Sheer Fun
Summer friendship…splashing around in the pool…it’s sheer fun and one of those moments we always remember looking back. A decided to create a layout around a photo I had of my daughter, one of my boys and some friends splashing around in a pool. I decided to use this beautiful Crate Paper patterned paper as the base of my design and chose my colors from the patterned paper itself. If you read yesterday’s entry…you’ll have seen this paper before. 
Here’ what I did with it.
Summer Friendship
Here’s my color combo from the ones I uploaded yesterday. The colors might be slightly different on your screen as I took the photo of the layout in different light.
This layout uses some of my rubber stamps to help me create the design. The Vintage Ledger Scrapblock™ is stamped onto a piece of Iced Teal cardstock while my Pindot Scrapblock ™ is stamped on kraft cardstock. I love how easy it is to create my own coordinating patterned paper with these stamps. My sentiment stamps form the title of this layout. F is for Friendship comes from the For the Men stamp set, The Rummage Bin line, proving that this set is NOT just for the men. 
I created this layout for a product review I wrote for Craft Critique on Maya Road Office Sheers! I just LOVE these sheer embellishments and worked two of them into this design…the memories one with journaling on it and at the top, a Office Sheers journaling tab that is simply embellished with a flower and button. Want to read more about them? Check out the article here.
Have a fabulous day! Tomorrow is another Ways to Use it Challenge. I hope you’ll set aside some time to play along!
