Photoplay Notting Hill - Reading with Nana

Hello, Karen here. Today I'm sharing another scrapbook layout using the fabulous Notting Hill collection from Photoplay.

The starting point for this layout was a sketch from a few years ago posted on Susan Stringfellow's Sketch Savvy blog. I like this sketch because it includes multiple photos of various sizes.

First I took a sheet of white Bazzill Cardstock, trimmed about 1cm off of two sides and matted this onto a sheet of red Bazzill Cardstock.

Then I layered pieces of the Currently Reading and Books I Love papers onto the white background.

Three tags were made using the Book Nerd Paper and these were also added to the layout. Reinforcing rings made from some of the blue Books I Love paper and bows of white twine were added to the tag tops.

My three photos were then matted on white cardstock and placed on top of the papers and tags.

Stickers from the sticker sheet were used as embelishments.


I dug into my stash and used some very old Lime Green chipboard letters and some Navy Blue Pink Paislee Foam Thickers to create a title near the bottom of the layout. When creating a title I like to nestle this into other elements and was able to do that with the words 'with Nana' nestling between the letter G of the word 'Reading' and one of the tags.


Some of the ephemera die cuts were added to the layout too.


Finally the date was added to the layout using more of the foam Thickers and everything was outlined with a black Uni Ball Signo pen.

Thanks for stopping by today. I'll be back again soon with another layout. 

Take Care
