Paper Scraps, Buttons And Washi

Hi scrappers! This This week I bring you a cozy fall page featuring a picture of my husband during a trip to the woods. This page came about because I challenged myself to pull a paper scrap out of my stash at random and create the whole page around it. After I had spread all the scraps across my coffee table, I ended up blindly picking the patterned paper with leaves on it. I can’t even remember the original page I made with the rest of the paper since I’ve had it so long.

I used some dark brown cardstock from the DCWV Neutrals stack and splattered it with some white acrylic paint. It kind of reminds me of a speckled bird egg. I arranged some solid colored paper scraps around my photo and used a Marvy Uchida corner rounder on them. I found some mushrooms and labels from Tim Holtz’s Field Notes ephemera and some wood veneer buttons to match my forest theme. I cracked open some ginkgo leaf washi tape and used a long strip down the left as well as some smaller pieces near my photo.

This page was created for Becky Fleck #306 challenge over at A Cherry on Top. I didn’t have a punch to make the notebook edge or pinking shears, but I used the corner rounder to change up my solid colored paper scraps.

This page was also made for the December Grab 5 challenge, also at A Cherry on Top.

The 5 items I picked from the list to use on my page were:

Buttons
Wood Vaneer
Tiny Tags
Circle
White Splatters

That’s all for this week. Thanks for visiting my page and I will be back soon with a new layout!
