Why I Scrap


I decided to do a page on why I scrapbook.  I went searching for a good single photo layout to try, and I came across this one from Sketches in Thyme.  I thought it would work perfectly with Kristi B's challenge to create a shape outline with embellishments.  Since I was wearing turquoise in the picture, I went with some Authentique Journey for the majority of the layout.  I created the circle with a bunch of translucent/opaque buttons.  Then I layered on the photo and die cuts from Journey.  I wrote the journalling on black cardstock and then finished the layout off with some washi tape and of course inked edges.  

I loved using Journey fr this because some of the words on the die cuts were just perfect for the layout.  Scrapbooking is a great escape for me, so I knew I had to use that one.  And of course photos and journey fit in perfectly as well.
