Good Vibes, Great Times

A Pastel Palette And Accumulated Clouds

Welcome back everyone! I tried to squeeze in one more scrapbook challenge for the month! This week’s page features my husband and I with the iconic Golden Gate bridge in the background. We we visiting family in Northern California and my husband had never seen the bridge in person! We stopped by so he could get some beautiful shots of the legendary landmark before continuing on our way.

I started with a very old piece of teal cloud paper from Paper House. I couldn’t even make a guess at what year I bought it, but it found a perfect home on this page. I double matted it with orchid and aqua cardstock from AC Cardstock’s Spring pack. It looks really nice but made the page so thick that the hand sewing I did later proved pretty difficult. I matted my photo with paper scraps and some pale pink paper from Artsy Collages’ Textured paper book. (Pretty sure this company doesn’t exist anymore but i probably bought this book in 2005.)

I really love how the dual tags came out on this page. I used some basic white tags by Paper Studio and assorted wash tapes and a bujo pad to decorate. See products below:

I used an item I have never used on a previous page and I’m not even sure how this item made its way into my stash. I used a transparent overlay by Colorbok and then layers one of the tags and some stickers from my Happy Planner Colorful Boxes book, Shimelle sticker book, and Paper Studio Bottle Cap sticker book. I also painted some small wooded embellishments with acrylic paint so they matched the color theme. The speech bubble sticker worked so perfectly with the little wooden couple!

This page was created for the 123 Challenge Blog Facebook Group. Their sketch for the month is so cute! Instead of flowers, I used a variety of other embellishments, but replicated the large heart by making a template from some printer paper and then stitching the outline with four colors of embroidery floss. I had four different needles threaded at once and it got a little chaotic, but I like the result much more than if I had used just one color.

I found a sticker in my stash that said “Good Vibes” and matched the color palette. The “Good Times” came from tiny pennent stickers by Hazel & Ruby.

That’s all for now. The YouTube video showing how I created this page is in the works so stay tuned!
