Hey friends! Brianna back again today sharing another layout using the Oh What Fun collection. I'm having so much fun working with this collection and documenting some of our holiday memories. I realized I hadn't scrapbooked some photos of my girl in front of the Christmas tree last year so I immediately got to work! Here's my page:
When I first received this collection, I saw the new Shakers and knew that a shaker element of some kind was in my near future. I couldn't resist and thought it would be fun to create one for this page. I needed something to create my shaker element in, so I went through the 12x12 patterned papers to see if there was something that I could use. I saw the large tags on the Spot of Cheer paper and immediately started trimming three of them out. I figured I could create my shaker in one of them and here's how I did it.
I trimmed out a square in the middle of the blue one to create my "window". I then took the super adorable Christmas Magic Heavyweight Acetate, trimmed a piece out that was large enough to cover the window and adhered it to the backside of my tag. Next, I took some narrow foam strips and applied it around the perimeter of my window. I carefully poured in some of the Christmas Confetti Shakers mix and then closed the back of my shaker using a scrap piece of vellum from my stash. I love how it turned out!!
Next, I went ahead and added some colored eyelets from my stash to each tag and then tied some Doodlebug Twine through each one. I set them aside and worked on the base for my page. I chose a piece of white cardstock from my stash as the base and then adhered both the A and B sides of the All Spruced Up 12x12 paper to the middle. The colorful trees are the perfect pattern for my photo! I then arranged and layered the three tags together and adhered them down. I matted my photo using the 6x8 Paper Pad and got that adhered down as well. I'm really loving all of the patterns and bright, happy colors all together.
For my title, I chose a phrase from the Chit Chat pack and thought it would fit perfectly on the left side tag. I love how the title and my photo sandwich the shaker element. So fun!
I wanted to decorate the shaker element a little more and I thought the Santa's Elves Doodle-Pop stickers were perfect for it! They're so playful and I love the touch of whimsy that they add to my girls page.
Next, I added my journaling onto one of the little notebook die cuts from the Bits & Pieces pack. I centered it right under my tag and adhered it down. I then started to embellish and tried to keep it at a minimum since my page was already pretty busy. I simply added a few Oh What Fun Sprinkles in some spots and then tucked a few trees from the Odds & Ends pack into the outside of the tags.
Here's one last look at this super cute page:
Thank you so much for stopping by today, I hope that I've inspired you in some way. I'll see you in my next post friends!
