So. Much. Fussy Cutting.Hey friends! I'm back with a new layout featuring the Garden Shoppe collection by Paige Evans. I started with this gorgeous button paper from the collection, and I had a wild idea that involved fussy cutting every. single. button. I'm crazy, I know. The idea was to concentrate the buttons at the top and have them sprinkling down toward the bottom, like rainbow confetti. Here's how it turned out! If you're like me, then it's a struggle to fit more than 1 or 2 pictures on a page. I was able to squeeze in three on this one by creating a horizontal strip that runs across the entire page. Black and white pictures make a perfect contrast to the bright rainbow of colors. I matted the photos on a rainbow woodgrain paper, also from Garden Shoppe. (I could use 10 sheets of this paper! It's so gorgeous!) Matting the photos allowed me to put the photos above the buttons instead of covering them up. I love how the stripes on the woodgrain paper match up perfectly with my rainbow of buttons! Next up: embellishments! I used the floral ephemera pack to add flowers and leaves peeking out from the bottom edge of my photos. I cut most of them in half, just to make it easier to wedge the flowers in that gap. Next I cut several sentiments from this paper and used them to embellish tone-on-tone across the buttons. It was bugging me that the gap between the green and blue buttons was bigger than the gaps between the other colors, so I decided to use that space for my journaling. Finally, I added a title with basic white foam stickers from my stash. Check out the process video above, and be sure to check out my channel @stayingscrappy for all my latest layouts! I hope you feel inspired to try incorporating multiple photos on one page. Thanks for stopping by, and stay scrappy!
