Family// Sparkler Evi

Hello my Scrappy friends! Being a busy full time working mom to a strong willed almost 2 year old is exhausting. I know I am not alone. I found time to scrap a wonderful photo of my little family when our daughter was 9 months old. It was easier to take care of a 9 month old. lol. This layout I am showing Happy Vibes and Dragon Tales sequins from the shop on a Paige Evans cut file.

I used a rose/mauve colored card stock through my Silhoutte Cameo for the cut file in order to match colors in my dress in the photo. I backed the cut file with white for contrast. I then began adding sequin in the circle areas of the mandala. This part takes time, so do not rush.

For added detail, I also used Nuvo drops in gold and a purple. I love alternating the sequins and Nuvo drops to the cut file.

The cut file was such a statement element for the layout, I wanted to keep the rest of the embellishments simple. My trusty collection of Maggie Holmes florals sits on my desk.

When I added my photo, I rounded the corners of it and the mat. It softens the look.

I let all the sequins dry fully before moving it. I did not want any to fall off. I went through my thicker collections and chose the word ‘family.’ One word sums up the love of this photo and my little family.

Thank you for joining me. If you’d like to make a purchase, use code Evi15 at checkout.
