'Happy' with Photoplay's Sweet as Honey

Hello! ScrappyAdam back with you today and I am continuing on with using various Photoplay collections - mixing and matching them because lots of the new releases work so well together! Today's is a little different because I haven't done much mixing! I have used, almost exclusively, Tulla and Norbert's Sweet as Honey collection - and I absolutely LOVE this collection!



I started with the lovely woodgrain paper - the B side of Tweet Tweet which I used as my background. I then took some strips of patterned paper, using three of the papers (and a mix of A and B Sides) and tore some of the strips. I then used my notebook punch to create a notebook style strip towards the top. For the bold, black strip that I tore, I made sure to gradually increase the width as I went from one side to the other. 

I decided to use three photos and mine are all 3x4" and are matted together on piece of the B Side of Buzzing By. I popped my photos up on some foam for some added dimension. 


It was then a case of embellishing! This collection has a sticker sheet and an ephemera pack and I have used a mix of both on this layout. I created an embellishment cluster at the bottom of the page where I used the sticker sheet to create the title; "Happy" and used some more patterned paper strips. 

I created a circle and then cut it in half and used both sides as some extra interest to the top right and tucked a flair underneath the notebook paper. 


This was a fairly quick layout for me with the strips of patterned paper, photo and title placement doing most of the work. I love this design for a scrapbook layout as it allows your photos to shine but gives you fun with the products!

I will be back in August where I am carrying on with my mix and match of Photoplay because I still have so much left!

Do you like to mix collections? Do you mix collections within the same brand or mix and match completely? I like to do a mix of everything but find stash diving for bits and pieces once I have the base of a layout done so much fun!

Don't forget to check out the shop - there is so many new goodies on their way and arriving everyday! 

Till next time, take care and stay safe - and happy scrapping!
