thursday...use your scraps layout (and a challenge)

Welcome back! Today I have another use your scraps layouts! I've been really enjoying making these layouts because my scrap drawers are running out of space and making card s with those scraps wasn't doing much to the drawers as they were still overflowing!

For this layout I decided to work with hexagons since they seem to be a hot trend in the scrapbooking world right now. I had a problem though because I do not have a hexagon punch or die so I went on Google to see how I could make them without purchasing an expensive tools and found THIS amazing tutorial.


Supplies-
cardstock: DCWV;
patterned paper: Bella Blvd Finally Fall At the Patch, Bella Blvd Christmas Wishes Trees for Sale, Echo Park Victoria Gardens Solids Pink Blossom;
letter stickers: Basic Grey Hello Luscious Mini Mono Stickers;
ink: Tim Holtz Distress Ink (Vintage Photo, Walnut Stain);
pens: Sharpie, Ranger Inkssentials Opaque White;
stamp: Prima Notary Stamp;
tools: Spellbinders Foliage dies, Cuttlebug Leaves die;
other: Sewing machine, flowers from Michaels flower dept

I followed the tutorial idea anyway because I didn't feel like gluing down the pattern papers together plus besides, I had PLENTY of good enough sizes to make each hexagon from a different paper.


I printed my hexagons on white printer paper and adhered 3-6 of then unto different pattern papers. I then hand cut each one of them. It actually wasn't so bad because it was just straight lines. I then lightly distressed the edges with Vintage Photo and added faux stitching around the edges. I added them unto a white, lightly stamped with a script background stamp cardstock because I wanted them to pop.


I used up some silk flowers that I've had forever in my stash. I got them at Michaels' flower dept. a few years back and I still have a few left! I do like them and I thought they went perfectly with this fall layout.


Finally, I made a few fall trees and added them as embellies too. I found something similar on Pinterest some time back and thought I could easily duplicate/make them better by adding stitched lines.
