You Are My Happy Place

Scrapbook Layout  for NSD 2016  @ScrapbookNerd.com  - You Are My Happy Place-

It is all about the fringe!!

Hello once again!!!

This is my last layout created for Scrapbook Nerd's National Scrapbooking Day 2016.   For this I was inspired by the new Bloom Collection from Crate Paper.

For starters, I chose a large picture of my sister and my nephew together  (I love this picture)...  I decided that i wanted to highlight the picture, so enlarged it to 8.5 x 11 in, and matted it on white cardstock.

I created a fringe border using all Crate Paper papers from the Bloom collection and Style board collection.  I cut strips of 2 x 12 in, and used a pair of scissors to cut the fringe.  I sew the strips together to a multicolor polka dot paper.  

A close up of  the cluster in the picture.

Using a foam sheets behind the picture, I attached it to the page, making sure the picture sat above the fringe.  I added just a few clusters at two of the corners of the picture.

The second cluster - a  close up- 

For the title, I used my Silhouette Cameo to cut the "You are my Happy Place"  file twice.  I glued the two cut outs together, and then attached it to the bottom of the picture.

I used pearl white cardstock for the title

Finally, I added a few puffy sequin stickers, photo corners and a tag behind the picture with all the journal about this picture...

The Final Layout...

I called this page my Ode to Crate Paper, as 90% of the materials used come from their different collections.

I love it, even though it will most likely go to my sister's scrapbook or my nephew's room.

I hope you join me at Scrapbook Nerd for more fun.

Happy Scrapping!!
