Best Life Scrapbook Layout - Shimelle Guest Designer

 

Hi! I'm sharing a family themed layout that I created for a Guest Design spot with Shimelle today. My sister and her 4 kids came to visit me over the Thanksgiving holiday, and we had an amazing time together. I took this photo of my sister with her two daughters at a local neighborhood park where we spent time enjoying the full palette of falling leaves, something that they don't get to see living in central Texas.

I always gravitate to specialty papers. The 12x12 Die-Cut Cardstock from the Field Trip Collection, with the rainbow of colorful punch-out segments, was the starting point for my page design. I popped out the cool tone die-cuts that matched the colors in my photo. After trimming away the white border from each die-cut and distressing the edges with scissors, I arranged the pieces of patterned paper by color onto the base patterned paper.

Once I had the bands of color secured to the page, it was time to embellish! Shimelle's paper collections are full of color and fun designs that have a lot of texture and dimension, so I had plenty to choose from. I applied puffy and foam stickers, and small images that I cut from patterned papers, into the matching-colored sections on the page. I combined elements from two collections to create this layout; Never Grow Up and Field Trip.

I applied teal glitter star stickers for a touch of sparkle and white chalk ink splatters for contrast before adding a small journaling sticker to finish the page.
