Celebrate Today With Naps

Primary Colors and Paper Quilting

Hello everyone! This week I take a break from pastels and florals to bring you a bright and bold look with primary colors. I used a 5 X 7 photo of my kitty Jupiter. She loves to curl up like a croissant while sleeping and I snapped this photo during one of her naps. She looks so cozy!

I started with some blue paper with a subtle pattern from The Paper Studio’s Entirely textures stack and layered some basic black cardstock over it. I then raided my paper stack for any red, blue and yellow papers I had and cut 1 1/2 inch squares. I arranged a grid of both solid and patterned pieces in sort of a paper quilt and placed my photo over the top. I used stickers by Amy Tangerine, Dear Lizzy and Shimelle along with some cute cat ephemera by Photoplay. A few brads and a bow and enamel dots by The Paper Studio make simple yet impactful embellishments. An epoxy metal clip by Simple Stories finishes the page.

This page was created for the April challenge at 1 2 3 Challenge Blog. I like the fact that this sketch gave me the opportunity to use up a lot of my little scraps by utilizing paper piecing. My guillotine cutter came in extra handy for making uniform squares. Instead of using two photos, I turned the smaller square into my title.

That’s all for now. Thank you for visiting and you can find me on YouTube and Instagram @thescrapattack as well!
