I had planned to do a "sun rays" type layout at the scrapbook retreat a couple weeks ago. This scrapbooksteals sketch gave me the push to get it done. I literally grabbed the closest picture to me. I don't know if any of you are like me but my inspiration comes from everywhere. Sometimes its the picture itself, other times it's the paper or embellishment and many other times its the sketch or design that's been sitting in my brain from the last time I was up rocking Mister J in his chair. This time it was the sketch. So it didn't matter what picture - I knew I had paper to match.
First I cut the three pages that I narrowed down and but to 7 inches. Then I cut it in half and started making random cuts. I thought I could just use these papers but I wasn't happy with the design on the back so that didn't work out. In other words, you could cut your three papers (or however many you want in your rays), piece together what you want to work. Then you'll have enough for two more "blocks". If you flip to the reverse of the paper then you can have enough for the other side. But I didn't like the back. So I ended up playing with the paper and trimming the excess off.
Supplies used: Bazzill cardstock, Simple Stories Snap life paper & stickers, Stampin Up Cheerful treat paper, Stampin Up Play Date paper, Studio Calico wooden veneers (stars), Freckled Fawn wooden veneers (words & bubble words), Ditto tags and American Crafts Amy Tangerine Sketchbook paper.
Have a great day!
Cathy
