3rd layout using Crate Paper "Journey" - by Linda Eggleton

A big hello to everyone & welcome to the blog.

I am back to share another layout using Crate Paper - Journey collection,

and this time have gone for a non travel themed layout....showing that other layouts can be created with this collection besides travel/holiday pages.

"Hello Sunshine"

I have used the striped side of the Route paper for my background, as I felt it had a lovely feel to it for creating a girly themed page. I've added a touch of subtle stamping using Kaisercraft Morocco stamp & my Gelatos. The large white piece with the blue grid is from the cardboard packaging of the Cork phrases & Arrows - it is a good decent sized piece with versatile colours & pattern,

so why not put it to use :)

I've used a variety of the Journey embellishments - Here you can see one of the Gold foil acetate tags, along side one of the Ephemera tags and then over the far left side I've cut a few of the travel tags from the Voyage paper as well as a Cardstock tag sticker. The little gold triangles are from the Puffy Icon sticker pack. The cluster is made up of Green Tara & Prima flowers &

some of the diecuts from the Ephemera pack.

I have to say that I am not normally one to scrap with bling & metallic type products, but I am really loving all the gold & glitter embellies in this collection - it adds such a lovely touch :)

The frame around the photo is a 2Crafty Polaroid frame that I've turned on its side & painted in white gesso. You can also see some more of the Puffy Icon stickers & Vellum & Cardstock Ephemera pieces.

The title is made up of Cork phrases & alpha stickers from the Cardstock sticker sheet.

And I've also added another 2Crafty polaroid frame that I cut into 2 pieces, and placed it at the top & bottom of the layered papers, and I've coloured these with the same coloured Gelato

as the stamping on the background.

I also used some of the cork arrows at the bottom & top of the page.

The red coloured scalloped strip is cut from one of the cut-off strips at the bottom of each page...and I've also added a strip of Kaisercraft white lace for some added texture.
