ScrapPlezier - Farewell

This is my last layout for this team. I've enjoyed designing for ScrapPlezier since March 2017 and have felt that it is now time to step down. Sure hope I've inspired you each month with my layouts. I decided to head out with a double page layout using lots of photos:

These pics are all from Aaron's grade 7 farewell... these were sooooo many pics of the kids but I really wanted to used them all so that we would remember. Printing little photos is definitely the way to go then. I also was inspired by a layout from Jowilna that I tweaked a bit to make work. Her layout only had one word on the bottom strip, but I decided to make my own (splash) and enhance it with a different one (happy)... which is actually a precut patterned paper by Heidi Swapp. The word together I cut on my Curio machine as well as the clock. The other touches are, splats, bling, stitching and washi tape.

The main feature of this page is adding glitter to the two cutout words. To do this I added very strong adhesive tape to a scrap of paper large enough to fit behind each word. Once it was stuck i simply sprinkled the glitter on and pressed it into the tape to stick. Dusted the excess off back into the jar. Hey presto! Glittery words. Besides getting glitter all over me, the floor and my worksurface I am happy with the layout. Don't think I will rush and use glitter again soon though.... not my favourite!

Be sure to check out the blog for loads more creativity even though I won't be designing each month anymore.

I've really enjoyed my time and will miss it, but need to scale back on some of my commitments to give me some breathing space. Still have loads more layouts in the pipeline coming up so don't go anywhere!
