Inspiration: Lasting Memory Layout Challenge #503 (Add Sparkle - I included the rhinestone border and the gold-foiled title)
This page was born out of leftover papers from the Sun Kissed collection from Bo Bunny. I've always loved this collection and I've made quite a few projects with it over the years, which is why I was surprised to find out that I still have a few full 12" x 12" pages along with paper scraps. I had put aside this photo of my niece being a little ham so that I could scrap it soon and when I pulled out those patterned papers, the colours went well with the bag in the picture and also contrasted the fact that the picture is dark. I was also going through my die-cuts last weekend and I found some clear pieces from Heidi Swapp, including gold-foil words and the "cheeky" one went perfectly with this picture. Once I placed the paper scraps, including the sun die-cut scrap, and the acrylic word around the picture, I pretty much knew what the page could look like. I put it aside to work on later, so when I sat back down today, all I had to do was handwrite my journaling and pick out ornements.
Again, I'm working on using up what I have and now that I'm more aware of how to look at pieces from embellishment pack individually, I was able to use a chipboard piece from a school-theme pack (the aqua-felt arrow) and a chipboard piece from a Halloween set (the cute little monster kid). I also snuck in my last two blue dotties from Queen & Co, my last cork stickers from Stampin' Up! (past SAB freebie), a few decorative brads, a rhinestone border and a couple of shaped clips from Doodlebug (the sun and cloud).
I miss the old Bo Bunny style. I've purchased quite a few of their older lines back in the days and I find that their style has aged well through the years. The new vintage style with muted colours does not appeal to my personal tastes. It was fun to pull out the older papers again, though.
