This month the Challenge at Scrap Our Stash is Stars & Stripes. I realized I really don’t have much for stars at all! So for my layout I opted to use striped paper (I’ve got plenty of that!) and embellish with some chipboard stars.
Supplies used: Pebbles pattern paper, Close to My Heart cardstock, Close to My Heart Dimensional Elements – Stars, Close to My Heart Dimensional Elements Alphabet, Close to My Heart Twilight, Honey, and Goldrush inks, Michael’s Rhinestones, and unknown journaling paper.
I often do one-photo layouts. One trick to filling up the page is by adding a border. If you look at this page, the blue strip is the backside of a scrap from the striped paper.
