Putting on the Glitz


Hi everyone! It seems like I've been drawing my inspiration from color combos and sketches lately! It seems to channel my creativity.

I completed this layout for a sketch and color challenge at Color Me Scrappy. The sketch included a 6x6 sunburst and a grid format. I turned it a little to fit the format of my pictures. I always take pictures of where we stay on vacation, but I hardly ever use them on layouts since they can tend to be boring---living room, bedroom, kitchen, etc. This time I was sure to include us in the pictures so I could use them!


For the sunburst, I used Heidi Swapp gold Color Shine with a Studio Calico mask, which comes in a 12x12 format, but I only used a corner of it. I embellished the burst with American Crafts Thickers gold stars that came with the gold letters and an Amy Tan rub-on. I also was able to keep some memorabilia on the page with a glasine envelope that I cut open and border punched the top edges.
