Hello! Happy Monday! Welcome back to the Papermaze blog. ScrappyAdam with you today! I am working with Doodlebug 'Fun at The Park' for October and I have to admit, this is another favourite collection for sure - so cute!
I took inspiration from a sketch from Lisa Sikorski at Scrap a Sketch and a challenge from Dotty About Flair and decided on three papers for my background - Mini Dot (the red that the layout is matted on) and Say Cheese and Movie Stars for the three torn background elements.
It's quite a simple layout. For the background, I tore both papers together to ensure I got the correct tear on both papers and then used two parts of the B-Side of Say Cheese for the top and bottom and one part of Movie Stars for the middle.
I went crazy with my matting and have six mats on the photo using various papers from the collection.
I decided to create a shaker pocket for the left of the photo. This was simply done by cutting a frame from B-Side of Mini Dots and a 3x4" piece for the back and then using some acetate to cover and some Buttons Galore and More Mickey Heads as the shaker element. I added a Shaker Pop from the collection on top of the shaker element.
It was then a case of getting to work digging for embellishments! I opted to use some flair from Dotty About Flair for added dimension and they matched perfectly! Most of the embellishments came from the two ephemera packs - chit chat and odds and ends. I did also make use of the enamel sprinkles and some stickers too! I have used lots of phrase strips and banners. My title came from the chit chat pack.
There is a YouTube video with this layout if you'd like to take a look, you'll find that here. You can find the full collection here as well as all the Doodlebug goodies here.
Don't forget, it's the Papermaze Autumn Sale right now - there's tons of goodies at 50% off (I am finding it hard to resist!!).
I'll see you back here for some more Fun at The Park next week.
Stay safe and take care!
