I’m back with another 2-page layout using a sketch by Shawn Stiles Lahr for 30 Days of Sketches with Christy’s Beautiful Life Series 14 and Calvinball over at Scrap Happy. I did another spread for part of my birthday celebration month and one of my BFFs took me to Orlando for a fun-filled weekend. We were planning on going to one of the parks, but the last day was very rainy, so we switched gears and did some internet searching for something different to do, but indoors. We found this Titanic Exhibition and decided to go to that and then we went to a chocolate museum. Both were so much fun and very informative, but today’s spread is about the Titanic.
I again used up some old stash which feels so good to get things
used and out of my stash and in an album documenting those memories. I used
several old papers from Gartner Studios. These had a very vintage grungy feel
which worked perfectly with this story. They are very nice cardstock weight. I used
Old World Collage from the Von Voyage collection, and Map from a different
collection that may have been called map collection but I’m not sure about
that. The red paper is the B side of those papers. These are very old papers
and I’m pretty sure I’ve had them long before 2010. Also used a diagonal
striped paper from American Crafts Close Knit paper pad from 2017 and a polka
dot paper from Pebbles Birthday Wishes from 2014. The black paper and the cut-apart were from Basic
Grey Fact paper pack from 2012. The other elements used were a label by We R
Memory Keeps Typecast labels (2016), die cuts from 7gypsies (2013), letters
from Sticko Nostalgiques by Rebecca Sower, stickers from Tim Holtz Idea-ology
Salvage Stickers Crowded Attic (2011), puffy hearts were by Shimelle, clay avocado
pieces are from Tiny Shop Supply on Etsy, faux metal pieces are Crafters Square
from Dollar Tree, and then star sequins from my stash.
As you can see a lot of different lines, designers, etc. but
in the end, I think it turned out pretty good.
