2012 July Layout - OBET

Ok, the 2nd Challenge of Filipino Scrapbookers' Challenge Blog is a given, they provide the layout but with Kaboodle Doodles - what embellishment to use? Already use the handmade heart strings banner and it would be inappropriate for a male layout?

Solution: Create your own banner! I cut some of the violet abaca string from AAS and for the banners, i used AAS ribbons folded and then stapled! To attach on the base, I used AAS clear dots! The AAS clear dots are a bit thicker than other brands, like 3M, but I dont mind since it simply adds a little bit more dimension.

I also used my Mom's stash - I saw that coconut tree on her basket. And then I cut out a small circle with the Island for counterbalance of the coconut tree! The base paper is from a celebrate birthday theme while the blue bottom is a layer from their summer theme which I cut out for use in other pages.
