One of a Kind using Celebr8 Just Be You by Kerryn Fry

Hello everyone!Today I am sharing another page created with the amazing paper pack Celebr8 Just Be You.
The photo of my beautiful niece was takenon an adventure with her Mum in August 2021.They were on the search for snow near their home in country Victoria.

The base of the page is my usual 

12x12 Bazzill Kraft cardstock.

I've layered the patterned paper

pieces under the photo, balancing

the solid colours with the lighter patterns.

At the top of the page, I've added a torn strip

of the foliage paper and some hand cut pieces,

the Hive, the orange and some leaves.

Using a gold pen, I've add some

fake stitch lines to random elements.

I've created three main embellishment

 clusters on the page using with the 

hand cut elements from the papers.

The quote is from the barcode strip and 

has been cut into 3 parts and added to the

'blank area' of the photo with foam tape. 

I've then used Ranger Stickles Glitter 

Glue in Crystal to highlight each letter.

The hand cut hexagons in varies sizes

have also been lifted with foam tape

and the 'Unstoppable' tab.

On the the left side of the photo,

there are some patterned paper banner 

pieces that have been outlined with gold pen.

I've added a leafy corner piece

to frame the left side of photo and added

some Tim Holtz quote pieces.

At the bottom left corner of the photo,

there are larger hexagon pieces

and orange slices. More gold highlights

and Stickles Glitter Glue.

Love the sparkle! 

The third cluster is the bottom

right corner of the photo.

More orange slices, a hive piece,

leaves and the title piece.

All of the elements have been 

hand cut from the patterned papers.

The title 'One of a Kind' fits perfectly.

I've added a border with gold pen

and lifted the piece with foam tape.

There are a few more Tim Holtz pieces

added under the title.

As a finishing touch to the page,

I've add extra highlights with the 

Stickles Glitter Glue in the flower centres

and spots  on the patterned papers.

Thank you for visiting the blog today.

I hope you have been inspired by the page

and have a relaxing, crafty weekend.
