Washi Tape And Paper Scrap Mash-Up

Hi everyone! It’s officially September and that means Fall is on the way here in the Northern Hemisphere. This week I bring you a layout featuring a photo taken in Yosemite Park in California. I love this photo! I was on a dance team for many years growing up and I was impressed that I can still kick this high! The skirt makes for a colorful and dramatic picture but made climbing up on this giant tree stump a little difficult.

While it looks like we are deep in the forest, we were actually within view of a gas station and a main road. No hiking required!

I started with some deep red paper from Prima Marketing’s Midnight Garden stack. It matches the skirt I was wearing but is still pretty muted, which is good because there is a lot of other stuff going on with this page. I used a mix of paper scraps and Kovano washi tapes to create a custom background. I love all the little nature details like the deer and trees and woodgrain.I tore most of the paper edges to match the Washi tape but left a few clean edges for variety.

I used some cutouts from the Tim Holtz Field Notes ephemera pack which went great with the forest theme. Some Bo Bunny Double Dot brads and a large sticker from the MAMBI Dream Seeker sticker book also made for some perfect embellishments.

This page was created the Scrap Our Stash September Scrap Lift challenge. I loved all the paper strips and turned mine horizontal since some of the washi tapes had patterns that would make more sense if displayed that way. I did end up using 5 patterned papers. Can you pick them out from the washi?

This page was also created for the Use Your Stuff Challenge. This month, it was Anything Goes! No moodboard, color palette or theme so I was free to create a page that really went with my photo.

That’s all for this week. Thank you for visiting and happy Fall!
