INSPIRE CREATE LOVE - Scrapbook Nerd

Hi there!
It is my turn to share some inspiration for Scrapbook Nerd.   I chose to create a cute and fast layout using a combination of Vicki Boutin and Simple Stories.

I started with one of the premade mixed media pages from  VIcki Boutin's Color Kaleidoscope collection.  First, i added two strips of papers from Simple Stories Hey Crafty Girl collection followed by a bit of white paint - this tones down the color of the background, and also helps to create a white canvas for the page-.  Once the paint dried, i used a bit of Archival Ink to stamp the background using this Stampendous stamp set.

I backed the picture with one of the cut apart cards,and placed in the center of the page followed by the large scallop border to the left of the picture.   There are so many cute embellishments in this collection, it is easy to create clusters around the picture.

Since the picture and strips are in a vertical line, i chose to add a line of embellishments on a horizontal line so that they intercept the picture in the middle.  Starting with the title and continuing with a line of embellishments

 
All the crafty icons are the perfect size to create the large cluster at the bottom of the picture.   All that was left to do was add my lines of journal and a few gold drops.

I hope you stop by the Scrapbook Nerd shop to check all the materials that i used in this page.  There is always new products arriving at the shop.

As always, please do not hesitate to contact me with any questions.
