I'm here working on number 25 of my 365 Page Layout Challenge 2019 (and the lessons I learn). I will try to link up to where you can purchase the items I used just in case you see anything you might like to try!
This was another Challenge from the UK Facebook group I'm in. The challenge was pretty specific: a first of something (baby, first time...) triangles, stencil and an unusual way of journaling.
I started off with a bright pink 12x12 card stock background. I also have a pad with some unusual papers in them and this lime green with yellow splatters worked like a charm with this layout! So I cut an inch from each side and adhered it to the pink 12 x 12 background.
I backed all of the photos with a thin piece of foam! I've never done that before but I have a small stash of super thin foam sheets in these bright colors of yellow, green, pinks and blues. So here is LESSON #1, think outside the box. Who would have thought to use foam as a border around a photo? I ended up doing a blue, green and yellow on the photos to pull the colors out and make them pop. I used some foam dots on them to adhere to the background to give a bit of dimension.
For the use of triangles, I cut 3 triangles using some of the yellow thin foam and added some bright pink puffy stickers from My Mind's Eye PALM BEACH COLLECTION. I also used a rubber chips banner from PinkFresh Studio 's Dream On collection underneath one of the photos to add more triangles (be it upside down, they are still triangles😬) and some pink and gold triangles sticker from Bella Blvd.
I added some other puffy stickers from Bella Blvd (the LOVE circle, the multi colored flag and the SHINE ON, which I used for my TITLE). And here comes LESSON #2 for this layout, you don't have to always use alphas for your title. This puffy sticker worked great! I've also used Stamps, Project Life Cards, cards from pads, you get the idea. I added a glitter beach ball sticker from the SPLASH FUN collection, a chipboard BIG SMILES sticker from American Crafts, and a SO MUCH FUN sticker from Bella Blvd's MAKE YOUR MARK collection. The OH HAPPY DAY clear sticker is from The Paper Studio AGEND 52 (Hoppy Lobby), the CUTE AS A BUTTON clear sticker is from The Paper Studio's Children Phrases sticker pack (Hobby Lobby) and the rainbow is from The Hip Kit Club ephemera pack. The BE YOU (yellow and pink sticker) is from Dear Lizzy and finally the LIFE IS SWEET flair is from SCRAPPIN HAPPY STUDIO.
I then did my stenciling. I have this stencil I purchased from Amazon with different words on it. I chose the BE HAPPY because she is so happy in that pool at that moment! I used embossing glue on my stencil and then used my Wendy Vecchi embossing powder in BUTTERCUP and heated with my heat gun. I did this on a separate piece of scrap paper in green and then used foam dots to secure it to my background.
For the unusual journaling I decided to use the same thin foam sheets I had and wait for it...put it in my BIG SHOT die cutting machine with a square die that had and framed it! I then took some clear stickers ran them through the printer and stuck them onto the yellow square. I glued the square to my backing and it worked great!
