Summer - Simple Stories - Summer Snapshots Collection

Hi everyone, it's Rebecca with you today, back from the gorgeous Isle of Wight and sharing my second layout of August with you. This month I've been working with the cheerful Summer Snapshots collection by Simple Stories. It's a fabulous summer-themed offering, perfect for all your beach and holiday layouts. You can find the full collection in the shop here.  


I started with a 9 x 6 inch strip of the 'Keep it Sunny' patterned paper and a 10 x 4 inch strip of the 'Take the Shot' paper (both B sides). I tore the top and bottom edges of both pieces, and positioned them, layered, in the centre of a sheet of Premium White Cardstock. I love tearing the edges of papers as it helps to introduce some texture to the page. 

In the centre of the layout, I added my 3 x 4 inch photo and one of the tags from the 'Tag Elements' paper. I usually use the tags as layers behind my photos, or like on my previous layout, sticking out behind layers, however I really liked the image on this particular tag so placed it square on the page, with a metal eyelet through the top.


Underneath my photo and tag, I added my title. I've gone for a large title from the Bits & Pieces to make a statement. I liked the way the shadowing matched the colours in my photo. Just underneath this, I added a small Foam Sticker to extend my title.


With all of these larger elements in place, I focused on embellishing with the smaller elements in the collection. I've used elements from the Sticker Book (which is amazing value for money and includes 469 stickers!), the Layered Chipboard, the Bits & Pieces, the Journal Bits and Pieces and the Cardstock Stickers


I then finished the layout off with some of the Glossy Enamel Dots.


Thanks so much for reading. I hope you've enjoyed the layouts I've created with this collection. I've got a whole heap of fresh holiday photos to scrap so you'll definitely be seeing more of this collection!

Take care
