Hawaii ‘26

Autumn Tones For Summer

Hi scrappers! This week I created a multi photo layout featuring pictures taken on a trip to Hawaii earlier this year. I intentionally tried to print some photos off my camera roll that I could cut down for future layouts. This allowed me to include some lovely details in addition to just my husband and I smiling in every photo.

I started with some goldenrod-colored paper by 49 and Market as my background. This cardstock is incredibly sturdy and was a nice contrast to all the blues in my photos. I used paper scraps in my stash to add the polka dot accent stripe and used a lawn fawn die to make the scalloped border next to it.

I cut down a piece of colorful 8 1/2 X 11woodgrain paper by Aall & Create and tore one edge to make it more interesting. I inked it with some brown ink to make it look a little more distressed. I added some felt leaves by The Paper Studio as well as some ephemera by 49 and Market and Tim Holtz. I used some tag-shaped stickers by Infeel Me and made them feel even more like little tags by adding some brads and fiber to them.

Lastly, the title was created using some big chipboard alpha stickers by American Crafts, and I scattered in some enamel dots and pieces of torn washi tape to help build my clusters.

This page was made for the November Counterfeit Kit challenge. The inspiration kit is above, which is obviously designed for Thanksgiving with all the fall colors and pumpkins That theme didn’t match my Hawaii photos so I created a layout with tropical theme, but using the warm autumn colors featured.

This page was also made for the November Sketch with a Twist challenge at A Cherry on Top Crafts. I liked variety of photo shapes and sizes so I arranged mine very similarly. I changed where the title was since mine was much bigger and wouldn’t fit. The twists to add a handcut, punched or diecut edge which I replicated along my strip of polka dot paper.

That’s all for this week. Thank you for joining me and I will be back next week with a new layout.
