What I liked about this sketch was that it would work with my current preferred scrapping size of A4 and that I could include lots of layers whilst keeping the picture as the main focus.
I used Cosmo Crickets tea for two 6 by 6 pad and i just love the page that already looks like layers of paper strips or washi tape - it takes the guess work out of it completely. I also included a red Martha Stewart border to bring out the colour of the tram. The red spots were a happy accident as the cardstock that I punched the border out of was circular and these spots were the leftovers from this page that I was about to bin.
I jazzed some of them up with a green punched heart and then included two journalling spots - one for the handwritten journalling and the other for the ittle which I used my trusty dymo label maker to create. I love, love, love my packaging tape washi tape as it fits so well with all my travel layouts and with the colour scheme.
Click on the picture for a better view as my editing software is on the other laptop and it's not working so well at the moment.
Do you love to use 6 by 6 pads on your layouts too?

awesome scrapbooking lovely,
ReplyDeleteand thanks for the link up :) xx
Actually, I am quite a fan of 6x6 papers as I don't use much in the way of pattern and the 12x12 often seem too big. These work beautifully here, and I love your design too.
ReplyDeleteMel a gorgeous layout....I love how you've layered it up. Congrats on your guest post too x
ReplyDeletegorgeous! love all those pops of red!
ReplyDeleteI love the polka dots and that Martha border! very cool.
ReplyDeleteLovely bright, fresh page! Love the use of the border punch!
ReplyDeleteI adore this layout, such bright happy colours. Budapest is one city I still hope to visit one day so looking forward to seeing your layouts.
ReplyDeleteI'll let you into a secret - I designed the sketch so it would work for A4 easily as I only ever scrap in that size: good to see someone else having a go at doing it that size. Lovely colours! Thanks for playing along with our challenge :)
ReplyDeleteGreat take on the sketch, the colours you've used work so well with the photo.

Great page, love the vibrancy of the red. I thought the dots looked great so was even more impressed when I read that you created them by using the waste from your border punch - I love it when things like that happen on my pages :) Thanks for joining in with our challenge :) xxx
ReplyDeleteLove this. I only scrap in A4 too! Thanks for taking part in the challenge :)
ReplyDeletegorgeous, love the way it converted to an A4 page!
