Take The Trail
Hello, and welcome back to my blog! Today I'm sharing a layout I created with the Stick It Down April 2022 double page sketch:

And here is my completed layout:

I am back to documenting stories about our family walks - I find nature so therapeutic, and this is something we really enjoy doing as a family!

These photos were taken last September, when the weather was still mild and the colours haven't started to turn yet, so I decided to go with predominantly neutral colours and patterns with a hint of fall here and there.

As the rest of the photos from this day out were scrapbooked using the Jen Hadfield Peaceful Heart collection, I thought it was a good start for this layout, too. I used some patterned papers from this collection, as well as some leaf embellishments, which I cut out of one of the papers with my Silhouette Portrait and my Pixscan mat.

I added the woodgrain patterned paper and journaling card from the Simple Stories Hearth and Home collection, and some ephemera and acetate pieces from the In the Leaves collection from 49 & Market. I also used two 3"x4" cards from an old Pebbles collection - one of which I used as the title, and some Altenew enamel dots.

Sticking strictly to the sketch when changing the format from 12x12" to A4 is always difficult, and hence I had to make some changes to this layout, too.
On the right hand side I used one photo and one journaling card, instead of three photos.

On the left, I replaced the two large vertical photos with six small ones, and the large photo on the far left with a journal card, which I used as the base for a large embellishment cluster.
I really wanted to use lots of layering and embellishing on this layout, so I reduced the number of photos, in order to accommodate the embellishments.

I hope you find my layout inspiring. Don't forget to keep checking back to the SID blog throughout the month for more inspiration! Thanks for visiting, and happy scrapping!
