Beautiful Sweet Kind Friends Layout

This layout appeared in the Spring 2020 issue of Scrapbook & Cards Today Magazine which you can download for free HERE!

 I used my Bloom Street collection to create this page. I started with the purple floral B-side of Paper 03 for my background and used a toothbrush to splash, spritz, and drop watered down white acrylic paint across the background.

 I printed a large photo of me, Vicki, and Shimelle on my Canon Pro-100 printer with Canon photo paper and trimmed it into a circle. I placed the photo on the lower left side of the background and glued it in place.

 Then I took a new package of Floral Die Cuts and framed them all around the photo. I pushed them around until I liked the placement and used dimensional foam squares to adhere them in place to create dimension and shadows. To make the title I used a combination of Puffy Vinyl Stickers, Puffy Word Stickers, Floral Foam Thickers, and a "beautiful" fussy cut from Paper 04. The floral ampersand is fussy cut from one of the 2x2 Paper Pads. And the teal piece is a sticker strip from the last page of the 4-Page Sticker Book.

 I hope this page inspires you to pick up the Spring 2020 issue of Scrapbook & Cards Today Magazine and my Bloom Street collection!
