Piece Craft Love 500 Subs Celebration Hop - Process 235

It's time to celebrate! Anna from Piece Craft Love has reached 500 subs (almost 600 now!) and we want to PARTY! And by party, I mean make #scrapbookingprocess videos. Be sure to visit my process video for the full list of hop participants AND find out how to enter a giveaway for Piece Craft Love store gift card. Here's what I created using Anna's Take 5 Challenge:

 

The elements I needed to include were: aqua or blue, texture paste, stencil, squirrel, and coffee. I'm sure you can see the aqua/blue colors, and I have a coffee cup that I fussy cut from a Simple Stories 3x4 cut-apart. (I figured it was appropriate for these photos because we were taste-testing maple syrup...so we were drinking something...)

I also used a Doodlebug Designs tag that had a squirrel on it. These were outdoor photos, and squirrels live in the outdoors! 

Instead of texture paste, I used white gesso and a Simple Stories stencil to create a mixed media background behind my photos. I added some color to the mixed media with some Tim Holtz Distress Oxide Spray.

And there you have it! Finished up the title using yellow Bella Blvd Florence alphas (which I am in love with!!!), and this layout is complete! 

I had fun playing along with this challenge, but be sure to see what the other fabulous scrapbookers created and enter yourself in the giveaway! Thanks for looking!
