Summer Reads – By Amy

Hello crafters, It’s Amy here sharing another 12×12 scrapbook layout I created using June’s “Lets Escape” kit. This is available to purchase as a one off kit from the Lollipop Box Club website.

I started my layout by creating a mixed media background. I added white gesso to a piece of 12×12 white cardstock. When this was completely dry I added three areas of Distress Oxide. I used Mustard Seed Yellow, Mowed Lawn Green and Prize Ribbon blue. I swiped the pad directly on to the card and then sprayed liberally with water to create a watercolour effect.

I cut up the film strips from one of the patterned paper and also cut lots of short strips of the other patterned paper too. I layered my photo on top of 3 other patterned papers that are in the kit.

I am documenting a pile of books that I have sat waiting for the summer. I added my journalling by hand to the lower right hand corner.

I used the little arrow stencil to add some black outline arrows on either side of my layout.

I then added lots of die cuts and stickers from the kit onto my layout.

I added a little right on top of the ’empty space’ of my photo and I really love how this looks.

Thanks for coming to take a look at this layout. I will be back in a few weeks sharing another layout this time created with July’s kit.

Take Care,
Amy
