Evalicious Layout | Insta Moment

This past Saturday was {inter}National Scrapbook Day and I spent a lot of the day scrapbooking and doing Project Life!  I enjoyed it a lot.  I feel like the Dos Equis commercials… “I don’t always scrapbook on NSD, but when I do it’s Evalicious and Lily Bee.”  Hee hee!  I decided to scrap a page about my lunch meetup with my new scrapbooking friend Pearl.  That’s sort of celebrating National Scrapbook Day! :)

I made this layout for the Evalicious blog inspiration post.  It came together pretty quickly using mostly goodies from the new Escape collection!

For this layout, I first spread a very thin layer of gesso onto my background kraft cardstock using a foam brush.  The thin layer allowed it to dry very quickly.  Then I layered some upcycled silver star cellophane (cut from a bag) on top of my gesso to create even more texture and interest. 

Did you know that you can use Evalicious packaging on your layouts?  I upcycled a small glassine bag that was part of some stamp packaging and used it as a pocket on the right side to hold my shipping tag.  I stamped the photo quote stamp from the Hello Photo Stamp Set with silver ink onto the tag and then slipped it into the pocket.  I also stamped onto the glassine and used a pen to outline more definition.  For this layout, I used a bunch of Evalicious stamps to layer and I just love the look! :)



I used one of the new Escape Large Tags for journaling.



One of the things I love to do to create layering and texture is to staple a tab onto a photo.  I also used the hello photo stamp and fussy-cut it.  Then I outlined the shape with an orange Sharpie pen, because I used light gray and the color didn’t pop out enough.  I adhered it to the layout using foam adhesive to make it more dimensional.



And of course, I couldn’t complete an Evalicious layout without using a badge button!
