So happy together

This layout started out as a few leftover bits and pieces on my scrap desk - some paper offcuts, and a mop-up piece of tissue paper from another project.  I played around with some "not-so-good-probably-won't-scrap-these" photographs... and ended up with something I wasn't too unhappy with!

Over at More Than Words, this is the February challenge:


The Insta-square ampersand was the perfect design element for this collage-y page, and I also found the title in the same packet.  I did a bit of fussy-cutting to fit them to the page, and went over everything with my sewing machine.  Then I just kept adding a bit of this and that, hopefully stopping just short of chaotic!  A significant departure from my usual style, but it was SO FUN!


Materials
Cocoa Vanilla Sugar & Spice - Garden Girl patterned paper
Simple Stories Homespun - Insta-squares filler cards
Simple Stories Homespun - Insta-squares title card
Green Tara 38mm Mesh - Orange ribbon
Paper clips
Ranger Dylusions - Lemon Zest ink spray
American Crafts Thickers - Lullaby foam alphabets
Yellow chevron washi tape
Painted wooden flower buttons

My favourite part is the big, fat ampersand!



I'm also sharing my layout at:

* Scrap Our Stash ~ Tic Tac Toe 
I used the diagonal row: RED + HEARTS + MIXED ALPHA TITLE

* Simon Says Wednesday ~ Colour of Love
Is this colourful enough?

Thank you for visiting my blog!
