Building with Embellishments

Happy Wednesday!  I have been loving the new You Are My Happy collection by Teresa Collins.  It has a gold, pink, and orange color scheme!  So fresh and fun...I am really enjoying using all of the elements in the line.

 

To build today's layout, I used mainly embellishments.  There is hardly any paper on this page, well in terms of 12X12 sheets.  There are so many bright colors and vibrant patterns in the embellishments that I wanted to selectively use paper.

 

I love the thought of creating and enjoy watching my daughter get the bug!  I used a deconstructed grid on this page.  Instead of placing all of the elements in rows and columns, I staggered things a bit.  It was easy to do with chipboard, diecuts and brads.

 

 

I wanted to add a touch of uniqueness to the page so I incorporated some layered scallops.  It is girlie and soft!

 

It is amazing how far you can go using small pieces of paper and embellishments!  Try using more goodies than papers on your next page and watch your creativity get boosted!
