There’s new king in da castle | Layout | Anna Komenda
Hello, hello crafty people. It’s Anna here with a little surprising (at least I think so) page in masculine style made with a big mix of many masculine CVS collections! You know it’s a rarity for me to make boy pages as I have two daughters and I am faithful to all things pink and glitter. You may also remember that I was a mom to the pretty beagle boy named Pirat. He was the hero of some of my layouts and albums. We lost him last year and we promised ourselves it will be our last dog as the loss was so heavy. However, after almost a year, we started missing fur on our clothes, couch and in the cup of tea. One thing led to another and now there is new king in our little castle!!!
Ladies and gentlemen – meet Filut (Jester in English). He is 4,5 months old beagle boy and he is with us since July. It’s like having little baby in the house again. He makes me laugh, sometime he makes my cry (after eating piece of wall…) but out house and our hearts are full again. Be prepared for more masculine layouts coming!!! He is so cute and I can’t resist taking pictures of him. For his first layout I had a very specific idea in mind with a child like page with wonky scene.
I started with picking background from the very first Cocoa Vanilla collection called “Flying high”. It’s not available anymore but you can purchase it’s digital version. You can also fing digi version of “Totally rad” line for even more fun! I then went through many other papers picking few to make a house. Some of them were only scraps. I didn’t measure anything, didn’t skecth any shapes. Just took the scissors and made few cuts. From all of the lines I used only “Legenday” is still available to purchase. So you may consider this page as using up older stash.
After my house was done, I added photo and embellishments around it. Again – I reached for the mix of stickers, cardboard stickers, chipboards and ephemera pieces. I keep them all in one bag – leftovers from old masculine collections – so I can’t even tell which line they belong to. In an empty area in upper left corner I added a title. I ased old alpha stickers from CVS too. Longer phrase perfectly fits here. I like adding my letters tilted and moved – I don’t need to worry they do not line up perfectly then! Make them cricket on purpose!
Whole page came together pretty fast and it was so fun to make. I just love using up my older stuff and plaing with basic supplies. You can make more girly version of this page too, with wonky house and random elements from various collections!
That is all for today. Thank you so so much for stopping by and see you again in October. Fall officially started on northern hemisphere which means much less daily light, gloomy weather, rainy days and cold. Not a fan here! However I am happy scrapbooking and Filut will be my companions during long evenings.
XO Anna
