I joined a challenge on TwoPeas to create a layout every day in August. I started strong, but have since fizzled a bit. Still, it’s been super fun! The organizer posts a prompt for us every day and they’ve been great fun to attempt. The first challenge was to use circles. Lots and lots of circles.
For a long time, I’ve had this idea for a layout, but I’ve been too afraid to try. I decided if there was ever a time to give it a go, this was it! I started by layering the papers and photos. It’s a hodge podge of lines. I think Sleigh Ride by Crate Paper (blue paper, journaling card, vellum tag); The Pier by Crate Paper (brown paper); October Afternoon (letter stickers, label sticker); Studio Calico (butterfly wood veneer); Prima (red flowers); also paint, gems and ink. For the life of me, I can’t remember the name of the green paper. It’s from a Christmas line from a few years ago. I can try to track it down if anyone is curious.
Then I put paint on the rim of my mixing bowl and crossed my fingers. lol. Luckily it worked. I considered taking pictures of the whole thing but I was sure that would jinx it. Also, I’m not an octopus.
Then I went through and added embellishments along the circle. Lately, I’ve been focused on 3 embellishment clusters, so I think this was a nice change.
I cut this tag into 3 pieces so I could use it in multiple areas on the page. Worked great. I wish I knew who to credit this design with. I know I’ve seen similar things many times, but it was before Pinterest so who knows where. 🙂 If anyone has a good link, post it in the comments and I’ll add it.
