Hey all! I'm back from vacation and ready with a new layout for you all. This is an itty bitty one for my Tim Holtz mini book. I started out with some kraft cardstock and dripped some white and gold paint all over the pieces.

Next up, it was time to do the little bit of decoration I was planning for the right side. I added the happy day stickers from the gold foil sticker sheet and then used some stamps from my stash to stamp Kamakura, the city where this picture was taken, in hiragana in the lower right corner.

Now it was time to start building the left side. I really wanted to do some paper layering for this so I grabbed several of the A5 dividers and used the back sides of those for my patterns. Luckily, it was around this time my assistant joined me so I was ready to do some serious layering!

I took a doily along with the papers I gathered and started layering. It took a bit of wiggling and testing, but I really like how it came out!

After seeing it all together, I decided I wanted a bit more dimension to the page so I decided to pop the whole thing up on a bit of cardboard salvaged from an Amazon box. After that, I added the die cuts to the photo and clipped it into the book.
