Adventure Awaits Layout by Heidi Lewis


Saturday, August 3, 2024

Hello friends, it's Heidi Lewis here on the blog to share an Adventurous layout documenting some summer escapades at Bear Lake with my family.
I started with Paper 14 for my background and applied modeling paste through a cloud stencil to the left side of the page. Then I sprayed Moody Mauve Shimmerz over the clouds to help bring some pink into the background to match my photo. Next I cut out the Dreamcatcher cut file from white cardstock and backed it with vellum. The pink tint to the vellum was achieved with ink blending. Rather than backing the feathers, I thought it would be fun to make feathers out of Washi Tape. The feathers were made by applying 2-3 inches of washi tape to either side of a string, cutting the tapes into feather-like shapes, and fringing the sides of the feathers. I left some extra string at the end of each feather so that I could sew the feathers onto the layout. I overlapped a 4x3" photo of my niece with the Dreamcatcher. I made hand stitched clouds recycling a cut file from Paige's Poppy & Pear 4 Layouts Class. I also embellished the layout with star stickers from the Flags & Frills collection, butterflies fussy-cut from Paper 19, Cardstock Stickers, pieces from the 8-Page Sticker Book, and hand-stitched sequins. The finishing touch is the main title, Adventure Awaits, made with a combination of Stickers and Mini Thickers. Hope you feel inspired to document some of your summer memories with Paige's Adventurous collection!

  1. I like the feathers idea with tape. Never had that one. It's cool.
