Happy Travels Scrapbook Layout - Wendy Meffan

What's not to love with a travel layout? The July Fox Box Happy Travels perspextive gives the perfect title for any travel layout. Having been to the Caribbean earlier this year the Tropical Leaves perspextives from the June products were ideal too, along with the Camera from the Sumer Sunnies June products collection. I also used the globe icon stencil to create a background for all the ephemera. The paper collection I have used which goes so well too is Echo Park Time to Travel Collection.

I chose a 3x4 journal card from a cut apart paper in the paper collection and positioned it with my 3x4 photo. This leant itself to the Happy Travels perspextive sitting over it as it showed up well. I used a large piece of patterned paper which was a good backdrop colour wise for my photo and the journal card.

I feel I put this layout together back to front as I kept changing my mind about things! I positioned all the ephemera and used some Paper Snips and then I decided to stencil behind it! I removed it all from the layout and stencilled the globes using Salvaged Petina distress oxide, above and below the photo. I then added the ephemera clusters over the top of the stencilling. I distressed all the edges of the ephemera and then raised some pieces on sticky fixers to give some more dimension to the layout. Between some of the ephemera pieces I tucked in the palm leaves from the Tropical Leaves June products.

In the cluster above the photo I used the camera perspextive from the Summer Sunnies set and I backed it with a paper from the collection and added a puffy sticker in the lens hole. I liked this effect.

I felt the layout was complete but on my final looks I decided to add strips down the side of the main piece of paper. I used the Bramble Fox Office Borders Die #21. I actually the one which looked like a ticket as I felt it went well with the travel theme of the layout.

I do love a travel layout and the products I have used all work so well to create a travel theme.

Do take a look over at www.bramblefox.co.uk to see all the latest goodies. Also remember so many of the products can be used in conjunction with each other.

Until next time... Happy Scrapping!
