Universal Fun

Today I'm sharing two layouts that use photos from our trip to Universal Studios in Florida from 2018. Apparently I took a thousand photos on the trip and have a lot I wanted to scrap because I have at least one in the scrapbook and two more I just made for the Harry Potter World area.

In this layout, I pulled out some Bo Bunny paper I bought awhile back called Key Lime. I got the 6x6 pad because I love that size since you get all the paper choices for a lot less money than the 12x12 pack. I trimmed a lot of the papers to layer together, which is when using a paper pad comes in handy. They all match! I saw a similar layout in a fall issue of Scrapbook and Cards Today, although they stitched the papers in place and I just drew stitches in. I used black foam accents to tie it all together and added some minimal journaling.

The second layout uses photos from the Marvel part of the park...we are definitely a Marvel Universe family though we will watch DC movies, we never read the comics. I used a ticket and a flattened souvenir penny from the trip to add accents. The comic book washi tape was all I had left from a roll...I think it's literally the only washi roll I've used up!

The paper is actually a Halloween paper and the red dot washi tape is some of the first I ever bought. And still haven't used up btw. I think the dots echo the way comics are printed in the newspaper.

I just finished listening to the memoir Let's Pretend This Never Happened and if you're look for some quirky, hilarious stories, The Bloggess has them for you. Highly recommend!

 

Happy Friday,
