I don't usually redo layouts. But when I was attacking my pages in progress pile, there were a few layouts that I just couldn't finish. I didn't love the products I had used. I didn't like the photo placement and more.
So I decided to start over. The only thing I kept were the photos. Here is the layout from this do over.
After I pulled all of my photos from the old layout, I went through some sketch books in search for a layout design. I had in mind to used the floral patterned paper and the Shimelle Box of Crayons sticker folder to start. Things I was excited to use.
Luckily one of the first sketches from Scrapbook Generation's I ran across was going to work with the photos I had. It was in their travel sketch book.
Instead of a title, I used the photo of the sign in the park in its place. Shimelle's stickers were the perfect embellishments for this page!
For one of my border strips, I used my Martha Stewart fringe scissors to add some texture to this layout. A technique I have been wanting to try for some time. I also used some gold sequins that already had adhesive on them from one of my SCT sampler kits to add a bit of bling.
I created a bit of a photo collage with some 2x2 and one 2x4 photos to keep everything together. Love that toucan sticker!
The border is made up from a red 6x6 paper from my stash, yellow washi I backed with cardstock to make more visible, and the fringed paper.
Created a journaling block and embellished with more awesome birds from Shimelle's sticker folder. Love them so much!
So there you go. A page out of my pages in progress pile and I turned it into one that I LOVE! Once I gave myself permission to start over, this layout came together in no time!
Thanks for checking this out! Have more layouts scheduled so keep an eye out for more!
