You & Me!

You & Me!

Hey y’all! Courtney here again and today I am sharing a layout that I created using Autumn Splendor collection. This collection reminds me of my child hood. We always had these amazing vintage calendars in our house and every year when they were done my mom would cut them up to use as ephemera or decoupage the cutouts on something artistic.

For this layout, I used  a cut file from Paper Issues called You and Me and cut it out in black to make it pop off the page. Then I backed the cut file in Seasons if Change, the B side of the 4x4 elements, Grateful Hearts, Autumn Leaves, and the b side of the 2x2 elements. I used the Elm/Cream Ledger paper from the SN@P Basics as my background.

I matted my photos on a piece of vellum and then on the Grateful Hearts paper. I layered them on either side of the cut file.

I created three clusters with another cut file from Paper Issues called Collecting Leaves that I cut out of the Turquoise Dots paper. I then layered different pieces of ephemera from the bits and pieces and the foliage bits and pieces.

I added a few pieces from the 6x12 chipboard and the combo sticker sheet. I always have to add enamel dots and the ones from Say Cheese match so perfectly.

I finished the layout with a little cluster in the top right corner and then splattered my gold mist. I hope you enjoyed this layout and I can’t wait to see what you create.
