Scrapbook page inspiration

So I promised to show you the inspiration that came from the scraps of Zoeys 100 day project.  I decided that the strips from punching out the circles would make a great background.

Even the leftover punched circles will be used on the layout somehow.

Here is the beginning the stages of the layout.

I needed to add a resting place for those little pics, so I created a horizontal band with the inks. 

Luckily, the inkpads are round, so it lended itself perfectly to put directly on the page to create that soft texture.  I'll be printing out a portrait orientated 4x6 of Zoey and her finished project to add on the right.

Here I added a journal card and a blank piece of white cardstock.  I also took one inch strips of white cardstock, tore them, and colorized them with the colors Zoey used in her project.  I stapled a few of the punched circles to the main photo using my tiny attacher.

Here is the finished page.  I stamped a few sayings from a couple of Stampin' Up! stamp sets, journaled on the big lined journal card, and used glittery foam Thickers for my title.  Overall,  I am very pleased with how this layout turned out.  I am most excited about the fact I was able to use the leftover pieces of Zoey's project, which would have been recycled, to make a layout to remember her eagerness to craft and fashion her own project.  Oops, I just realized that I forgot to stamp the date on the layout.  Oh well, I'll have to go back and do that.  Until we meet again, happy crafting!
