May Use It All by ScrapChat Designs - Make Me Happy.

This month we are using the Make Me Happy Sampler for the MyMemories Use It All Challenge, along with the optional mermaid journal card and mermaid element.

Back in the day, when I taught paper scrapbooking, many of my classes were layout-based rather than focused on one specific technique like ink, glitter, or stamping. In those layout classes, I often challenged students to step out of their comfort zone and use papers or products they might normally avoid.

Bold patterned papers were difficult for many scrappers, and I put that same kind of thought into the sampler each month. Large, bold prints can feel overwhelming, but they can also add so much movement and personality when they are used in smaller doses.

For this layout, my favorite papers were, in order:

1. the stripes
2. the hearts
3. the swirls

I used them proportionately on my page. The swirl paper became small strips down the side of the layout, with the cardstock showing between them. It created a really fun look without letting the boldest paper take over the page.

 


The top left square is actually the journal card with the mermaid tail on it. I rotated it 180 degrees and used the upper portion almost like another solid paper. Then I stacked the other elements to create a cluster and gave my optional mermaid friend a little place to hide.   I used the other journal card to create a label for the date and place of the photos.
