Merry & Bright Layout

Hello! Every year, during the Christmas season, most of the town squares in Puerto Rico are decorated. For this layout, I'm using a photo of my hometown, Isabela, from 2021. I try to photograph it every year, but this is the first time I made a layout of it. To create this page, I used the beautiful December Main Kit from My Creative Scrapbook.

For this layout, I started by choosing the patterned papers to create the layers. Then, I continued by adding the paint to the background by using Distress Oxide Bundled Sage diluted in water and a piece of transparency for the kissing technique. Then, I used black acrylic paint diluted in water for the splatters.

To give some texture to the patterned papers, I distressed them a little.

On the top corner of the photo, I made a cluster by mixing the chipboards, stickers, and foams in the kit. 

In the bottom corner of the photo, I made another cluster around the foam title. 

In the top corner of the layout, I added to chipboard phrases to balance the layout since the journaling will be in the opposite corner. Then, after finishing the layout, I matted it in a black cardstock and tore some pieces of the white cardstock and used mini staples to fix them in the layout. After that, I used a black Sharpie pen to draw a border around the page. 

If you want to see how I made this layout, check the process video here:

This is the finished layout. I had lots of fun making it by mixing all the products from the kit.
