is a great way to soften a busy pattern. Then I cut a couple of 9x8 rectangles of pattern paper which I adhered centre stage a little of centre/titled from each to make sure the patterns were both showing.

I noticed there were three journaling cards that all had similar brown paper with bits a pieces layered in behind. I added a few more to each card and added my text. The remainder of the layout has <a href="https://www.scrapshotz.com/product_p/ss-svs20728.htm" target="_blank">foam stickers</a>, <a href="https://www.scrapshotz.com/product_p/ss-svs20700.htm" target="_blank">chipboard pieces</a> and<a href="https://www.scrapshotz.com/product_p/ss-svs20731.htm" target="_blank"> brads </a>to create clusters. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZqh6IhPyoJD_OFEydzGnyT4xU_tFCWu0zKE5gYj23E7ZOdP6xjkJu5WrFvsfoFEEg2JQ3zUtal7o9vpacRhk8v5DA6oyDbYz-QLseFtiyUc42hjuSJ5sjM26nFNA7dILT-R7-HJGdm7cpTOyBC3EK52FqJkPIjFz0SRiqP73aeB_ZCkjbfYzPAry8K0M/s1514/Deck%20the%20Halls%20SS.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1512" data-original-width="1514" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZqh6IhPyoJD_OFEydzGnyT4xU_tFCWu0zKE5gYj23E7ZOdP6xjkJu5WrFvsfoFEEg2JQ3zUtal7o9vpacRhk8v5DA6oyDbYz-QLseFtiyUc42hjuSJ5sjM26nFNA7dILT-R7-HJGdm7cpTOyBC3EK52FqJkPIjFz0SRiqP73aeB_ZCkjbfYzPAry8K0M/w400-h400/Deck%20the%20Halls%20SS.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">The second layout uses one of the premade background papers. I tried to layer chipboard pieces behind the photos and in the corner clusters. The kit has an entire paper of cut apart tags from which I've used three to decorate the page. A little twine from my stash makes them look finished. My last task was to splatter black paint around the pictures. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">That is all for today.

I have two Christmas layouts today using the <b><a href="https://www.scrapshotz.com/product_p/ss-svs20700.htm" target="_blank">Simple Stories - Simple Vintage 'Tis the Season Collection</a></b>. This collection has all the Simple Stories staples - ready-to-go background papers, cut apart tags, cut apart journaling cards and patterned papers for layering. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEie7UUoTtNnlFAMGDRGrPwYwpL70tPrhpsMk3pqqpwuoZpwmvoGkL3SWaxKqFAL0-z5YhsOz7KFGiuh9dYex-l_tsCiazs4YvbV0QJU3q0qUJWNstAIWMUJJoHKciq0v2H68XKQl0FlPYFEBvAC7cuxRuVlO3KWaQd6aeXcWkMrgLC6vbKZdOIhBkixeMA/s1490/Ready%20for%20presents%20SS.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1490" data-original-width="1490" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEie7UUoTtNnlFAMGDRGrPwYwpL70tPrhpsMk3pqqpwuoZpwmvoGkL3SWaxKqFAL0-z5YhsOz7KFGiuh9dYex-l_tsCiazs4YvbV0QJU3q0qUJWNstAIWMUJJoHKciq0v2H68XKQl0FlPYFEBvAC7cuxRuVlO3KWaQd6aeXcWkMrgLC6vbKZdOIhBkixeMA/w400-h400/Ready%20for%20presents%20SS.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">The first layout uses a patterned paper as a frame. I cut out the striped paper to make an outside frame for another layout and cut a second frame from the leftover paper. I don't usually put a frame on my layouts like this, but it definitely created a look I would try again. The brown distressed papers on the left hand side are from the cut apart cards. On the right-hand side I tried to do a similar look with a different paper. I used brown ink to make it looked distressed and match the other side.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">The big floral picture is actually a<a href="https://www.scrapshotz.com/product_p/ss-svs20727.htm" target="_blank"> large piece of chipboard</a>. These are great for filling the negative space on a layout. Another feature are the <a href="https://www.scrapshotz.com/product_p/ss-svs20728.htm" target="_blank">foam stickers</a>. They were used for some of the flowers and titles to add some dimension. I also used some cardstock stickers that are in the paper kit. The final touch was to spatter some white gesso with a bit of water added to it.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgfIzLF5o2LmTe-2FuOVnRvcFRtZO7YJ4smCi-LKp-gOsINu6dK-CPmYaOrs_yTmWd4FlAA_ke-uM2Zd6OoAkXDOsyhdFk9zNE39oRYQrocRpqFBWO7zir2yKQfYCFxwHmP_KzacFYzM5CZcBgTMCXPYm3U4jpRTo6KFuX7-mvx8etkjXPhKuseaAfp83c/s1512/Stuffies%20for%20everyone%20SS.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1512" data-original-width="1512" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgfIzLF5o2LmTe-2FuOVnRvcFRtZO7YJ4smCi-LKp-gOsINu6dK-CPmYaOrs_yTmWd4FlAA_ke-uM2Zd6OoAkXDOsyhdFk9zNE39oRYQrocRpqFBWO7zir2yKQfYCFxwHmP_KzacFYzM5CZcBgTMCXPYm3U4jpRTo6KFuX7-mvx8etkjXPhKuseaAfp83c/w400-h400/Stuffies%20for%20everyone%20SS.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">My second layout uses a premade background paper. I was looking for a way to not always frame all my pictures, so I used photo corners from my stash. I also used a few doilies from my stash to add dimension. The trickiest part of the layout was to try to get the lantern as part of the image cluster on the bottom right. First, I fussy cut it from a different paper, then I cut through the background paper and tucked the lantern behind the white flower. The stickers are a variety of cardstock and foam stickers and a few <a href="https://www.scrapshotz.com/product_p/ss-svs20731.htm" target="_blank">foam-backed brads</a>. Lastly, I splattered some watered down white gesso. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">That's all for today, but I'll be back on Wednesday with two more layouts!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhG6lZBZ1Gh0UsUstf8h-RiFiq_eu-JIfcv5y4UCHJe0megY49US3zCkZyVd-XPkbXV7XXBx9xohtE3RPDQlWn2N8-I_QebEVHsCZgJ93SIO-BH1kEafTGQZM50mz3-PYDBZPpH1HEz9r9kIxnhjWaN5gGC-AD2KHVOuxARkI-RHFaC0XHS_e-RiDXAW6o/s960/scrap%20shotz%20photo.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="960" data-original-width="960" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhG6lZBZ1Gh0UsUstf8h-RiFiq_eu-JIfcv5y4UCHJe0megY49US3zCkZyVd-XPkbXV7XXBx9xohtE3RPDQlWn2N8-I_QebEVHsCZgJ93SIO-BH1kEafTGQZM50mz3-PYDBZPpH1HEz9r9kIxnhjWaN5gGC-AD2KHVOuxARkI-RHFaC0XHS_e-RiDXAW6o/w200-h200/scrap%20shotz%20photo.jpg" width="200" /></a></div>Carolyn Johnsonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03633458755464454449noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6928260704025276042.post-27099678907579972142023-11-25T09:10:00.000-07:002023-11-25T09:10:23.146-07:00Travel Memories with Mintay Papers<p class="MsoNormal" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; caret-color: rgb(49, 49, 49); color: #313131; font-family: -apple-system, HelveticaNeue; font-size: 16px; word-spacing: 1px;"><span data-originalcomputedfontsize="16" data-removefontsize="true" lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 1rem;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 1rem; text-align: left;">Have you had the chance to get your scrappy hands on a </span><a href="https://www.scrapshotz.com/searchresults.asp?Search=Mintay&Submit=" style="font-size: 1rem; text-align: left;" target="_blank">Mintay Papers</a><span style="font-size: 1rem; text-align: left;"> collections lately?

Maybe. I knew with such a bold background I would have to create a design that helped bring focus to my photos. This is where circles can do the work for you.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; caret-color: rgb(49, 49, 49); color: #313131; font-family: -apple-system, HelveticaNeue; font-size: 16px; word-spacing: 1px;"><span data-originalcomputedfontsize="16" data-removefontsize="true" lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 1rem;">I cut 4 large circle outlines about 10 inches wide, 2 in white to pop a little and 2 in another pattern from the collection. I placed these centre stage on the page, then used the circles not only to bring focus to the centre where my photos would be but also as an anchor. Any other embellishments, photos, etc. could all be placed along the circle.<u></u><u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; caret-color: rgb(49, 49, 49); color: #313131; font-family: -apple-system, HelveticaNeue; font-size: 16px; word-spacing: 1px;"><span data-originalcomputedfontsize="16" data-removefontsize="true" lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 1rem;">I focused on a large photo with a smaller to compliment. I backed both in white to match the white circle, added a few layers of coordinator pattern paper behind and popped them up on foam dots. From there I add a few die cuts to the left and the right of the photos. Inspired by the circles, I tucked in that fantastic chippies globe on the left. For balance I added a couple of chippies words on the right as my title. </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; caret-color: rgb(49, 49, 49); color: #313131; font-family: -apple-system, HelveticaNeue; font-size: 16px; word-spacing: 1px;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjilvdzuVL1DBlSkpYyOorV6WI9XDpZ3khW9zDpI3UdIMzOHgsZSTx7Izf9Eq-0qXdTemZZR8OeQ0cV2lswX_LnAi7Ipoxh6Iw75-GSXRQwu34CYY7W0MY7T4QHcgSB6SFkBLIchEqB6CqH5d50ueVZ32Y5Dh4fmbt-aOd2Im8hP6et7bIzrCZdU65YX0k/s4032/IMG_8954.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjilvdzuVL1DBlSkpYyOorV6WI9XDpZ3khW9zDpI3UdIMzOHgsZSTx7Izf9Eq-0qXdTemZZR8OeQ0cV2lswX_LnAi7Ipoxh6Iw75-GSXRQwu34CYY7W0MY7T4QHcgSB6SFkBLIchEqB6CqH5d50ueVZ32Y5Dh4fmbt-aOd2Im8hP6et7bIzrCZdU65YX0k/s320/IMG_8954.jpeg" width="320" /></a></div><span style="font-size: 1rem;"><p class="MsoNormal" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; caret-color: rgb(49, 49, 49); color: #313131; font-family: -apple-system, HelveticaNeue; font-size: 16px; word-spacing: 1px;"><span style="font-size: 1rem;">Finally for the ‘design rule of three’ I added a small die cut with chippies cluster at the top right.</span><span style="font-size: 1rem;"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; caret-color: rgb(49, 49, 49); color: #313131; font-family: -apple-system, HelveticaNeue; font-size: 16px; word-spacing: 1px;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQOMrqGXY3B2aCobatQ9_8oJkLqCpNVbnwlYXoAT7OoUjONFPGXiuvedtSEgXsrhOWfBZ3PjS48b2tBUjATSbo6hMqKxdZljMgZ2X2guZJo2xDkg-9KucHqcu2NT4lUs8pvD0Y8wbxBdoi_ou0qEDL1Kw3SQbUeoGSje83oVcmB-G4eNdZbk6arg8_1F0/s4032/IMG_8953.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQOMrqGXY3B2aCobatQ9_8oJkLqCpNVbnwlYXoAT7OoUjONFPGXiuvedtSEgXsrhOWfBZ3PjS48b2tBUjATSbo6hMqKxdZljMgZ2X2guZJo2xDkg-9KucHqcu2NT4lUs8pvD0Y8wbxBdoi_ou0qEDL1Kw3SQbUeoGSje83oVcmB-G4eNdZbk6arg8_1F0/s320/IMG_8953.jpeg" width="320" /></a></div><span style="font-size: 1rem;"><p class="MsoNormal" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; caret-color: rgb(49, 49, 49); color: #313131; font-family: -apple-system, HelveticaNeue; font-size: 16px; word-spacing: 1px;"><span style="font-size: 1rem;">To finish it off I added made some “enamel dots” using <a href="https://www.scrapshotz.com/searchresults.asp?Search=Nuvo+Crystal+drops&Submit=" target="_blank">Nuvo Crystal Drops</a>. HOW TO: a tiny little drop from the bottle on the page. When it looks like a soft ice cream cone shape do not worry. Gently pick up the page and flick the underside where the dot is with your finger – it will flatten out. The bigger the dot you drop then flick, the larger your “enamel dot” will be. Do I have Nuvo Crystal Drops in EVERY colour for this reason, oh yes I do.</span></p></span><p></p></span><p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; caret-color: rgb(49, 49, 49); color: #313131; font-family: -apple-system, HelveticaNeue; font-size: 16px; word-spacing: 1px;"><b><span data-originalcomputedfontsize="16" data-removefontsize="true" lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 1rem;">Use Triangles to Create Focus<u></u><u></u></span></b></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; caret-color: rgb(49, 49, 49); color: #313131; font-family: -apple-system, HelveticaNeue; font-size: 16px; word-spacing: 1px;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEik8IbQI5NB3tW5SgiQz6EbHARCzcJjayNg-y6SZPOXF2G-IQe_eFZnKUHN5UvC-tZlxwEHOhZstO0jLzQEyjq3O0Oq-tLz1nLalx_Egy1R9HEfYQqJdd751fgzuC_NDFulbvQdKPA0d_NTrYt8wZXUInvukMtP0lISo0pRNRdPqq0kvzLJmt9Wc8d4FfM/s2382/IMG_8962.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2148" data-original-width="2382" height="289" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEik8IbQI5NB3tW5SgiQz6EbHARCzcJjayNg-y6SZPOXF2G-IQe_eFZnKUHN5UvC-tZlxwEHOhZstO0jLzQEyjq3O0Oq-tLz1nLalx_Egy1R9HEfYQqJdd751fgzuC_NDFulbvQdKPA0d_NTrYt8wZXUInvukMtP0lISo0pRNRdPqq0kvzLJmt9Wc8d4FfM/s320/IMG_8962.jpeg" width="320" /></a></div><span style="font-size: 1rem;"><p class="MsoNormal" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; caret-color: rgb(49, 49, 49); color: #313131; font-family: -apple-system, HelveticaNeue; font-size: 16px; word-spacing: 1px;"><span style="font-size: 1rem;">Another design I go for quite often to create focus is a triangle.</span></p></span><p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; caret-color: rgb(49, 49, 49); color: #313131; font-family: -apple-system, HelveticaNeue; font-size: 16px; word-spacing: 1px;"><span data-originalcomputedfontsize="16" data-removefontsize="true" lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 1rem;">HOW TO: Simply take a background paper and cut it into a large triangle. Then you either put it on the top of the page to point down to your photos OR on the bottom to point up to your photos. Often I will use the ‘from the top’ look when it’s a picture of people, but the ‘from the bottom’ when its landscape, hiking, mountains, etc. I also usually cover the point of the triangle, sometimes make it a little off centre and use a multi layered triangle to show off more patterns. Also, if you have a really busy background paper a plainer patterned triangle can calm down the page (like I did here) OR if you have a really plain background and busy pattern triangle can add some pizazz!<u></u><u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; caret-color: rgb(49, 49, 49); color: #313131; font-family: -apple-system, HelveticaNeue; font-size: 16px; word-spacing: 1px;"><span data-originalcomputedfontsize="16" data-removefontsize="true" lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 1rem;">For my background, I reached for that amazing floral pattern which is a little busy so I created my triangles use the simpler patterns in the collection. The point is a little off centre and I used 2 layers – seems I was looking for anyway to use that brick wall paper again. <u></u><u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; caret-color: rgb(49, 49, 49); color: #313131; font-family: -apple-system, HelveticaNeue; font-size: 16px; word-spacing: 1px;"><span data-originalcomputedfontsize="16" data-removefontsize="true" lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 1rem;">Once the triangle was on the page, I added my photo first backed with white paper then some patterns from the collection and popped up on foam dots. Then it was just a matter of tucking and layering the die cuts from the collection to the left and right of the photo, and I dropped in a few of the chipboards as well. Similar to the page above, I added some Nuvo Crystal Drop “enamel dots”. Voila.<u></u><u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; caret-color: rgb(49, 49, 49); color: #313131; font-family: -apple-system, HelveticaNeue; font-size: 16px; word-spacing: 1px;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTw18RmqGgVwjeUn638gveJjzN-ZOWfUz1zEcAAe-mBoCz0mK8Ej4grEoYOqBK3tPV5AOHamFcUOzeHEAt9Rl3i6FJ55YNytL9Zg3d9p5peNgV4MzYSHc-XCkPzjEHMPuNKPc4H8QRtyp7nV7UpLfULFVuvcBz3I6CaIxvjvS4fIHpGbSb84ePC2w7Nos/s3024/IMG_8942.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="3024" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTw18RmqGgVwjeUn638gveJjzN-ZOWfUz1zEcAAe-mBoCz0mK8Ej4grEoYOqBK3tPV5AOHamFcUOzeHEAt9Rl3i6FJ55YNytL9Zg3d9p5peNgV4MzYSHc-XCkPzjEHMPuNKPc4H8QRtyp7nV7UpLfULFVuvcBz3I6CaIxvjvS4fIHpGbSb84ePC2w7Nos/s320/IMG_8942.jpeg" width="320" /></a></div><span style="font-size: 1rem;"><p class="MsoNormal" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; caret-color: rgb(49, 49, 49); color: #313131; font-family: -apple-system, HelveticaNeue; font-size: 16px; word-spacing: 1px;"><span style="font-size: 1rem;">I will be back to share a few more pages from this collection!

I love the doodled look of the alphas and wanted to use as many as I could on a layout - so decided to use them as my background! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I prepped this pattern paper from the collection with some black splatters. I also added a few random texture stamps and phrase stamps from my stash around the edges using Paper Rose Studio, Premium Dye Ink - Intense Black. This creates a sort of frame for the layout and love how it draws the eye to the middle of the page. I then used Ranger Ink, Distress Ink in Black Soot and one of my way-too-many stencils from Vicki Boutin and shaded in some colour in the middle of the page to anchor the alphas and my photos. I added a few small touches of the stencil to the edges of the page too. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihVE7yxIFp5wW-beURQN3fJuRxNykKyGdUKs-Sm3Ii-PNY_SxHlvVrX4sB4FkvsLUUC3Ofv4D-KK0ILsaoRCHK-FjHnc4MCyNnXQnC-jguSB9ar6lIkR9xgT0wFUaFGqJ33B9DILZcsdB-CNr06HfrUdiqFUolEWj-hKMLwBy6JOXU3QGGUnfI1i-8kZc/s4032/IMG_7906.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihVE7yxIFp5wW-beURQN3fJuRxNykKyGdUKs-Sm3Ii-PNY_SxHlvVrX4sB4FkvsLUUC3Ofv4D-KK0ILsaoRCHK-FjHnc4MCyNnXQnC-jguSB9ar6lIkR9xgT0wFUaFGqJ33B9DILZcsdB-CNr06HfrUdiqFUolEWj-hKMLwBy6JOXU3QGGUnfI1i-8kZc/s320/IMG_7906.jpeg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="text-align: left;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="text-align: left;">From there, I picked my favorite titles and spelt those out across the middle of the page - using a ruler to make sure they stayed straight. I wasn’t worried about covering up some the titles with my photos, that’s part of the fun. I did put the titles a little off set though and added the heart chipboards in between for a touch of colour. </span></div><div><br /></div><div>I then added two small photos, with a few collection patterns layers behind, and then just tucked and layered the florals from the <a href="https://www.scrapshotz.com/product_p/cvhdt014.htm" target="_blank">Cocoa Vanilla, Happy Days - Floral Ephemera</a> in and around the photos. My final touch was a couple little tucked tags with black/white twine and the collection die cut butterflies. </div><div><br /></div><div><b>All The Pattern Paper </b></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjKDWtU-8riC3H8anRP2bj_g_olTfOX0-fmPzBxtqezFkS-4Ojt3sfkwL-ftiAttnMsN3dwpJlIFtqLuZ6rVV3wYhEBjMWDwZvgE8KCdd2cYHaG-77NaIDipetjEyMe4xhCu6NS8Nqc-REN1y5Dro4oMqvBtixG11kXUf1Bgz0_vl__4yPM_EYRLvU_gHY/s2665/IMG_7921.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2584" data-original-width="2665" height="310" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjKDWtU-8riC3H8anRP2bj_g_olTfOX0-fmPzBxtqezFkS-4Ojt3sfkwL-ftiAttnMsN3dwpJlIFtqLuZ6rVV3wYhEBjMWDwZvgE8KCdd2cYHaG-77NaIDipetjEyMe4xhCu6NS8Nqc-REN1y5Dro4oMqvBtixG11kXUf1Bgz0_vl__4yPM_EYRLvU_gHY/s320/IMG_7921.jpeg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">For my next magic trick (ha ha), I reached for every single pattern in the collection - they are all so pretty! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">First, I had to create my background. I cut down a 12x12 piece of cardstock to 11.75x11.75 and backed it with the cut apart pattern paper. I like how the cut apart has so many different colours and patterns making the edge of a layout a lot of fun. I used Ranger Ink, Distress Ink in Black Soot and a paw print from Peartree Cutfiles to add some paws to the background, and matched some Distress Inks to the Happy Days collection to add some small splatters around the paws. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Now let’s get to the pattern paper! First I cut 3 pattern pieces in about 6.5 wide and 9.5 high; used a white journal pen to quickly and messily outline the edge then layered and titled them so just edges of each were peeking out and dropped those in the middle of the page. I reached for my 4 photos and added a layer or two of pattern behind each - also tilted and outlined in a white journal pen. I dropped those down on the larger pattern a little messy too but generally in a grid pattern. No straight lines on my layouts. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhEEAA_ghBW7Fwi-b1MFqKIqGqgeo7mk1fzBm0IoSd-fP6I2OpMDYIiVyNR0YtQhSifLKOL1Qo1YUTD0qZ0wwqtB-vsVazCMJDW4IygY6aj_PmmuwjCgY1JwDXXfwK_hyphenhyphen3tXfJlG-AEIZNCX4qvjUo_t8adJolXdd8M8QUYGANDV0GvR6hEoN8L4rGb6jU/s4032/IMG_7901.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhEEAA_ghBW7Fwi-b1MFqKIqGqgeo7mk1fzBm0IoSd-fP6I2OpMDYIiVyNR0YtQhSifLKOL1Qo1YUTD0qZ0wwqtB-vsVazCMJDW4IygY6aj_PmmuwjCgY1JwDXXfwK_hyphenhyphen3tXfJlG-AEIZNCX4qvjUo_t8adJolXdd8M8QUYGANDV0GvR6hEoN8L4rGb6jU/s320/IMG_7901.jpeg" width="320" /></a></div><div><br /></div>For the final touch, I cut a few thin circles from the pattern paper and tucked them behind the top right and left bottom corner photos.

Today I have two scrapbook layouts featuring the <a href="https://www.scrapshotz.com/product_p/ss-ere19800.htm" target="_blank">Simple Stories "Here and There" Collection.</a></p><p>If you did any traveling recently, this will be the collection for you! The main colours are dark blue, dark orange and pink. They really make light and bright pictures jump off the page. The <a href="https://www.scrapshotz.com/product_p/ss-ere19800.htm" target="_blank">shop</a> has the kit and many embellishments available.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEibimcaWioSg6Hhgi8dcipq0Q53IKq3uVSngG1KwamW-Zy2TyJOz4vqfIk87OXnDgYBFjcQ9nkPjamY-098h2f5tsi_OPfseTO43yOh7kKB3dGy4wXeou4W1qy-7Pq6sWGlwwvzXvvx1gNv_4JSj0kJEjrv9GKd9JZKl8TQsn3VLt2m_NCSabMxwXzAY50/s1493/journeySS.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1493" data-original-width="1493" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEibimcaWioSg6Hhgi8dcipq0Q53IKq3uVSngG1KwamW-Zy2TyJOz4vqfIk87OXnDgYBFjcQ9nkPjamY-098h2f5tsi_OPfseTO43yOh7kKB3dGy4wXeou4W1qy-7Pq6sWGlwwvzXvvx1gNv_4JSj0kJEjrv9GKd9JZKl8TQsn3VLt2m_NCSabMxwXzAY50/w400-h400/journeySS.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><p>The first layout was inspired by the September challenge sketch in the <a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/511069552906536" target="_blank">Scrap Shotz Facebook group</a>. I tend to have a hard time leaving white space on a page so this sketch was good for forcing me to use only one corner of the paper. </p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEii18fKeu-XSAsOSoeFYS7Lumq7DnH-OSkA2zFMgxgnZq2RGj1sHafd-ePdkMEsMqVEpFTe_xJa1GF6fY_yFOWGwweKibwU4ODZBocSxdEgrUzOrDk9QY90dfxR3ugprqcciC9azpuNYPiaVRUdlLXQvY1y3zDW3MCIGLQ3sWeoX5ZSlm00J5gDDiNsuBA" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="2048" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEii18fKeu-XSAsOSoeFYS7Lumq7DnH-OSkA2zFMgxgnZq2RGj1sHafd-ePdkMEsMqVEpFTe_xJa1GF6fY_yFOWGwweKibwU4ODZBocSxdEgrUzOrDk9QY90dfxR3ugprqcciC9azpuNYPiaVRUdlLXQvY1y3zDW3MCIGLQ3sWeoX5ZSlm00J5gDDiNsuBA=w400-h400" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">To start, I double matted my photo. Then I cut some strips of paper and used a cardstock sticker for the strips at the bottom. The diagonal paper came in the kit but I added a piece of ribbon for dimension. The flowers are fussy cut from one of the papers. The rest of the embellishments are <a href="https://www.scrapshotz.com/product_p/ss-ere19816.htm" target="_blank">chipboard stickers</a> or <a href="https://www.scrapshotz.com/product_p/ss-ere19801.htm" target="_blank">cardstock stickers</a>. The final touch was to use a white pen to journal and then splatter some gesso.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjoLzNGa2nhGGvbReIa8NleuKTzjR-Ctg5rDr6y0YMCw2nX14i6_pXcOaWrxS_cnd4NUDt0r_M7RfTERCcNMS-nIt8mcCFd9ugntyTmtW_oJf8fSazat8oI7Lv8-GwldcMPr-Ecv_RmdlUqAQ-jXDVhQQj0ZFIwFszKRxfj0_gd214UByB_R1EgOjPAPJ0/s1500/adventureSS.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1500" data-original-width="1496" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjoLzNGa2nhGGvbReIa8NleuKTzjR-Ctg5rDr6y0YMCw2nX14i6_pXcOaWrxS_cnd4NUDt0r_M7RfTERCcNMS-nIt8mcCFd9ugntyTmtW_oJf8fSazat8oI7Lv8-GwldcMPr-Ecv_RmdlUqAQ-jXDVhQQj0ZFIwFszKRxfj0_gd214UByB_R1EgOjPAPJ0/w399-h400/adventureSS.jpg" width="399" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">My next layout was built around the title. I used my Silhouette Cameo to weld together the letters from the font. I backed each letter with a different colour from the striped paper in the kit. It always takes me so long to do but it was worth it. This page has more cardstock stickers for embellishments. I kind of cheated with the photo matting and just put strips of paper down the sides of the photos. Overall, I'm glad I got three more large pictures from our Wisconsin Dells trip on a layout!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">That's all for today.

I love a good sweater and a warm pumpkin spice latte as much as the next crafty gal but I would also take another month of summer if someone asked me. So I have decided that playing with the <a href="https://www.scrapshotz.com/searchresults.asp?Search=Happy+days&Submit=" target="_blank">Cocoa Vanilla Studio, Happy Days</a> goodies from the Scrap Shotz shop will keep summer alive in my scrappy space. </div></div><p></p><p>I love the happy theme of this collection - sunshine, rainbows and happiness! The classic goodness of a Cocoa Vanilla Studio collection. For the layouts below I had the following goodies on my desk: <a href="https://www.scrapshotz.com/product_p/cv-hd010.htm" target="_blank">Happy Days Collection Pack</a>, <a href="https://www.scrapshotz.com/product_p/cvhdt016.htm" target="_blank">Happy Days Title Stickers</a>, <a href="https://www.scrapshotz.com/product_p/cvhdt013.htm" target="_blank">Happy Days Ephemera</a>, and <a href="https://www.scrapshotz.com/product_p/cvhdt014.htm" target="_blank">Happy Days Floral Ephemera</a>. </p><p>Ok here is the fun I had ;) </p><p><b>September Sketch Challenge </b></p><p>For my first layout I played with our September Sketch Challenge. I love the sketch’s focus on the lower right of the page but also the touch of design across the bottom. So classy. </p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6UDuxkpwRhJ7GHCatGIcv2ux12_Ip9nH6kLZ5lmISMsJmRgKxKaabJFZWeVsyW3LWADrEuj_HIRQ4xGRKeHG1AVdGLei7gKrvx0QAC4fN1SRUkG_Go5kN9LRgC-hUPSolhxQkv_Enit6ApFYRZUGyaJAU2vhovBo6NLK5gZIrm7uicFDSFLGqv_xqo-k/s2048/IMG_7865.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="2048" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6UDuxkpwRhJ7GHCatGIcv2ux12_Ip9nH6kLZ5lmISMsJmRgKxKaabJFZWeVsyW3LWADrEuj_HIRQ4xGRKeHG1AVdGLei7gKrvx0QAC4fN1SRUkG_Go5kN9LRgC-hUPSolhxQkv_Enit6ApFYRZUGyaJAU2vhovBo6NLK5gZIrm7uicFDSFLGqv_xqo-k/s320/IMG_7865.jpeg" width="320" /></a></div><br />This sketch design gave me a perfect opportunity to use this word pattern background - I knew the busy pattern wouldn’t steal the show with a single focal point on the lower right. Instead of the straight lines of the sketch, I let the rainbow curves of the Happy Days collection guide my design. <p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2JpSwk6SStDf9jZyQgqxTDl2s-mp73IA21fI7WvQTrftpGVeB6vXpBBzeFFAwNvQxD1mqzrSeNOiznn5LiCZYhe2XD31qgkFtMiNaJR2mNs2uaOtTIGztzgN5Xr6AQnuZIvK5yLXfwu71G6cFPx17OYMjofJM-bh6cLCRvEbv178o2-Zx6plZ4ScV9go/s2815/IMG_7830.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2680" data-original-width="2815" height="305" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2JpSwk6SStDf9jZyQgqxTDl2s-mp73IA21fI7WvQTrftpGVeB6vXpBBzeFFAwNvQxD1mqzrSeNOiznn5LiCZYhe2XD31qgkFtMiNaJR2mNs2uaOtTIGztzgN5Xr6AQnuZIvK5yLXfwu71G6cFPx17OYMjofJM-bh6cLCRvEbv178o2-Zx6plZ4ScV9go/s320/IMG_7830.jpeg" width="320" /></a></div><div><br /></div><p>A black and white photo made sure the ephemera really popped off the page and didn’t draw attention away from the amazing florals embellishing my photo.

So I decided to ‘grunge up’ the rainbow. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6pSK_8LQvbXIhjfwHeNHSLF4ALq9Ibj4bBdHX7Wmyu4H79xWItVN64OqsyeXORyWUMOAF9WUHnqD0UpfKiiUAr68GCZLfh56r5rQttXP6zK-lAMzAeQ5by8ETwj-Y_l5_aSdw3Q2ZYTV0n56WGGuNr66u543ID6YKxNtl7SC7nVt-4gFXJepEVTTU0Wg/s2237/IMG_7918.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2177" data-original-width="2237" height="311" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6pSK_8LQvbXIhjfwHeNHSLF4ALq9Ibj4bBdHX7Wmyu4H79xWItVN64OqsyeXORyWUMOAF9WUHnqD0UpfKiiUAr68GCZLfh56r5rQttXP6zK-lAMzAeQ5by8ETwj-Y_l5_aSdw3Q2ZYTV0n56WGGuNr66u543ID6YKxNtl7SC7nVt-4gFXJepEVTTU0Wg/s320/IMG_7918.jpeg" width="320" /></a><span style="text-align: left;"> </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I used my black journal pen to messily trace the lines between each of the rainbow colours. Then I added a few spritz of water to some <a href="https://www.scrapshotz.com/product_p/t-ncd650.htm" target="_blank">Tonic - Nuvo Crystal Drops in Black Ebony</a> and used a small paintbrush to flick some splatters on the page. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I printed my photos in 1x2 to make a wonky photo strip down the right of the page - I added at least a couple different patterns from the Collection behind each photo for some depth and contrast to the rainbow. I added the fun sketched frame from the ephemera pack to draw attention to my main photo and the flags from the pack as well in and around the others. The phrase stickers I added to bring some white to the layout so there was a place for the eye to rest on all the busy! I will add journalling in a column to the left of the photos before putting this one in my Scotland Trifect 2023 album. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><b>Inspired to Doodle</b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I had such fun with this layout! First, I took out my stash of <a href="https://www.scrapshotz.com/searchresults.asp?Search=Stamp+gang&Submit=" target="_blank">Lindy’s Stamp Gang - Magicals</a> from the shop and the striped rainbow pattern from the Collection and matched Magicals to each colour section of the stripes. Then I used the Magicals, mixed with a bit of water, and the packaging technique to splotch the colours next to the corresponding colour down the middle of a white 12x12 cardstock. I ripped the stripe pattern for the left hand side of the page. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8X31IZzH_qhGCXa7Csh-6BORMlqw8K9K5l7ljdIvDTp2cSwaIECM66HNtJ_tjyq2sVLURbhH49yk0jpR9JeslGRgVTVNcJVueSpepXZtJ3MEo-RF1uIvkXLbQ7sh3bRqOGH2QtJfprXV04IbVNCOD18Gld1exNIjOITdGQAiQMa0_BPMe1yPUGi9tcsM/s4032/IMG_7577.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8X31IZzH_qhGCXa7Csh-6BORMlqw8K9K5l7ljdIvDTp2cSwaIECM66HNtJ_tjyq2sVLURbhH49yk0jpR9JeslGRgVTVNcJVueSpepXZtJ3MEo-RF1uIvkXLbQ7sh3bRqOGH2QtJfprXV04IbVNCOD18Gld1exNIjOITdGQAiQMa0_BPMe1yPUGi9tcsM/s320/IMG_7577.jpeg" width="240" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Before adding my photos and ephemera, I used my journal pen to trace the lines between the colours on the stripes, added some black splatters and a few random stamps here and there to add to the ‘mess’. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I printed 6 photos for this layout, 2 are 2x3 as the feature photos and the other 4 are 1x2.

To make these, I literally doodled loops connected to a line on white cardstock and then fussy cut them. I like the pops of white/sketch look with all that colour. To make the florals match the doodle look a little more, I also doodled some lines on each flower. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I am off to play some more with his amazing collection, stay tuned for part 2 … </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEieaP2uXD-Jhz98sOHKP-g9Bgk6VSbnntWpycWSOsi8_GX1s1HKHsD_USphbT2T51hKIKzTX35XzqiC3vBqwlLRDeUW9HTt_BxqLuT_shFMoSDvcJ5GCGl2M7PX-hJYbGMw5ZHnuWA_bavwiFq9au-TbDbWywHBmF-7YJQO4759EdR7Faf4FYBwgpC2-bE/s2048/brande_newlook.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1537" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEieaP2uXD-Jhz98sOHKP-g9Bgk6VSbnntWpycWSOsi8_GX1s1HKHsD_USphbT2T51hKIKzTX35XzqiC3vBqwlLRDeUW9HTt_BxqLuT_shFMoSDvcJ5GCGl2M7PX-hJYbGMw5ZHnuWA_bavwiFq9au-TbDbWywHBmF-7YJQO4759EdR7Faf4FYBwgpC2-bE/s320/brande_newlook.JPG" width="240" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div>Brande Davisonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05358617140667710601noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6928260704025276042.post-91756216541654745172023-09-11T22:23:00.001-06:002023-09-11T22:47:02.371-06:0049 and Market for Travel Memories <p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div>Hi y’all!

I find myself designing a page then before adhering everything down I decide to also tuck a few film strips in behind and it’s next level! That’s what happened for this one. <div><br /></div><div>I started with the pattern paper and added a bunch of the messy rub ons, some splatters and a cluster of photos with a few embellishments was almost where I stopped .. then the film strips happened! One of each colour which then inspired the little circle chipboard embellishments to finish it off. Next level from my original vision. </div><div><br /></div><div><b>Words for the Win </b></div><div><b><br /></b></div><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijDbEMfHBozYq0xngeEiEgourBjGzsOGckBarB3Z5vw2FEB8_9uX-NnpcLm0sljyqx8VDoTsKOSwNn7seCfYaRO2QJut7biaw6u5O_bnoAI-LkbT3Ud6ihOUUb_nJqm10ZBvDWH7I82wez99fnf6nJto2Hrc2NwqKwhYGlJz46zutys1I3RyBHjetW/s2548/IMG_4488.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2548" data-original-width="2539" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijDbEMfHBozYq0xngeEiEgourBjGzsOGckBarB3Z5vw2FEB8_9uX-NnpcLm0sljyqx8VDoTsKOSwNn7seCfYaRO2QJut7biaw6u5O_bnoAI-LkbT3Ud6ihOUUb_nJqm10ZBvDWH7I82wez99fnf6nJto2Hrc2NwqKwhYGlJz46zutys1I3RyBHjetW/s320/IMG_4488.jpeg" width="319" /></a><b> </b></div><div><b><br /></b></div><div>The Vintage Artistry Everywhere Rub-Ons come with a sheet of the most fantastic travel / adventure / explore the world words. I used a bunch of them to frame my layout! I tried to make a few a little off the page and a few fully on the page - sort of mimicking a pattern paper look. </div><div><br /></div><div>Then I added some splatters and a stencil pattern with Tim Holtz Distress Ink in Unchartered Mariner. I used this colour to also inspire the embellishments - adding mostly blue touches here and there, and of course more of those amazing film strips! </div><div><br /></div><div><b>Forced Perspective </b></div><div> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZyAdTJNid68yTZmKQo6QFdJ74CwcJQhs-lQ6ssNhj5S3K1V72q0Cv2s-KIii3bJiBYs7DmMLFSu0j4t5TNCsDM-iGwOrus413E8eY0C1HBk-bKshEGlP4SVXrd41w2z4IXs4pyK8yBhAsBSXPnnM8Zoir_F2bHlHaYUYwHjolXTohFJEFEhAL3jkfJPU/s2904/IMG_4490.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2742" data-original-width="2904" height="302" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZyAdTJNid68yTZmKQo6QFdJ74CwcJQhs-lQ6ssNhj5S3K1V72q0Cv2s-KIii3bJiBYs7DmMLFSu0j4t5TNCsDM-iGwOrus413E8eY0C1HBk-bKshEGlP4SVXrd41w2z4IXs4pyK8yBhAsBSXPnnM8Zoir_F2bHlHaYUYwHjolXTohFJEFEhAL3jkfJPU/s320/IMG_4490.jpeg" width="320" /></a></div><div><br /></div><div>For this layout I was inspired by the geo tags in the 49 & Market goodies. I love that they point to where you were, where you want to go a map .. or in this case, where the eye should focus on a layout. I cut the black/white pattern paper on this layout to mimic the bottom of the geo tag that is sitting there all pretty in the middle of the page. </div><div><br /></div><div>From there, I created a cluster of small and even smaller photos, added some embellishments to connect all the photos and a few circles cut with the 49 & Market pattern papers. I repeat stamped the word happy over and over in black and coordinating Distress Inks (worn lipstick, twisted citron) behind the photo cluster. </div><div><br /></div><div>If you had the pleasure of seeing the Scrap Shotz crew at the Scrapbook Carnival in Edmonton and Calgary this year you may have seen these layouts on display. </div><div><br /></div><div>Thanks for swinging by! </div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgaiZCdFAxCi-ZSLKdr5SaYYuhZJ3Ay2aZkr5uczZlBXvB0RIjsW32FCO5rs-Gdk5C_2ERA3y_5lGVdSD0s_pg2-jXbAwINfQV5xrfD-vNaL0g4-0-7TC_OQ5O5Imp_WRiH0IorNAm_9A6G8aJvtl-npeBNJJjX3pnA40b8wZkudAlvR_Dm1soPoNs7AJ8/s2048/brande_newlook.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1537" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgaiZCdFAxCi-ZSLKdr5SaYYuhZJ3Ay2aZkr5uczZlBXvB0RIjsW32FCO5rs-Gdk5C_2ERA3y_5lGVdSD0s_pg2-jXbAwINfQV5xrfD-vNaL0g4-0-7TC_OQ5O5Imp_WRiH0IorNAm_9A6G8aJvtl-npeBNJJjX3pnA40b8wZkudAlvR_Dm1soPoNs7AJ8/s320/brande_newlook.JPG" width="240" /></a></div><br /><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div></div>Brande Davisonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05358617140667710601noreply@blogger.com1
