Happy Thursday, MLS friends! It's Robyn Schaub, here to share a layout I created with the Keepsake collection from My Little Shoebox.
I'm always a fan of bright colors, and the Keepsake collection has some of my favorites: yellows, pinks and a beautiful shade of turquoise. I wanted to find a way to mix all the lovely colors and patterns without making the layout too busy. So I decided to cut some small strips of my favorite papers and use them -- in small doses -- along the bottom half of the layout.
I cut all the strips to an equal width so they would have a balanced feel, even though there were competing patterns and colors. Then I handcut some matching frames from the Picture Perfect paper to layer on top, using foam tape to give them a little dimension from the page.
To finish, I added cardstock alphabet stickers for the title and a few of the bird stickers.
The gray polka dot paper in the background helps to ground all the patterns and provides a perfect mat for the photo.
Don't be afraid to play with patterns and color on your next layout. You'll be amazed at what you can create!
Have a wonderful day!
Supplies used: Window View, Garden Delight, English Rose, Picture Perfect, Simple Treasures, Cherry & Fog, Keepsake Cardstock Stickers, white cardstock, foam tape
