Thanks for joining me today while I share my newest layout created off the sketch from GrandDiva’s Creative Corner. It was originally a two page sketch, but I only used the left hand side. I also used the the mood board from Creating with Paper & More. The mood board had a wood sign in it inspiring the wood grain paper I used for my background. It also had a child blowing snow that looked like stars…hence the star accents I used around my page. Lastly, the board had a deer in the left corner. My husband is an avid hunter so it inspired me to scrap about his recent achievement at work.
Last, but certainly not least, I went with Rochelle Spear’s challenge of using twine or ribbon on your layout. I had a ton of both these items in my stash, but never really use them so this was perfect for me.
I also wanted to include the comments that were posted when his job put the achievement on their wall. I didn’t want to include four full size photos on the page, and I didn’t want to shrink the photo of him down so I used some flip flaps from Close To My Heart to fit them all in.
Thanks for bearing with me for my super long post. Hope you love the layout.
Fantastic layout!! I love how you were inspired by the January Mood Board challenge! The wood grain is a perfect background. The stars really accent his accomplishment too! Great job combining all 3 challenges! Thanks for playing along with the Scrappy Friends! 🙂
I always love seeing masculine layouts…gorgeous page Lyne. Wishing you a fabulous 2016 filled with much joy.
Wonderful take on the sketch and the mood board. Thank you for linking up with the Scrappy Friends challenges.
