Awe Inspiring

Hi everyone! Today I wanted to share my final layout with the beautiful June kit from Scraps of Darkness. I have had a ball with the gorgeous papers in this kit! Here's my layout:

I am still catching up on scrapping photos from our vacation last year. We got some beautiful shots of Niagara Falls and I have scrapped a few, but not all of them.

For this layout, I used the patterned paper from the kit to cover some chipboard letters. I simply covered the letters in glue and laid them on the paper. When they were very dry, I trimmed around them with my exacto knife. I used a bit of sandpaper to roughen up the edges. It's hard to get a perfect edge on those, so the sandpaper gave it a shabby look that worked well.

I used some of the stickers across the top along with one of the arrow pieces. I kept having trouble with the arrows falling off my page, so I finally resorted to using hot glue. It shows in the close up photos, but you don't even notice it on the actual layout. I would rather know they are secure than worry about them coming off when I put my page in the album.

For the bottom of my page, I cut some of the green chevron paper and roughened the edges up a bit to give it dimension. I used a bit of the twine to make a circle and topped that off with a heart and two more arrows.

Thanks for stopping by!
