Everywhere I look lately I see something 'scrappy' - you know what I mean...flourishes on tv commercials, designs on crockery and bed linen, etc. I remember watching 'Dancing With The Stars' once and I swear that the coloured light pattern on the dancefloor was EXACTLY the same as a piece of patterned paper that I have in my stash !! So anyway...I was flicking through a scrapbook magazine the other day and came across this advertisement :
As soon as I saw it I wanted to replicate it...so I did :
The photo is of my Elliot's grandparents and I just love it. While I could have scrapped it with a heritage theme (and probably still will), I love that the quirkiness of this layout refects the carefree, fun atmosphere of the photo.
I inked the edges of the cardstock (a bit hard to see in this pic, sorry) and then dry embossed the dots to reflect the dots on the paper in the advertisement. Because the cardstock I used has a different coloured core I was able to sand it to reveal the lighter colour where it had been embossed.
All of the papers are scraps leftover from other projects. The flowers along the bottom of the photo and scattered around the page were also made from scraps, which I either punched or cut by hand. The round pins and heart pin are by Heidi Grace.
