Adventure is Calling: A Vintage Styled Travel Scrapbook Layout

I just love a beautiful sunset.  Here in Bronco Country, we cherish them.  It's why the Denver Bronco's colors are orange and blue.  But I will take a gorgeous sunset anywhere and as a traveler, I've seen sunsets all over the world, including Washington D.C.; Vienna, Austria; Prague, Czech Republic; Aukland, New Zealand and Sydney, Australia!

Adventure is Calling:  A Scrapbook Layout by Alice Scraps Wonderland | A gorgeous northern California coastline sunset gets the vintage treatment in this scrapbook layout.  Pretty Prima flowers, a Basic Grey garland and BoBunny layered chipboard stickers add dimension and texture.


My sister and brother-in-law captured some pretty amazing northern California coastline sunsets while on a trip a few years back.  I've really enjoyed scrapping these photos and finding papers and embellishments to match.

First I started with a piece of patterned paper and using a stencil, I applied modeling paste to the center of the page.  I then misted and dripped on Prima Color Bloom mists in golden hues and also a little bit of Marion Smith Designs Color Lab in corvette.

Next I added a Prima journaling card, K&Co Smash card and paper strip then cut the photo to a 4x4" square.  I added a Tim Holtz hinge clip to the top of the photo then adhered the photo to the journaling card with tape glue then began layering on the embellishments.  I clustered Prima flowers, My Mind's Eye buttons and a Simple Stories brad in one corner and added a few Marion Smith Designs floral stamens in yellow glitter.

Along the bottom of the journaling card and photo, I placed a Basic Grey banner.  I used a brad to tack it down on one side and BoBunny layered chipboard stickers on the other.  Then I added the metal Tim Holtz tag with jute twine and hand wrote "Adventure is Calling You!" underneath.  Finally, I added sequins, enamel dots and Prima jewels.
