Curiosity is an amazing thing and my 18 year old daughter has currently taken to adventuring outside of her known universe! Hey Bella Blvd Friends! It's Leanne here today sharing my latest project using the new Plaids & Dotty collection.
Just before my girl's first big trip overseas, we snapped some pics of her excitement receiving a new set of luggage! Having printed the photo in black and white has given me a ton of flexibility when it comes to scrapbooking it.
I chose to keep the layout quite girly and feminine, opting for a soft pink palette. The Cotton Candy plaid patterned paper is the perfect background to build paper layers upon. Highlighted by the Punch patterned paper, both sides A and B help draw the eye to the photo at the rule of thirds line. The reverse side of Punch has been cut free hand into a scallop strip, to add a touch of whimsy to the page.
To connect the idea of my daughter's new found love of travel, I machine stitched a heart shape directly onto the plaid patterned paper. The stitching then provided a guideline for the title.
Adding details such as the gorgeous Heart Hugs and Puffy Heart Stickers over a layer of vellum, complements both the title and the black and white photo.
The photo sits on a 4"x4" square of My Tribe patterned paper from Mom Life and then mounted onto foam dots for dimension. Between the photo layer and the plaid patterned paper, fussy cut flowers have been placed as embellishments.
Journaling has been typed onto a 3.5" wide piece of vellum. It fits snuggly under the edge of the foam mounted photo and is anchored at the bottom of the page with more fussy cut detail.
To complete the layout I've added a soft pink cute clip and some black and white Tabbies from Oh My Starz! to form a visual triangle.
I'm so glad I've managed to scrap the excitement about travel even though there are no typical or iconic travel photos on this page! Hopefully I've now inspired you to create your next layout using the fun new Plaids & Dotty collection. Thanks for visiting..x
