Smile

I started this layout and hated the direction it was going, nothing was working, nothing looked right...and then, BAM!  This is more me, I love the soft colors in layouts but I really do love color.  I decided to pretty much start doing layouts where I pull in the colors I love for a "pop."  After watching several of Jill Sprott's videos on TwoPeas and taking her class, Scrapbooking for the Soul, I decided to go for what I love...color and layers and happy memories.


I decided to use a grid design here focusing on four corners.  I already knew I wanted to use this photo and loved bringing in the orange/pink color that was inspired from the Pebble's sticker on the tag with twine.


There is lots of dimension and visual interest on this page which I love.  I added TwoPeas exclusive clips as well to hold some of the layers and embellishments in place.


I added an adorable stitched tag from Amy Tangerine along with a sticker from Pebbles for my journaling.


A closer look at the cloud paper I cut and layered along the top of the layout.  Also, a close up of the pier slide frame that I painted with neon Mister Huey's by Studio Calico.

Thank you so much for following along and stopping by, it means a lot.  Hope you are inspired to add some color on your pages!
