P13 - Coffee Break - Probably the Best Coffee Ever

Hello everyone, Karen here with another layout using P13's Coffee Break collection.

For today's layout, I used eight images taken from Whatsapp messages which I printed onto photo paper.

I started by trimming 1/4" from all sides of a sheet of smooth white 12x12 cardstock and matted this onto a 12x12 sheet of brown cardstock. 

On the right side of the layout I layered various pieces of paper from the 6x6 paper pad and some of the brown cardstock, which I punched with a border punch to create a decorative edge. Later I was able to cover the joins in the 6" pieces of paper with my photo block giving the impression that the papers were a full 12" in length. Using the sewing machine I stitched a straight stitch along the edges.

My eight photos were matted as a block onto a couple of piece of brown paper from the paper pad. 

Images were fussy cut from a 12x12 sheet of paper #3 and added to the layout.

In my stash I found a wood veneer banner with the word 'Fav' cut into it and added this below the photo block.

Using the Silhouette Cameo I cut the title from some dark brown cardstock. The title was stuck in the bottom left corner of the layout nestling the smaller letters among the word Coffee.

Journalling strips were printed with brown ink onto white cardstock on the computer and placed above the title.

Finally I splattered some brown watercolour paint onto the layout and scattered some gold sequins and brown enamel dots here and there.

I hope you like this layout. I'm really enjoying using the Coffee Break collection and will be back again next month with another project.

Take Care
