Remember this, layout by Tania

Hi again, here I am with my 3rd and final post for the month! Can't believe August is almost over, where did that go???? I am loving working with the Shimelle, Starshine, and Crate Paper, Open Book collections this month. They truly are such versatile papers, great for male, female, family, project life, cards, all types of projects!!

My layout was inspired by Nicole Nowosad, over at Big Picture Classes! Her Color mixology class was about using Tertiary colours from the colour wheel on your layout. I was also inspired to break out the sewing machine and dust the cobwebs off, and add a bit of stitching to my layout!!!

This layout is a bit brave for me, as I don't think I would normally use such a busy mix of coloured papers on a layout all at the same time, but just having a few tips about colour, really helped! I also added a piece of vellum behind my photo to soften the layers a little!

From the Starshine collection, I used these papers: HUBBLE, SPITZER, VOYAGER & ORION. From the Open Book collection, I used: PAGES, LITTLE NOTES & MEMENTO.
Some of my embellishments were cut from the patterned paper, & I also used a handful of the totally gorgeous wood veneers from Studio Calico!! They are so cute!!!

The push bike die cut is from Kaisercraft, and I added a little Heidi Swapp Colorshine in Navy, (just a few flicks from the stem in the bottle.) (Have I mentioned that I must have some Heidi on almost everything I make!!!!!!)

So that's it from me here this month, stay tuned for some more inspiration from the other DT girls!!!

And don't forget you still have a few days left to play along with either or both of our cool challenges this month!!!!
