Claire here with you today, sharing my second layout with the fabulous Pack Your Bags collection from Simple Stories.
I adore scrapping travel photos and this collection is such a fun one to use. Loads of bright colours, fun patterns and fabulous phrases.
For this layout, I've opted for a circular design which is one of my favourite 'go to' designs.
To create impact, I first drew a circle on a piece of plain white cardstock and cut out the centre using a craft knife. Adding depth, I backed the remaining frame in foam before adhering it to a piece of the Packed and Ready patterned paper which is full of colourful suitcases - the perfect match for my photographs!!
I mounted my two photos in the Let's Go Everywhere and Enjoying the View papers, picking contrasting red and blue patterns to help the photos pop.
Once these were in place, I created small clusters on either side, using elements from the cardstock stickers, foam stickers and Bits & Pieces. I raised some on foam and adhered some flat to the page, building depth, dimension and interest that draws your eye across the page.
Under the photographs I popped two tags - one from the Bits & Pieces ephemera pack and the other fussy cut from the Tag Elements paper. I added eyelets in contrasting colours and twine, both from my stash.
For my title, I opted for one of the foam stickers - I know I say it every time but these really are my favourite item in Simple Stories collections and these are no exception!
The phrase 'Time To Go' is a match made in heaven for my photographs and sites nicely along the top curve of the aperture. As a fun extra touch, I added a plane from the sticker sheet above it which brings the design together and creates a very small third cluster on the page.
To finish the page and bring all the colours together, I added Novo Drops around the aperture and the page then felt complete!
I hope you've enjoyed the pages I've made with this collection. They've certainly been fun to make!
You can check out the collection in full here.
Until next month, happy scrapping!
