Hello,
Today you find me on The Mad Scrapper Blog with this gorgeous layout of my cousins grandson Maverick. The photographs were taken to celebrate his first birthday and of course it included a smash cake but unfortunately he didn't know what to do with it as you can see by his reaction in the tiny photos.
As soon as I saw the photographs I knew exactly which collection of papers I would use as well as a few stickers I had in my box. I also fussy cut some balloons from one of the paper sheets which I would raise off the page. I grabbed the PinkFresh Studio Be Fearless stamp set for the title which I stamped in Brushed Corduroy Distress Ink.
I started by trimming the paper to 11.5 inches and distressing the edges. I then mounted it on to blue card which I gutted out the centre so as not to waste it. Then I took the PinkFresh elevated rainbow stencil and added two panels to the paper using a selection of distress inks (listed below along with all other items used) but I forgot to take a photo until after I had added my photos 😲 so here is a little close up:
I matted the main photo on some of the saved blue then some dark gold and a stone colour. I added a little spare card for lift and tucked under some of the fussy cut balloons.
This next photo shows the title which I stacked 3 more layers under for dimension. You can see more balloons which I added above the strip of little photos.
At the bottom right of the photo I added a little play castle and a camera.
The bottom left I added a play tent sticker, another camera and a lot of little snippets of cute sentiments. The "You are Gold" is from the same set as the title.
To finish off the layout I added some pearls in browns and cream.
Thanks for stopping by today, I hope I have inspired you to create something with some of your own photographs you may have in a box or stuck on your phone somewhere. Don't forget to call in to see Janine or checkout The Mad Scrapper at your convenience.
Sue.
