Adventure Awaits | Great Escape | Rachel Lowe

Hello CVS crafty friends Rachel here! Today I am sharing another layout created using the fab Great Escape collection scrapping an older photo of my youngest.

Boys and stars just go together! Firstly I cut the  Star Gazing paper at 5×12 inches. I used the banner paper strip from the Wild Life paper and added to the bottom of the star paper piece. I used a note book border cut file from the Silhouette Design store and cut this using the blue part of the Horizon paper and added to the top of the star paper piece.

I chose a dark blue to ensure I had contrast against the busy star paper. I next cut two stars using both sides of the Starry Night paper, 5 1/2 and 5 inches. I layered these off centre to the left.

I next added my 3×5 inch photo, matting it on the yellow side of the Horizon paper and then adding a strip of the Journey paper, green side. I added my photo with foam tape to create dimension. I love the Chipboard pieces and created an embellishment cluster to the left side of my photo finishing of it with a phrase sentiment die cut.

I used the Adventure Awaits journal strip from the Wild Life paper and added under my photo, this being my title of my layout. I added the compass die cut with foam tape so this element didn’t look ‘flat’.

I always use the Accessory Sticker Sheet to add sub journalling and these phrase sentiments suite my boy so much!

To balance my layout I added a embellishment to the top left of my page, using the tag and ‘play’ banner from the Accessory Sticker sheet, adding the Puffy Star stickers and then some twine.

You could add a larger photo on this layout or even two smaller landscape photos. I did go back and add some Chipboard Stickers and Puffy Star Stickers over some of the stars of the Starry Night paper to add more dimension.

And there you have it another boy layout that is fun and fabulous!

Thank you for stopping by and see you again soon!
