Summer ready | Sunkissed Layout | Anna Komenda
Hello everyone. Summer is my favorite season and I am always waiting impatiently for it to arrive. This year we have some delay in warm and sunny days but it’s almost here. Time to pull out hats, sun glasses and shorts. I was looking for all those hidden items and I found my daughter’s cute hat. We had a little fun trying it one by one and (of course) I snapped few photos. I scrapbooked them with amazing “Sunkissed” collection, full of colors and summer motiffs. My design is a perfect way to use up all the smaller paper scraps, tabs and tags.
I started with white 12*12 cardstock as a base and I used my ruler and pencil to mark a big square in the center. This will be the area filled with paper scraps. I wanted to add them looking like a roof tiles with upper ones overlapping the bottom row. I checked my papers for smaller leftover scraps and cut them in small rectangles. I was using mostly the ones from A5 paper stack. I also cut apart paper called “Fun in the sun” and picked some smaller elements for my composition.
I only applied glue on the top side of my rectangles, bending the bottom edge a little bit. I added pieces of foam tape under some of them for more dimensional look. My three photos are also added in the same way.
Title was created with word “summer” from golden foam title stickers and “ready” with alpha from my stash. I also added bits and pieces from ephemera pack like drink, orange slice or ice cream. I also included few stickers to the colorful mix. I wanted to use as manny patterns as possible so I even went through pocket cards and picked the ones with solid background.
As always, I added the smallest elements at the very end including few puffy stickers (I just used up my first sheet, send a new box!) and wooden buttons. They are so cute and they add amazing texture to the design. Few yellow splatters were the final step of making this project. It all went really fast and I finished the page in an hour.
Do you like my idea of using up smaller paper scraps? You can also make similar page with horizontal allignment of the “roof tiles”. That is all for today but I will be back once again in two weeks with another “Sunkissed” page.
Hugs, Anna
