Breathe It In

Torn Paper Motif

Hi everyone! I know I just posted but I was feeling inspired so I created another layout back to back. The photo I used was from my 2018 trip to Iceland. I still have so many photos from that trip left to scrapbook! This photo was taken on the side of the road during the long drive from the airport to Skógafoss where we were staying nearby. The rocky terrain was covered with the thickest moss I had ever seen and the green carpet was endless, covering almost everything. It was such a unique landscape. I had brought along some fancy-ish dresses with the sole intent of taking some pretty photos so I changed in the car and got some amazing pictures.

I started with an old piece of mixed media print paper that already had a lot of interesting visual elements. I layered over some kraft, red and black solid paper because I felt any additional patterns would be too much and make the layout too busy. I used a mini banner by MAMBI that happened to have golden polka dots that perfectly matched my page. I used small gold alpha stickers from American Craft’s Journal Studio sticker book to make my title.

This page was created for the Kraft + March challenge where the theme is torn paper! Not only did my background paper have the image of torn paper printed on it, I added more torn paper around the edges of my photos and at the corners of my layout. The edges of the washi tape I used is torn too.

This page was also created for Scrap Our Stash’s sketch challenge. I used one large photo instead of four smaller ones and downsized by tag on the left. The washi tape I used is from a ten piece set I bout from The Washi Tape Shop.

That’s all for now. I’ll see you back here in April!
