Special Memories Scrapbook Layout

Hello, Connie Nichol here today  Sometimes you just have one special photo that you would like to showcase on a scrapbook page.  I've been storing this particular picture since 2008.  We took a family holiday to an all inclusive resort in Mexico that year, and every day, two people would walk the grounds with a camera and an exotic animal of some sort.  They would take your picture with that animal, and then you had the option of buying the picture later.  Well, we bought this one because we thought it was cute and I finally got around to scrapbooking it 9 years later.  Time certainly flies!

The Way with Words dies 'Special' and "Memories' make a perfect page title for a one of a kind photo.  Here's Memories, it's packaged by itself.

I took the word 'Special' from the Special Moments set.  

I used patterned paper from Bo Bunny Faith collection - the colours are bright and beautiful.  I added some texture to the background by stamping with a potato masher and white paint, and a corn on the cob and yellow paint.  The effect is subtle but kind of cool.  Household supplies sometimes make the best stamps!   The paint dried quickly, and then I added the photo and a couple of bright butterflies cut with another Elizabeth Craft Designs die set.

A little bit of washi tape and some journaling and done!  Happy Scrapbooking!
