Hello scrappy friends! Phil Donahue here back on Paige's blog with my first layout not to feature a cut file! This time, I'm using the Adventurous and Blooming Wild collections to scrap some family photos of my sister, brother-in-law, and niece with a technique I've been wanting to try for a while now: a shelf layout!
This page is heavily inspired by the popular 'grandma-core' aesthetic because my younger sister loves gallery walls, kitsch decor, and vintage knick-knacks, even though she's barely passed 30-years-old! To begin, I used Paper 11 as my main background because the rich navy and dainty florals remind me of a traditional wallpaper you'd find in a grandparent's home. Next, I added an 11" square of creamy beige cardstock to the center of the paper - this serves as the perfect backdrop for all the embellishments to come. I adhered three strips of woodgrain paper to the page using adhesive foam strips. I matted four photos and various patterns and images with frames from Chipboard Shapes pack and Mini Frame Stickers then added them to the woodgrain strips. Next I found various patterns and shapes to cut into stips which would later be adhered to resemble books! This is a great way to use up lingering branding strips. Lastly, I went through embellishments from all of my Paige Evans stash to add cute clutter to the shelves. This is a great way to use random ephemera that may not fit in most layouts. Final touches were adding tiny foiled hearts on a few book bindings and a title using the Adventurous Puffy Phrase Stickers. I hope you find some inspiration in this layout and try it out to use up some fun embellishments you've been saving for a rainy day!
