Fall day | These Days Layout | Anna Komenda
Hello, hello! Welcome Cocoa Vanilla friends. It’s Anna here with my newest page made with “These days” collection. I am still waiting for a brand new christmas line to come to my other side of Earth so I have more time to scrapbook fall photos. Although this collection isn’t exactly fall themed, warm colors make it very easy to combine them with red, yellow and dark green of Polish autumn. Versatility is always the great feature of all CVS lines! Zoe knows hot to design them the way they match many themes and many photos.
This time I had a picture of my older daughter Gabrysia feeding the squirell. In one of the parks we like to visit those cute little creatures are tame enough to take nuts directly from the palm of the hand. My girls love it so much and mamarazzi also like it :) I created very simple and easy to make page.
I picked papers in warm colors like this “Home grown” pattern with flowers on one side and whimsy squares on the other. I love both sides so I decided to fold the corner of the paper to showcase two of them. Lacking triangle was filled with piece of “Daybreak” paper. Next step was to add chosen photo with a layer of cardboard for more dimension.
I gathered few flowers from Floral ephemera pack and some small elements from Ephemera pack and added them around the photo. I would say it’s my signature style thing – I don’t like empty space around photos so I always try to tuck some tabs or flowers behind them. I also found few trees and added them to the mix too.
Bottom part of the page felt empty and needed little something to be added to maintain the balance of the layout. It was a good spot for title, that I made combining Alpha stickers and Foam phrases. I removed the letter “s” from word DAYS to better fit my needs. Don’t be shy with altering stickers or other premade elements. Even though they seem “ready” they are only a starting point and you can change the colors, cut them into smaller pieces – whatever suits you. I like to fussy cut smaller elements from bigger ephemeras or stickers!
My last step was to add super cute wooden buttons and splash everything with yellow and orange mist. Little mess always adds this unique touch to the page.
Do you like making simple pages? I am more of “sweat and blood” scrapbooker but sometimes I just need to sit down and relax with quick layout like this one. That is all for today my fellow scrapbookers. Thank you for stopping by and see you in two weeks.
XO Anna
