HERE & NOW - Scrapbook Nerd

Hello there!

This week the DT at Scrapbook Nerd is working projects that document Travels and Summer.  I pulled the beautiful Sunny Days collection and a cut file from Handipaper to create a page all about my daughter's first trip to LA a few years back.

Lately, i have been loving non white backgrounds, this time I pulled a light blue cardstock for the background and added and extra splash of color (a bit too much, i think) using some white paint and Jane Davenport's Mermaid Markers.

While the background dried,  i used a cut file from Handipaper to create the seashell wreath cut out for the page.  I backed each image with papers from the Maggie Holmes' Sunny Days collection, and even added  a bit of extra color to some of the images using the markers.

Once the background was completely dried, i used a bit of foam adhesive to attach the cut out to the layout.   The pictures were then backed with pieces from the large alpha cards from the collection; these too were attached to the page followed with a series of fussy cut shells and embellishments.

I clustered most of the embellishments at the lower part of the page surrounding the pictures.   Then added the title of the page at the top of the wreath.  I wanted to mark the location of the pictures in the page, so i used mini alphas at at the end of the seashell cluster.   I made sure to leave plenty of empty space under the title for my daughter's lines of journal.  Here is the final layout:

Love how this page came together, and all the colors in the page.   I am sure my daughter will cherish this page, and will be able to add her memories on the page.
