Hi Creative friends,
Gwen on the blog today excited to be here with a new share. My layout features the Daydream collection which I’ve used to document a sweet photo of my daughter on her 13th Birthday. I’m working with a black and white photo for this page so the soft colours in this collection (especially the greys and blues) were really inspiring to me.
For the background of my layout, I decided on the ‘Garden Variety‘ pattern paper. I love working with a pattern paper background and wanted something a little darker for my background on this page. I’ve decided to work with a large background style cut file and a dark pattern paper for the background will really help it pop! I’ve backed this one from CUT to YOU called ‘Triangle Pinwheel Background‘ with the ‘Daisy Days‘ paper, I love the sweet little flowers on this paper.
I’ve centred the cut file onto the background of my page and then added some machine stitching. For the embellishment clusters, I’m going with 3 clusters for this page. The main one will feature my title and will run along the left hand side, and my photo will balance that out and run along the right hand side.
Here you can see I’ve mounted my photo on foam for dimension and also added some stitching around the edge. I’ve also added stitching to the cut file design. I love adding stitching, it’s a fun little detail that gives a really sweet look to the page. You can also see here my title and largest embellishment cluster. I’ve used die cut pieces from the ‘Die Cut Ephemera‘ pack as well as stickers from the ‘Accessory Sticker Sheet’ and a sweet ‘puffy heart‘ in each cluster.
My other two embellishment clusters will be smaller and they will form a visual triangle (with my photo in the middle). They will also include elements from the Accessory Sticker Sheet and Die Cut Ephemera packs. I’ve also added in a coordinating flair from the collection.
Next, I’ve added are some fussy cut butterflies from the ‘All A Flutter‘ pattern paper. I’ve raised these on foam for dimension, they look as though they are about to fly right off the page. Lastly I’ve added a few of the typed sentiments from the ‘Accessory Sticker Sheet’ as a final touch on the page.
I’ve also made a YouTube video which you can watch here:
Thanks for popping by today, I hope you have enjoyed seeing the scrapbook process for this layout.
Until next time,
