Fun In The Sun!

Ice Cream Colors

Hi scrappers! I don’t usually create back to back pages. Work, other hobbies and life in general limit my scrapbooking to about once a week. But in honor of National Scrapbooking Day, I’m going to try to create a few more pages than usually since there are literally dozens of scrapbook challenges currently going on at A Cherry on Top Crafts!

This page is made using some photos of my kitty Jupiter. I matched the warm tones in these sunny photos with some peachy papers from 49 and Market and DCWV. I matted the smaller peach square and my photos with white cardstock and then rounded some of the corners on a scrap of heart paper and some polka dot paper from the Hello Little Girl 6 X 8 stack and layered them behind my photos.

I then added some peach fibers and affixed them to the page with little peach brads. I used Carta Bella chipboard stickers from the Soak Up the Sun and Good Day Sunshine collections as well as some dessert stickers from an unknown brand to create little embellishment clusters. I used a stencil by Aall & Create and stencil butter by The Crafter’s Workshop to add some mixed media elements and finished with 2 little clusters of enamel dots.

This page was created for Flasher’s Ice Cream Truck challenge, running until May 18 for National Scrapbooking Day. The challenge is to create a page inspired by one of the sweet treats above. I chose the strawberry shortcake bar because that’s my favorite and to this day I will occasionally buy a box of them from the store. The stenciled elements are meant to look a little bit like the crumbs on the outside of the bar and I chose to use white cardstock to mat my photos and the peach square to simulate the ring of vanilla ice cream inside.

This page was also made for the Soul Scrappers’ May Sketch Challenge. I stayed pretty true to the sketch for a change, including the use of a tag, fibers, and 2 photos.

That’s all for this layout. I may be back sooner than you think for another National Scrapbook Day challenge!
