Truly Great Village Parties

Hello Partygoers.  Are you enjoying the party ? Are you here to see another Jubilee Project ? I have a 12x12 Scrapbook layout to share with you.

As someone who isn't even British, I am perhaps too overly excited about the upcoming Jubilee celebrations. We managed to get some tickets to the Diamond Jubilee Festival at Battersea Park in London through being online subscribers of The Times {happy dance}. I am looking forward to some music, some art&craft, some cakes and my particular favourite, some vintage shopping {yippee}. But there is still a week to go before the celebrations start.

I would like to share with you a layout that I made about my excitement.  I love a village party...my only complain is the copious amount of hog roast!

I have used a photo of an "egg & spoon" race that my boys participated in at our village party a few years ago.

1) I started by identifying three areas on my layout, the photo area at the top, the title in the middle and some journalling below. I am going to use a doilly to mat my photo, so I stamped two further doillies to echo in the title area and the journalling area. The stamps are by October Afternoon Farmhouse collection.

2) Working on the cluster under the photo,  I add some flowers that I cut out of Crate Paper Pretty Party Invitation. From the same range, I added a couple of strips of paper from Confetti and Accent Cuts. I also added a small strip of salmon lace.

 3) Next I worked on the cluster at the bottom. I haved added another flower cut out from Crate Paper Pretty Party Invitation, a small Tim Holtz vial label and a die cut from Pink Paislee London Market Ephemera Pack.

 4) I strung up a few flags from Pink Paislee London Market Ephemera Pack to hang across the layout.

 5) I cut out some Thickers for my title and arrange them under the flags.

6) Once I am happy with this arrangement, I attached everything to the cardstock.
7) I added a label, a used stamp and a strawberry brad next to the photo.

 8) I added a chipboard crown and a fabric covered button to the bottom.

9) And a bit of journalling to complete my layout.

Here is the layout again.

I hope to be back with a lot more party layouts after the Jubilee weekend. If you leave a comment on this post, I will do a draw on 4th of June for you to win a set of handmade-by-me Jubilee buttons.
