Happy Days | Monthly Challenge | Rachel Lowe

Have you seen this months monthly challenge? So beautiful and it instantly reminded me of my trip to Italy and namely Capri. Here is my layout and November challenge.

I chose a lemon cut file as Capri was all about lemons and Lemonchello! This gorgeous cut file is from Cut to You (created by Gwen). I used my CVS stash to created this layout and found a check yellow paper piece and a script paper piece. I decided to add my paper pieces with foam tape to add dimension, which when creating a 8.5×11 inch layout is important.

Before adhereing to my white cardstock I add some yellow watercolour and when dry added some script stamp and embossed with white power. This adds not only visual interest but also adds texture again important on a smaller layout size.

To add some pops of colour to contrast against the yellow and white I chose a turquoise and blues. I added my photo (me in Capri admiring the view) on a mat of turquoise with foam tape. I embellished around my photo, adding some fussy cut turquoise flowers, a journal spot and camera die cut.

I used alpha stickers to create my title and used accessory sticker sentiment phrases as sub journalling. I finished off adding some fussy cut butterflies and foam taped them around my page.

These papers and embellishments from my stash created a perfect travel themed layout. I love how scrapbook challenges inspire you and get your mojo going, this being a perfect challenge to document a beautiful time in a beautiful country!

Thank you for stopping by.
