Neva here with Quick Quotes June challenge, Celebrate the
Graduate! Whether your graduate is from
college or high school this challenge is for you. Graduations happen from early May all the way
through mid-June depending on your location.
We have two graduates in our home this year, our daughter graduated from
university May 7th, and our son will graduate from high school June
7th. What an exciting time
for both of them.
I choose to work with two collections for this double page
layout, Whistlin’ Dixie and Secret Garden.
I found that the colors meshed together seamlessly and was able to match
the colors in our daughter’s cap and gown.
The design tip for this layout is to back the photos first, then use
what you have left from the 12” x 12” sheet to design the layout. This two page layout was constructed from 5
sheets of patterned cardstock. Two of Whistlin’ Dixie 107, one Whistlin’ Dixie
103, one Secret Garden 104, and one Secret Garden 103. The large 12” strips were cut first, then the
rest was used for the smaller die cuts.
o
The base for the layout is Whistlin’ Dixie 107,
a wonderful slightly textured gold pattern.
o
The left side focal photo is backed with Secret
Garden 104.
o
Secret Garden 103 is trimmed to 1” and is
punched with a border punch for both left and right side of the layout.
o
Secret Garden 104 is trimmed to 4” x 12”.
o
Whistlin’ Dixie 103 is trimmed to ¾” for both
the left and right side of the layout.
o
All the lighter colored cardstock is inked with
Powder Puff Chalking Ink in Cactus.
o
Whistlin’ Dixie 500 and 600 provide the accents
which are trimmed and backed with Secret Garden cardstock.
o
The circles and backing scalloped circles are
die cut in contrasting Whistlin’ Dixie or Secret Garden.
o
Paper Bows are die cut and assembled with foam adhesive
and glue dots.
o
Celebrate the Graduate and Class of 2018 are die
cut from Secret Garden 103.
o
The collage of four photos is backed with
Whistlin’ Dixie 103.
o
The right side Secret Garden 104 is trimmed to 1
½” x 12 and 1/2” for the outside edge.
o
The circles and backing scalloped circles are
die cut in contrasting Whistlin’ Dixie or Secret Garden for both sides.
o
Paper Bows are die cut and assembled with foam
adhesive and glue dots.
