Scrap Simple giveaway--Day 2
It’s the second day of our book giveaway for our latest release, Scrap Simple
by Hillary Heidelberg. I found inspiration in a layout Hillary created
in which she used a photo from when she was a little girl playing on
some rocks on the coast of Japan.
I liked the idea of scrapping a photo
from childhood days when my blissful, pink-and-purple world was filled
with hearts, flowers, rainbows and all things girly. Flipping through
my photo box I came across this little gem of me sitting on my parent’s
bed, dressed in pink and donning my dad’s policeman sunglasses. (He’s
not a real policeman—I guess back in 1980 he just wanted to look like
one...and apparently I did, too!)
This simple page looks like it has a lot going on but was actually
really easy to create. The patterned paper has a garden of flowers at
the bottom that I easily adorned with a few silk flowers with brad and
button centers for a little dimension. I secured the photo with four
brads and the remaining embellishments are simply stickers I found in
my stash. It couldn’t have been easier! And the thing I love the most
is that the photo matched this piece of patterned paper that reminds me
of the colors and warmth of spring (I like to keep little reminders
close by so I can get through the chill of these next few months).
The simple handwritten journaling reads: Me at 3 years old dressed in Strawberry Shortcake p.j.’s and Daddy’s sunglasses.
