Happy Birthday Snoopy

Hi there. We're back from our holidays. Wow, it seems like ages since I did a post or a layout. We actually came back Thursday last week, and it's taken me a few days to get back into the swing of things.

This week sees the 65th birthday for Snoopy, the Peanuts character. Miss C is a huge Snoopy fan and even had a Snoopy birthday earlier this year. It's so interesting to see how some things are timeless and how life repeats itself - Snoopy was a childhood favourite of mine as well.

I'm starting with this simple layout to get my creativity juices flowing again. I followed the July sketch from My Creative Sketches.

Super Fan

For this layout, I chose the handwritten background paper and added some gesso in a circular motion to mute the background a little. I also added green and pink gelato in the same fashion.

I then cut out two rings of paper and overlapped them on the background. Instead of another patterned paper for the left side of the photo, I added two sentiment cards before adding the title and my journaling.

For the right hand side accents, I stuck down flowers in place of the stars and added some ink splatters.

For the top left corner accent, I added some hand torn sentiments and a few paper flowers.

I'm sure there will be a few more Snoopy layouts and I still have all our holiday photos to scrap and my August kit just arrived today - Yay! See you soon.

 Don't you love the bright summer colours? There's a good mix of blues, greens yellows and pinks to go around. I love the instaframes, which comes in a full sheet of 16.

 There are word stickers and corrugated cardboard stickers, so you can be a bit more creative with your title.

Cut out some of the elements to add more details.

Yum

So much pinkness, so much fun. Makes me want to dive in and take a slurp.

I glittered the clouds here to give that extra shine. I die cut the envelope and turned the flap the other way round to show the other side of the patterned paper.

Cut out some of the ice cream images to add more yumminess to the page.

Extra Elements: Glossy Accents, clear glitter
