Hiya scrappy peeps! Suzanna here today to share with you a layout created with the adorable “Lost in Neverland” collection using a couple of throw back photos! Nikolas, my now 16 year old son, was 5 in these pictures! And about 5 feet shorter than he is presently. LOL! Time slow down! I can just hear the ticking of the alligators watch tick tocking!
I wouldn’t say I’m a “mixed media gal” per se but I do love texture on my page and one of the best ways to start a page is a little something of the mixed media variety. The stencils that accompany Carta Bella collections always tug at my heart strings and say “Me! You need me, take me home!” and I’m happy to oblige! This page began with the London Sky stencil and some modeling paste. I struggled between a white cardstock and the “Straight On Til Morning” patterned paper with the night sky. As my pictures are already pretty dark (back before I really knew how to take photos without a flash and out of Auto mode), I went with the white.
There are so many wonderfully rich colors in this collection! There is a mix of both 12x12 patterned papers and some from the 6x6 paper pad. The beauty of having both is that you can chose the size pattern you want to add a tad more variety to your page or pages.
Layers upon layers of eye candy behind and around the photos abound on this page. These really aren’t great photos as so I really tried to distract you with the product! LOL! Sometimes it’s just as much about your creative process as it is the story you’re sharing, don’t you think?
The enamel dots that accompany the collection and the teeny little Tinkerbells are perfect to scatter around the page for added color and visual interest to this Lost in Neverland page!
Be sure to swing by my YouTube channel and check out the process video if you are interested!
Thanks for stopping in to today! I look forward to seeing you again soon!
Suzanna
