Hello Beautiful

Florals With A Little Woodgrain

Hi scrappers! This week I created a triple photo layout featuring my cat Europa. She likes to sit on the patio sometimes and when she’s out in natural light, the colors of her eyes really pop. In this series of photos, it looks like she was posing for the camera!

I started with some double-sided Promenade paper from the Bo Bunny Brighton collection. I cut it into three sections and flipped on piece so both patterns would be displayed (a trick I have been doing a lot lately.) I glued it all down to a piece of cardstock and then used a large scrap of coral colored chevron print paper to mount my photos on. I also used a skinny scrap of green woodgrain paper as an accent on the right.

From there, I embellished with lots of stickers from the Dear Lizzy sticker book, some ephemera by Heidi Swapp and Prima Marketing, and used a piece of ephemera from the Hello Gorgeous collection by My Mind’s Eye as my title. Some Altenew enamel dots from the Fruity Colors collection matched the color palette perfectly.

I used sketch 389 from A Cherry on Top’s weekly sketch challenge. I liked the three panels making up the background because I knew that would be a good fit for my double sided paper.

This page was also created for the Counterfeit Kit August challenge. The kit chosen for this month had the color palette above. I really liked the colors and used just about all of them except black. They also had a challenge of making a layout featuring woodgrain and florals. This page is really heavy on the florals but I did incorporate a little woodgrain by using the strip of green patterned paper as well as a small pennant sticker in the lower left corner.

That wraps it up for this week. As always, there’s still so many challenges I want to participate in and not enough days in the month! I will be back soon with a new layout as soon as time permits.
