Celebrate Layout

Scrap our Stash January 2022 Sketch

This layout was made to match the sketch and play along with the Scrap Our Stash January sketch challenge. I chose the Basic Grey RSVP collection in my older stash and started pairing the papers. I chose the gray with dots and traced a bowl out for this larger circle. Using the numbers for the vertical part was appropriate because I wanted to scrapbook that my girlfriends and I always meet up at an Orlando restaurant for ALL of our birthdays. It's a fun place and delicious food, as you can see the bread pudding in the picture. The journal says: "Celebrating another birthday at our favorite restaurant together, it's always Tibby's (New Orlean's Restaurant)". The flags and the cupcake chipboard were all apart of this Basic Grey RSVP kit. French Vanilla Bazzill cardstock was used to mat and for the journal strips. The background is Bazzill yellow.

                                                       Scrap Our Stash Challenge Jan. 2022

THE CHALLENGE:

Create a layout using the following "recipe":

ONE word title (Germany)

TWO photos

THREE Embellishment clusters (bird on glass, banner, key with button)

FOUR Patterned Papers (Strip, floral, flower fussy cut, dot)

FIVE sequins (2 by title, 3 in corner)

I really took a long time to make this layout and was inspired by the papers in this Kaiser Craft Kit. They came with just a few papers and I immediately grabbed my scissors and started fussy cutting all of that big roses, bird, glass jar and other pieces out. The strips were the back of the black dot paper so that is why I had to add the floral piece to the side of the layout to use the stripes to make the border I used at the top. The bottom right corner is the leftover piece when you use a border punch and so I used it there. It all came together beautifully and you would never know I didn't have enough papers if I had not told you. The crochet lace is from my stash and I had never used it!!! I matched perfectly! Love when that happens! The photos are of a town called Cochem, Germany and the title is a Jolee sticker. Sequins were also added. Enjoy!
