Hello! I’m glad you’re joining the SpiegelMom Scraps SCRAP IT OFF Anniversary & Design Team reveal blog hop! You should have arrived here from Laura Rumble’s gorgeous blog. During this event three new sequin mixes, a free exclusive cut file, and the new design team (including me!) will be revealed + prizes, yay! If you happen to be joining the blog hop right here, be sure you check out the rest of the designers. Oh and the fabulous products in the SpiegelMom Scraps shop – some of which are pictured below!
My designing time will officially begin in August. But, new members get to feature their work today! I thought since I’m introducing myself it would be fun to create a “getting to know me” type layout:
That bold Basic Grey background paper inspired me to use circles throughout. I made a quick template from a circle punch to create a stencil to use with Shimmerz Dazzlers in Spun Sugar. Next, I handstitched on some white cardstock to lessen the effect of the graphic background. I punched out a spot for a shaker pocket (swoon) where I used the exclusive Peachy Sherbert sequin mix. You can see it in the product photo above in the top left corner.
I used some washi tape and a painted on strip of Shimmerz Dazzlers I Lilac You where the papers meet. I backed my photos with circle cut paper (side note: layering circular pictures is HARD) and started adding embellishments.
I loved the challenge of embellishing multiple pictures without making the layout too busy. This cloud feltie was perfect for my “hike” picture. I used some stamping, sprinkled that same sequin mix across my page, added a few things from the Crate Paper Hello Love collection, and a few wood veneer pieces.
That adorably tiny clothespin holding my silhouette-cameo-cut title is also found in the SpiegelMom Scraps shop. All products found there are linked.
