Edinburgh Castle
I chose a very bright and happy color palette: yellow, cream-wood and green. I do not normally go with greens in my layouts so this kind of a challenge to me.
About the sketch, I totally found the inspiration in one of the latest Elisabeth Kartchner's In the Mood to Scrap videos at 2 peas in a bucket. I love how she used round photos and how it totally allows you to play with a unique sketch for multiple photos. When I scrapbooking my travels, sometimes I love to add a lot of photos in just one layout. Because I just can't decide which is my favorite one to document that concrete moment or travel.
The Hello one was very simple to create. By coincidence, I printed my photos with the same size of this cute die-cut from the Lucky Charm collection from Dear Lizzy. So, I couldn't resist to use it. Then I just added some details here and there keeping the same color combination. The background paper from Hey Day (Studio Calico) makes a great contrast to the white cardstock. I like the circles on it which really combine with the round photos and accents of the rest of the page. Don't you think?
