Scrapping Saturday – summer shenanigans

It’s Saturday so it’s time to share a scrapbook page I made – I made this in one of the hours I managed to be awake and upright this past week but then ended up back in bed for a few hours from exhaustion – apologies for those listening to my voiceover on the YouTube process video – I am sorry you had to listen to that – but if I didn’t do the voiceover close to the recording I know I wouldn’t remember to do it!

I started with the piece of paper from the Expressions in Ink dsp from Stampin Up that clearly I’ve had a while but finally it got its moment to shine. I love these papers so much but think it might be the first time in using them to scrapbook!

I teamed it with some other old papers from the stash to mat the photo and create a base for the embellishment cluster but mainly the paper for the background is the focus!

I then went through the February and March embellishment kits from Hey Little Magpie and added in some bits from those and then went through the Bramble Fox and Lollipop Box Club kits I have to add in other elements.

The title and the perspectives of the smiley faces were from Bramble Fox club kits.

The vintage cameras I fussy cut from one of the other old papers I had – I thought the colours went well with the swimming costume I was wearing on this very old pic of me – I’ve guessed that it is around 1988 and it is from one of our holidays on Menorca. I love that island so much.

I love adding in the little word and phrase elements to my pages so it was good to bring those into this page too.

A bright and summer page – perfect for the photo 📸

I added the journalling after I took these photos … I popped it just under the top cluster of embellishments next to the photo.

Happy crafting!
