Perfect Day


I have always been a big fan of the Crate ranges, the Neighbourhood one I have used on this page is a really fun collection with a good amount of neutral papers that aren't too overbearing.

I love this photo taken at my friend Laura's wedding, we had a amazing day and I think this photo has been scrapped by all the girls in the photo. I was a bit nervous scrapping such a big photo, as it can be difficult to arrange things around them. I started with the 'Garden' paper as a background, all these papers are very background friendly, I really like the 'Picnic' page, its just asking to be cut up but I really wanted to use some of the square side just to lift the photo off the page. 

Laura had the most gorgeous bunting at her wedding and when I saw this gorgeous bunting stamp by Jenni Bowlin I knew I had to use it, I stamped it onto Kraft and cut it out, it's a really nice size so not too fiddly to cut. 

I added some Maya Road grosgain pleated ribbon to finish the bunting off as well as a starburst punch and the cute buttons from the collection.

I also used the stickers from the collection to add a bit more of a feature in the corner and got to cut that Picnic paper. 

Have you made any pages with a really big photo? If so we would love to see them, if you don't mind sharing why not link them to this post.

I just scrapped an A4 photo yesterday!

Was a bit nervous as to how it'd come out at first, but I'm really happy with the result. It also took up so much space on the layout that I couldn't add my usual lotad of embellishments, so it was a pretty quick layout!
