Layouts Within Limits Part Three: The final layout

I was sure I had blogged the final layout from this challenge but it appears I had not. I was totally inspired by seeing how Danielle used this Tim and Beck paper here. She totally rocked it!

Here is what I ended up doing with the same paper.

 Given the theme of rain I decided to turn the paper around so the arrows were falling like rain.I muted a section of the paper with an overlay of the hexagon patterned veneer.  I used a couple of journalling pages from the Basic Grey snippets booklet . The aqua alpha was a perfect choice. Wood veneer clouds, umbrellas and raindrops and it was done.

Here is a close up of the vellum and rain.

I think I am in love with the veneer umbrella. I really should have bought two packets!

I loved working on this project and am really excited to be part of a blog hop later this week tackling another glitter girl challenge. Watch this space!

Layouts Within Limits: The First Two Layouts

I have not had much luck with weather for taking photos of these layouts. I held off almost all day hoping the light would improve but it hasn't. I hope you can still see what is going on.

Here are my background paper choices with my photos.

 

 

I worked on the single picture layout first. I love this photo of my friend Stefanie. She had just started seeing someone who she thought was very special and her happiness shone out of every pore. They recently announced their engagement and it seemed a good time to record her early excitement.

 I used a variety of patterned papers including vellum, Amy Tangerine and a recent orange toned paper from an SC kit. I used a generous handful of Freckled Fawn stars, an Amy Tangerine heart and rub on and a Bananafish Studio card along with the two alphas I chose. Simple and having the limited supplies certainly made the process much quicker than usual.

Here are a couple of close ups.

The next layout I completed was the three instagram photos on the bright Glitz Design stripes.

 

I loved the colours in this paper with the Bananafish Studio tags. I was planning to add more patterned paper to this but left it overnight and decided that the fairly stark layout was perfect as it was. The wood veneer seemed made for the tags even though I hadn't even read them all when I grabbed the pack for my kit. I may add 2012 to this layout somewhere with an additional font as there are no numbers on the smaller SC font.

Here is a close up of a couple of the tags.

I will share the final layout next week as this is already pretty photo heavy. I have really enjoyed working with the limited selection of supplies and can see this being a great way to scrap really efficiently.

Thanks for looking. Have a great weekend.
