Hi there! It's been a few weeks since I've created a layout and the
Prima's April's Build-A-Page sketch was just what I needed to get my scrap on! For some breath taking inspiration, be sure to check out what the DT has provided for inspiration. If you are like me, you will get caught up daydreaming for hours on end while gazing at the beautiful artwork.
I chose to scrap a layout featuring my hubby and I in front of the Roman Colosseum while on a summer trip to Europe.
I used several sheets of patterned paper from the
Prima Botanical Collection and adorned it with quite a few of my favorite things. I combined an assortment of
Prima flowers &
pearl flourishes along with a variety of die cuts. I pulled out some Mulberry paper to make some foliage using a few
Foliage die templates.
I love mixing things up a bit, combining various textures and materials such as: paper flowers, fabric flowers, foil and chipboard. Using
Antiquities and
Premium Craft Foil, I made a crown and a keyhole.
While I had all these products out, I made a card with a few scraps from the
Prima Botanical Collection.
With all the subtle colors in the patterned paper, I thought I would spice things up a bit using
Tattered Angels Gold Glimmer Mist to spray the ornate frame. It has such a beautiful shimmer IRL.
In case you are interested, here are a few more pics:
Scott in front of the
Roman Colosseum:
Boggles my mind and is difficult for me to fathom that this structure's construction began in 72 AD!
Here's a peek on the inside:
I hope you enjoyed a few of my vacation pics and thanks so much for the taking to visit me today. I'll be back Saturday with an all new
Waltzingmouse Sketch. Be Sweet!
