Scrap Our Stash July 1 Challenge

I played along with a really fun challenge over at Scrap Our Stash.  It was the perfect opportunity for me to dive into (too much of a pun? LOL) my July Flavors of the Month kit from The Scraproom, too!

The Scrap Our Stash challenge is to draw inspiration from the image of (500) Days of Summer, you also must include a sun on your layout:

I was immediately inspired by all of the photos laying on top of each other.  I mimicked that on my page with my small polaroid style photos.    Simple Stories is one of my favorite manufacturers, and the Hello Summer papers & die cuts from The Scraproom's July kit worked perfectly for my page and this challenge, especially that awesome sun!  The background paper from Carta Bella's Summer Splash line was also included in my July kit.  It reminded me of pool water, and I designed my page at an angle with the hope that it appears to be floating in it.

 

A dab of acrylic paint mixed into some texture paste, and a Carta Bella stencil, helped draw in the same brilliant blue as the background paper.  Thanks for stopping by, and thanks for looking!
