Hello October Oct 2020



 

I was inspired by the color palette on the mood board as well as the center column of the board. I wanted to recreate the rhythmic pattern the cityscape image creates at the 1/3 bottom of the page, and the two different sized circular images at the top 2/3 of the page, and reflect that on my layout. I really loved the egg shell blue color in the palette.

This fall, (and the entire year thanks to Covid) my husband and boys have spent a lot of time together running and biking along the D&R Canal on the Delaware River, while I’ve been recovering from an injury. They always send me photos while they are traveling along the river so I can enjoy the leaves and colors of fall simultaneously to them.


I also submitted this to My Little Scrapbook Store’s Halloween challenge crop 2020 #10.

Cliff walk double Oct 2020

 


Almost done w my 2019 New England vaca album and took advantage of this multiple photo layout to document a lovely afternoon walking along the Newport, RI Cliff Walk. There was so many amazing pics to take it was hard to decide what to use, which ended up being reflected in my resulting disorganized layout. I rarely mount photos without mounting on a small border, but made an exception this time to highlight the varied patterned paper. Can’t wait to visit again someday and tour the mansions.

I rarely stick to one collection, but this layout is an exception. I used almost exclusively Vicki Boutin’s Let’s Wander patterned paper, mixed media paper, stencils, journal tags and fussy cut vellum flowers from the collection packaging.

In addition, the following items added some details:
Wood and sticker arrows from the Urban collection and sapphire twine from CTMH, Kristine Teanse, Easton PA consultant.
Vintage Nuvo Emerald Isle drops, nuvo metro grey hybrid ink, embossing pad, and Nuvo sun kissed copper guiding flakes from My Little Scrapbook Store.
Distressed Oxide speckled egg and hickory smoke.
Fineline Red Top glue from Paper Issues.
Simple Stories leaf stencil.
Pop-up dot stickers. Crafters Square from Dollar Tree.
Crayola watercolor pencils.
Washi tape from Stampin’ up.
Date Stamp: Staples.
Page Tab Sticker: Traditions DCWV. HSN.
foamies sticky back foam sheets.
ATG glue: unknown.

Below was the sketch I based my layout on. I will go back and journal once the album is complete.
