Playdate by Sandy

Hi Sandy back with another layout in the 8.5"x12" format. The colour scheme of brown/yellow/blue comes from the girls' T-shirts and blond hair. I edited the photo slightly to better suit the design : rotating it several degrees and flipping it horizontally to get a diagonal composition from the outstretched arm to the tallest girl's head.

Heidi Swap's paper trim is the most interesting element, for me, in this month's So Cal kit and I wanted to use it in a way that shows off it's 'rufflability' prominently. Cut into two inch sections, it followed the curve of the wood grain circle well and embellished it like the ruffles of a normal fabric trim would. With what's leftover I made a rolled flower for the top right corner to anchor the chipboard banner.

Another unusual product is the Smash divider tab from the April kit. I didn't have any good ideas for them until this layout where the hooks, placed at the top of the page, allowed me to dangle baker's twine and jute convincingly.
