Sweet as Sugar

This layout was so fun to create! It started with a sketch from Sketch-N-Scrap . I really liked the idea of the circle in the middle. Then, I remembered seeing a layout awhile ago somewhere with a circle of Washi tape. That's when I located these pictures and it all came together. So much fun!


To make the wreath of Washi tape I first cut out a circle of Cardstock and centered on the 12x12 paper. I then started laying out stripes of Washi across the circle and over both edges. I continued until I had the whole area covered. I then took my exacts knife and cut around the cardstock circle that was now under stripes of Washi. I was then able to peel the Washi off of the circle and save all those pieces. Pretty awesome! (I wish I'd taken pictures during the process now.)


Here's a close up of the layers of Washi. Fun, huh?


I used some glitter thickers for to the title. The word 'as' was difficult to read amongst the Washi, so I put the letter stickers on some cardstock, inked the edges, and pop dotted it so it would stand out.


I love these embellishments!  I've had them in my stash for awhile, so it was fun to get a chance to use them. 

Thank you for taking the time to check out my layout. Please let me know your thoughts.
