Cool Summer Picnic

Click on the pic to see a larger version! I am really pleased how this turned out. It's the first time I've attempted a scrapbook layout using ONLY Stampin' Up! products. The DSP is from the Summer Picnic pack in the 2008 Occasions Mini (available March 1st). You might not be able to see it clearly, but the light blue paper has a white dotted pattern.

The white photo cards AND the photo corners are held on with 2-way glue (I let it dry before sticking down), so those things can easily be removed and real photos put in and adhered permanently with different adhesive when I'm ready to do that. Also, I used chipboard circles from the OnBoard Accents pack, but you could just as easily punch 1-1/4" circles out of kraft cardstock.

Here's the preliminary sketch I did before starting. As you can see, the design evolved.
