National Youth Week

I've had these photos from National Youth Week printed out for a while but I didn't really know what I was going to do with them.  I decided it was time to scrap them and move on, so I picked a few different challenges to inspire me. This is the layout:



The July stash challenge at Scrap Our Stash inspired my choice of materials ~ always a good feeling to rummage through my stash and find something just right for the job!

P ~ Pebbles roller stamp (stamped journalling)
H ~ Hello sticker
O ~ October Afternoon paper patterned paper
T ~ Twine
O ~ Orange stickers
S ~ Stars

My layout also fits the criteria at Picture This:  2 photos + red, white, blue + stars.

For the July Scrappy Friends challenge, Rochelle's Tic Tac Toe:  Twine, stars, celebration theme

Materials:
October Afternoon Sasparilla - Pony Express patterned paper
Cocoa Vanilla Flying High stickers
Twine
Pebbles roller stamp
CTMH Black dye ink
MFT Die-namics - Little Lowercase Letters alphabet dies

      Thank you Sherri. I love the contrast of the white too. I was a bit worried the title would get lost against the patterned background but in the end I think it worked :)

      Hi Caroleanne, thank you for your kind comment. I used Helmar's Professional Acid Free Glue (a white wet glue - dries clear) and I love how it sticks almost anything! It was a bit fiddly to get it right but so worth it :)
