Saturday Share: 63rd Birthday

Hello, dear friends! Happy Saturday, and welcome to another week of Saturday Share.

This week's layout is of my father's birthday 2 years ago. It was just a simple celebration at home, but with his favorite grandchildren all by his side, I think one couldn't ask for more.

When I first saw this colorful numbers patterned paper by Becky Higgins, I knew I would want to use it on a birthday layout. I paired it with another same pattern but kinda tone-on-tone paper of the same collection to bring the focus onto the main cluster of the layout. 

I added another red polka dot patterned paper and outlined the edges with a black pen. The chipboard letter stickers is my current favorite. I have used that on my previous layout, Fairy Tale Like too. 

I only added a little bit embellishments on this layout, since the background paper itself is quite busy.

The glitter 'Celebrate' letter stickers were a last minute addition. Usually I wouldn't use such glittery and colorful embellishments on a manly layout, but I think the glittery pastel matches with the colorful background paper. Some washi and some stickers, a happy layout is done!

I am currently making a scrapbook album for my family. I know they do not know how to appreciate it (yet!), but I believe there will be a day that these precious memories that are captured and scrapbooked will be treasured. Until the day comes, I will keep on being the memory keepers for my family, and hopefully someday, for the family of my own.

That is all for today! Leave me some love if you like my layout, I really do appreciate that. 

Thank you for stopping by and have a lovely weekend! 

Time is precious. Waste it wisely.   ;)

Saturday Share: Fairy Tale Like

Happy Saturday!

Welcome to another week of Saturday Share of Scrapbooking Layout. This week's layout is a combination of Stuck?! Sketches and Picture This!! challenges. 

Stuck?! Sketches March 1st Challenge

The March 1st Challenge for Picture This!! is a combination of 1 Photo + Circles + Tilt, which I think is a fun combo.

I have not made any layouts for almost a month, and really needed some starting point, which is why I have chosen to take up some challenges to kick start my engine. Though I gotta confess, this layout took me almost 3 hours, but I wasn't in any hurry, so that was fine for me.

1 Photo + Circles + Tilt

This layout is a simple one photo layout, featuring the very lovely and fairy tale-like London Tower Bridge. We didn't have time to visit the bridge up close, but was close enough to take a few photos of the bridge after our visit to Tower of London.

Took me some time to decorate the area around the title, as I was trying to bring the elements on the photo cluster up to the title area. Finally came up with something I am happy with.

The Stuck?! Sketches has some decorated vellum elements on the layout, but I only have plain vellum. I decided to add some patterns on the vellum using some chalk ink and a Roller Doodle. It's just a simple details, but without it the vellum seems to blend in with the background paper.

I also did not use any embellishments on this layout, only some washi tape and punches to create the embellishments cluster. That was because I took too much time with the major elements of this layout, and if I were to embellish it further, it might take another hour.

That is all for this post, and thank you for stopping by. 

How do you like my layout? Please let me know in the comments and check out my Instagram for more of my paper crafts creation.

Have a lovely weekend.
