LAYOUT WEEK 2013, DAY THREE: 2/14, 12"x12"

We're halfway through Layout Week 2013!
I hope you're still having fun, because I have another new layout and video today!
 

This one features goodies from the Hip 2b Square Scrapbooking June 2013 Hip Kit + Add-Ons.

 

 

Here's a look at some of the supplies that Hip 2b Square sent to me to use in this video:

June 2013 Main Kit

 

For today's layout, I created this sketch which is perfect for layout with minimal patterned paper:

 





I know this sketch looks kind of like it was drawn by a drunk monkey - all I can say is that it was REALLY late at night when I got to this one.

Here are some photos of the finished layout:



I wanted this layout to have both shiny elements + food elements (because he's trying to eat those chocolate roses). I use glitter Thickers, Heidi Swapp Color Shine and Enamel Dots for shine & Lillybee "Sweet Shop" accents for the food. 

I used both Thickers and a date stamp to reinforce the fact that it was a Valentine's Day layout without getting too into the whole hearts, flowers and cupid thing.

Consider layering embellishments for added depth and texture. Here we have a twine in a button, as well as an enamel dot, layered over a piece of chipboard.

I wanted to have some food elements on the page, so I chose these strawberries from Lilybee's Sweet Shoppe collection. The little heart tucked under the chipboard banners reinforces the Valentine theme, without going overboard. 

I filmed this layout coming together for my YouTube channel. You can watch the video below, or click this link to watch it over on YouTube: 2/14.
