Hello, Laura here. I’m
so excited to be guest designing with the September/October kit. It’s been a while since I received a kit and
felt the buzz of opening a pizza box. I
certainly wasn’t disappointed!
For my first layout I’m using several of the Pink Fresh
Studio patterned papers and Vicki Boutin Field Notes 'Collect and Document'
patterned paper. I had already cut into
the papers as I had started a layout... the pile of papers that I wasn’t
intending to use caught my eye.
Triangles sort of patched together.
I couldn’t ignore it so I put what I was working on to one side (you’ll
see that in my next post) and played with the angular off cuts.
I pieced together some of the patterned papers. I wanted an area of plain cardstock amongst
all the pattern but the white from the kit wasn’t hitting the spot. I added in a sheet of purple cardstock from
my stash. I didn’t have the exact shade
of purple but with a sheet of vellum laid over the top it was a good enough
match. I trimmed down the purple/vellum
so that the points of my triangle off cuts reached the edge. To make the layout back up to a standard 12x12
size I added a border using another of the Pink Fresh papers. Now I had the foundation of my page I moved
over to my sewing machine and adding stitching to most of the joins; some in
straight stitch, some zigzag, all in threads picked out to match the Pink Fresh
Mesa patterned paper. It struck me that
the vellum would make a great shaker pocket so I mix some sequins from my stash
to match and added them behind the vellum before sewing the last edge up.
I was torn between using a puffy sticker for my title or
fussy cutting a foil title from Kaisercraft Misty Mountains rose gold foiled
cardstock – the foil won because rose gold foil always wins in my book! I
added a few heart and leaf puffy stickers and decided it was done.
I will add my journalling in the peach triangle after
photographing and sharing.
Thanks for looking!
