Endless Summer Layout by Zsoka Marko


Thursday, August 27, 2020

Hello there crafters, Zsoka Marko stopping by today to share a new layout with you that I've created for the Paige Evans Design Team! As you know, Paige's new collection, Go the Scenic Route, was released recently, so I'll be using this wonderful new collection! It's perfect because we just got back from holiday, so I have a million new travel-themed (and other) photos!
When I saw this orange/pink paper B-side of Paper 24, I immediately thought of the sunsets at the beach that we often just had to go see because they were too beautiful. Unfortunately, my Selphy doesn't print vivid colors (like not even close to the real colors) but I think this photo still fits that background paper just fine. I generally stay away from scrapping photos like this because normally I don't find collections/papers that go well with them. I'm glad it worked out this time!

I cut the Endless Summer cut file from white cardstock then backed the waves with the different blue tones of the B-side of Paper 15, plus I added the dark blue B-side of Paper 4 at the bottom, behind the letters. I backed the sun with a piece of orange Paper 6 but didn't back the rays because I wanted the background to shine through. I then fussy cut out all the letters from a variety of pink/red patterned papers, glued them on the white fall out pieces from the original cut file to make them hold up better, and added them back into place using foam adhesive.

I chose a few embellies to decorate my page: Chipboard Stickers and Ephemera Die Cuts. Aaaaaaand something super cool! My friend Sandra posted a few buttons on Instagram that she made with the new WeR Memory Keepers Button Press that I'm dying to have - and one of them was using Paige's paper from this collection. So, I asked her if I could have some of those buttons and in two days they were in my mailbox wooohooo!! At that point I had several layouts ready, so I checked which one I could use the button for. I thought the middle of this large chipboard flower was the perfect spot for it :) I wrote my journaling using a white gel pen then I splattered some white acrylic paint all over my page.

It's a very simple page but I think the stunning background paper adds so much to it! What do you guys think? Thank you so much for stopping by today! Have an awesome day!

  2. Hey, hey Zsoka! So gorgeous and I think your photo is perfect too. I love that you can see through the sun rays. I never thought of papering the fall-out letters but that's a brilliant idea for popping them up. I'm hoping my kit arrives for my next project ! So many pretty things 🥰❤️🌸
