OFF TO TORONTO ISLAND

A few weeks ago i took an online scrap class by the lovely and talented Kirsty, called Telling Tales. it's just 6 pounds, is pretty awesome, and the money goes to a charity! In other words, i highly recommend it.

Anyway, one of the prompts was all about blocking it out so that's what i tried to do one this layout.I started with my 3 pictures which i matted with the same yellow paper (from Yes Please). Also found this blue card on my stash and decided to use it. Went looking for something to journal on to. Cut out a tag on a Studio Calico paper (from the 6x6 Sundrifter paper pad). Decided i wanted to add some pink and found the camera from Yes Please. added a card under it. All i add to do left was add my title (i knew from the beginning the space at the top would be used for the title). Then some more arrow stamps to help your eyes navigate on the layout. The two big ones were embossed with gold powder. loving the look!

Funny fact: i was NOT planning on using this side of the background paper. I bought it for its A side which is a lovely teal color with lots of anchor. But the B side ended up being perfect for this layout so well i guess it's no big deal.

  5. Fantastic layout! The paper is perfect for the background, oh well, you'll just have to buy another sheet for the teal side, right?! Love the 'awesome' flair on the geotag! x
