STATEN ISLAND

Back to New York with a new layout. I've been using white cardstock a bit more lately. I'm more of a patterned paper type of girl usually but i've been wanting to use ones with such bold colors that white background are a must to bring a bit more balance. 
This one started with this large piece of multicolor paper (from October Afternoon i think). I then went to my scrap basket to find pieces in matching color. Ended up with one teal, one yellow and one pink. Perfect match to the large piece of paper. I have a ton of pictures of the statue of liberty and the New York skyline in basically every color: B&W, natural, pinkish... I eventually went with the B&W version, and added a piece of hot pink to mat the photos so they would stand out more.
Then i just added my title, playing with my alphas. And created a few clusters of embellishment. Nothing fancy, A couple gems, these gorgeous resin flowers (that are actually from my SC PL kit), this gorgeous flair (also from my PL kit) and a couple stickers. Simple simple, that's the way i like it! 
Make sure to come back tomorrow, i will share another layout, that i made the same day to go with this one. There might be a little step by step process ;)

  1. Yes, I'm doing the same thing..more white, fewer patterns. A great page to mark a really special sight: something I'd love to see myself

  5. great layout and you've inspired me to revisit my travel photos. Sometimes I don't go for them because of how long has passed but that is silly. I think I'll find one and make it all purty! I love the colors you chose here, btw.

  6. I've been using white cardstock more lately too - but that's because I got a big pack of it on sale! I love how you matted the photos onto hot pink, and those resin flowers are just lovely. x
