LAYOUT WEEK 2013, DAY TWO: You Are So Wonderful, 12"x12"

Are you having fun with Layout Week 2013 so far?
I hope so, because I have a new layout and video to share with you today!
 

This one features goodies from the My Mind's Eye The Sweetest Thing - Tangerine papers and embellishment that can be found at Michael's.

 

Michael's only have the 6"x6" pads of this paper in the store, but you can still make a beautiful 12"x12" layout from these smaller pages. 

For today's layout, I created this sketch which is perfect for using a 6"x6" pad:
 





Here are some photos of the finished layout:



I love the vibrant combination of orange and turquoise with this high-energy photo. The softer shades of the colors in the papers keep them from overwhelming the pictures.

I used my Nestabilities Pinking Circles Large and Standard Circles Small dies to create this banner piece. Some Stardust gel ink from Sakura adds just the right amount of sparkle to these flowers.

The WRMK Envelope Punch Board can be used to make a great file folder. Here I clipped my journaling to it with a small paperclip to enhance the vintage office feel of the typewriter font (Typenoksidi).

I combined pre-made embellishments with embellishments I made myself from the papers to make this fun cluster around my supporting photo and subtitle. I love the layers of texture and shine here.

 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: You Are So Wonderful.
