So, lately I feel like I have had a cardstock issue. I feel like I have become more and more blocked into one color cardstock. That being white. And honestly, I don't want to be stuck there. I like neutral backgrounds, but seriously, white only? Sometimes it is awesome to use white because colors really pop off of it, but usually when I get stuck on white I limit myself on patterned papers too because I don't like the cream on the white. I don't know. It is silly really. I love kraft too but that feels like it gets muddy sometimes. I used to use a cream or vanilla background all the time. I like the softness of it. But with my recent leaning towards white, I have struggled with the vanilla.
I broke the white rut Monday night though and after dusting off the vanilla, realized it was PERFECT for my project.
I used Dear Lizzy Neapolitan and Shoreline papers and embellies for the color and LOVE how perfectly it all goes with this photo.
There is some hidden journaling here on a little tag. I was going to have the journaling out but it ended up being kinda personal, so hidden works better.
Anyway, I hope you all have a great Friday and a totally wonderful weekend! I am looking forward to some fresh produce and maybe some time at the pool. Yay summer!
Thanks for stopping by!
Corrie, this is a new favorite for me!! Love it!!
ReplyDeleteThis is fabulous!! Love it!! I totally understand the rut! I get the same way, only my problem is that I can't seem to be able to use any cardstock for backgrounds...I usually end up using small or tone on tone patterns. Seeing how fabulous this turned out, I might just have to make myself step out of that rut and use some cardstock! Thanks for the inspiration!
ReplyDeleteseriously love this ... vanilla was the perfect choice! Isn't it fun when journaling gets personal! Those are the best pages to look back on and just reflect ...
ReplyDeletePure perfection! Love the butterflies and stitching. :) My cardstock rut is kraft. I love white and cream, but don't use them nearly as often as I could.
ReplyDeleteSo incredibly inspired by your work Corrie! Love those strings of butterflies and the vanilla cardstock is wonderful with these colors!
ReplyDeleteLoving the vanilla!! Beautiful work :0)
ReplyDeleteVanilla works so well with all your patterns. Fab page.
ReplyDeletelovely page :)
ReplyDeleteSo many fun things about this layout!
ReplyDeleteThe butterflies on string, the doily behind the photo, and the cloud vellum paper.
Love!
The vanilla is lovely! I like the strung together butterflies too. I almost never scrapbook on white, partly because I am really good at getting fingerprints on it, and partly because I can never photograph it right! x
ReplyDeleteThis is gorgeous! Love the vanilla background and the layers. Thank you so much for the comment!
ReplyDeleteYou are right the vanilla turned out to be perfect for this layout! Great job, and have fun in the pool! Love Penny
ReplyDeleteGreat LO! I love the butterflies and the stitching!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! I can totally feel you on the "rut" - I think we all do that! LOL!
