Hi everyone! Here is another layout I have made for Simple Stories using the Trail Mix collection. For this layout I decided to make a camping ‘scene’ on my layout and to actually make a tent!
I started off by sketching out my idea onto some scrap paper
and then when I was feeling confident, I lightly drew the basic shape of the
tent onto a piece of patterned paper. After a few attempts and when I was
finally happy with it, I cut it out and distressed the edges. I created another
layer around the canopy with some leftover yellow paper from my previous Trail
Mix layout. I distressed the edges of this too, and I added some machine
stitching around the edges of both. I then layered them together and added them
to a white card background.
I then decided to add the two large triangles cut away from
the top of the tent – I turned these over and immediately loved the green
background with the butterflies and moths. I hadn’t planned on adding a
background to the tent, I figured I’d just leave it white, but the triangles
worked perfectly and I’m so pleased I thought of this!
I used one of the Trail Mix Chipboard frames for one of my
photos, and I mounted the other on a yellow journaling card. I positioned these
on the left side of my layout and added the title ‘camp’ from the Foam Stickers
on the right side of the layout.
I then added a number of smaller details: the ‘camp’ hanging
sign at the top of the tent, a couple of tree Cardstock Stickers, ‘camp’ flag,
tent, camera, log, camping lamp. I love all these cute little details that all
work so well together to create a scene! My photos are actually of my children
inside a blanket fort, rather than actually outside in a tent, but hey, I think
it works!!
I added some Decorative Brads to the clusters, handwrote my
journaling and finished off with some splatters of white paint. I absolute love
how this one turned out, it is so cute!
Thank you so much for joining me today and happy scrapping!
