Guest Designer KIM ARNOLD brings us another spectacular layout below with a VIDEO TUTORIAL.

~~~~~     ~~~~~

I have this lovely family photo from Mother’s Day lunch this year. The fairy lights and warm tones of the brick in the background made me think of the grotto paper in the Mintay Woodland collection. I knew that I would be able to use a selection of Dusty Attic Chipboard to build on this theme.

I selected foliage, honeycomb shapes, word strips and disks and a large title from Dusty Attic for this layout. I started by painting all the chipboard elements in metallic or sparkly paints that matched in with the papers. When dry I also added some waxes to some of the pieces. I set everything aside to fully dry.

I fussy cut a variety of pieces from a patterned paper in the collection. The layout came together easily once all the elements were prepared.

I attached the photo with foam tape on the bottom right of the middle of the page. I then layered chipboard foliage, fussy cut elements and die cuts along the left and right of the photo.

I then attached the Broken Bits #11 Honeycomb below the photo with the Making Memories title and a strip from the Word Strips #2 over the Honeycomb.

I then layered pieces from the Hexagons #1 in clusters of three at the top left and bottom right of the photo. I used some of the Word Disks #3 on top of some of the layered Hexagons, offsetting the one in the top cluster.

I finished the layout with some sparkles on the fairy lights on the patterned paper.

There is a process video available on my YouTube Channel to show you how this layout came together: Kim Arnold – YouTube.

I hope you have an opportunity to get some creative time in soon.

Happy scrapping
