Scrapbook Sunday #31 - Sweet Fresh Cuts
I like using my sketch challenges as layouts for my scrapbook pages when I can. I did that for this weeks Scrapbook Sunday share.
I love this picture of Rick and Rebecca!
I took it on our trip to the Smoky’s. As you can see the trees were still bare and it was foggy.
That didn’t matter because we had Rick home for a little while.
I pulled the colors from the gray day and Rebecca’s jacket.
The page base is a 6″ x 6″ piece of Basic Gray. The top was stamped with the background stamp from Fresh Cuts in Basic gray. I stamped additional branches from that set in gray over the background and sponged the edges.
I cut the photo down to 3″ x 6″ and taped it to the bottom of the page. Over it a 1″ strip of Berry Bliss Designer paper was adhered. The top edge was paper pierced and a piece of polka dotted Sherbert Ribbon was layered over the bottom edge.
For the circular layer I stamped a Day to Remember from Sweet Celebrations in second generation Basic Gray and once in full strength of Purely Pomegranate ink. I cut out the gray layer with my round Nestabilities, the Pomegranate layer with the 1 1/4″ circle punch. I taped both layers together and stamped the branch from Fresh Cuts in second generation Pretty in Pink ink. The little journaling I did was done with a 03. black Micron Pen. Both layers were adhered to a bigger Basic Gray Scallop circle, cut again with round Nestabilities.
I stamped the flower from Fresh Cuts in Purely Pomegranate on Whisper White cardstock and cut it out. It was adhered with dimensionals to my circular layers and a pink rhinestone brad (Fire collection) was added in it’s center. Last I taped the circular layers down with dimensionals.

Love this layout! I’m not a pink fan but this color combo works great!!! Funny, on Wednesday night I made 18 3X3 cards with this layout for birthday cards for the school teachers. Fast, simple, and looks good! Thanks for sharing!

Wow, I love how you used the Fresh Cuts set against the dark gray. It almost mirrors the trees around your family. Gorgeous, Gorgeous!! I *must* try this!

What a super photo and loved the way you presented it. Great page. I have never done a 6″ scrapbook but your pages make me want to try. As we have no kids the subject might have to be the dog!

What a sweet page! I love the way the your picture takes up the entire bottom of the page. I think that that is very original.

Beate- I haven’t commented in a while but I stop by almost everyday. This layout is breath-taking! Truly perfection! What a beautiful family and a heartwarming pose this photo shows! I am from East Tennessee and grew up literally in the foothills of the Smokies and I love them no matter what the weather! It is the cloudy, foggy look that actually gave them their name! This layout leaves me with a very peaceful heart! Thanks so much for sharing!

What a beautiful picture. It brings a tear to my eye seeing how much they love one another. I also love how used Fresh Cuts, a stampset I thought could only be used with cards as a scrapbook page. Beautiful.
