Icy Blue With Bling

Hi scrappers! This week I’ve created a duo chrome layout in shades of light blue and white. This was actually a color a didn’t think I would have a lot of in my stash but in the end I found more than enough items to make a cohesive page. I definitely cracked open a few items I’ve had for years but never used.

I used basic white cardstock as my background and then cut a stripe of double-sided paper from the Tracy Porter collection by Colorbok. This is a collection of papers I’ve had for at lease a decade, possibly two, so every time I use one up, it’s a win! I added a thin sticker border by Me & My Big Ideas that’s also absolutely ancient. I used some old paper scraps to mat my photo and then used a smattering of blue and white embellishments to make a collage. I hand painted some chipboard photo garlands by P13 as well as some little wooden pieces so they would match my color palette. I added some stickers by The Happy Planner and some blue and white enamel dots by Altenew. The title comes from a book of rub-on quotes by DCWV, also purchased in the early 2000s and so old, the book has fallen apart!

The color palette this month came from the June challenge at White…with 1. Besides the very pretty color combo, I was also inspired to use florals, paint (on the wooden and chipboard pieces) and text like on the book spines (the definition Ruben I used for my title.) These color challenges are always so fun because I’m usually amazed how many items of a specific color I can find in my stash.

This layout was also part of a monthly scrap lift challenge over at A Cherry on Top Crafts. I lifted this particular sketch by Aztam since I liked the collage she created around the photo.
