Good morning everyone, there is so much inspiration buzzing around the internet today and I wanted to add a little bit more to it with a page that I created using Vintage Traveller from Simple Stories. It's a beautiful collection with pastel blues and greens, maps, tickets, old posters....it's gorgeous.
I decided to scrap one of my favourite photos of late which is me and my youngest on the water bus heading over to Venice, the colours and papers went perfectly. I started with my torn strips and layers around the photo, but in my kit I also had the sticker pack for this collection and there are a few sheets of rectangular stickers, some with sayings, some images - they have the texture of some of the washi stickers that Simple Stories do. I decided to tear and layer them up behind my photo to create a real mix of patterns and colours - it was great fun to do and I was really pleased with the effect - adding a nice bit of texture without any paint! The other way I added some texture was with some organza ribbon - it's been in my stash for ages and I added a pleated/stapled band being my photo. I started off by sticking it very lightly to the page with a tape runner - so the glue wouldn't show and then added staples so the pleats flattened.
I dug out some of my paper clips that co-ordinated - determined to use up some of the little bits in my stash that have been forgotten!
Jill sent me these fantastic travel thickers (Wander) by American Crafts - all black and white sentiments - you will see a few more on my pages in the gallery
I hope you have a fantastic National Scrapbooking Day, do come and share your pages over in our Facebook group ADTML#Create.
