Bees Knees by SUE CREASE
Hello,
Today over on The Mad Scrapper BlogI 'm sharing a fun layout from my recent holiday to the USA with family.
This was taken at lunch when we attended Meeker Days which is a festival of street vendors and it brings in thousands of people over the weekend who spend money in the local small shops as well as the stalls and the fairground. There is an area for live music too with shows on representing different genres.
The papers were chosen because of the chair back. A list can be found below. I took the pattern paper and gutted out the centre leaving a L shape of 1.5 inches The yellow paper I cut down to 11 inches and distressed the edges. Then I inked randomly around the page with Spiced Marmalade Distress Ink through the GeoStar stencil, then I added the paper to the patterned background to give a finished size of 12 x 12.
I gave the photos pinkish mats to correspond with the drink. Then I added an orange strip to either side, then another pink one to the left side and another orange. To the right side I had only the orange and then a patterned one.
Here you can see the ingredients to Karen's drink (it was delicious) along with a little cluster made up with a honeycomb die cut, my last remaining lemon from a Cocoa Vanilla Studio paper and some ditsy flowers I made up.
This next photo shows the journaling and the right side cluster made with another piece of honeycomb die cut, some old 49 and Market tickets and some more of those ditsy flowers.
To finish off I added some flatback sequins, black rhinestones, oh and the little bee which Karen gave me on my last visit. I should add Karen absolutely loves Bees.
I hope you have enjoyed this layout and it inspires you to make a fun layout of an event you have attended in the past.
Stop in to see Janine and she will be able to show you collections that may match your photos or give you ideas for ephemera to use along with your papers. If you can't get to the shop then go to The Mad Scrapper and look at your leisure!
Sue.
