Crater Lake

Hello everyone,

I recently came across the innumerable Scrapbook Challenges that are available in blogland.
These challenges are a very good guide for a beginner scrapbooker like me...

I made another scrapbook page recently...for our trip to Crater Lake...
It is a beautiful place...the combination of Snow covered mountains with lake water is just ethereal... so peaceful and serene....

The Stuck?! Challenge has a lovely sketch this month...Its so much easier to create your layout when you have a sketch to follow...
Also the ScrapMuch? Challenge has a beautiful colour theme this month...I chose the three colours... dark blue, light blue and beige from the theme....


I created a circle with words that came to my mind when I thought of Crater Lake...
I drew concentric circles around this with light blue gelatos...to give it more interest...


A peek at the different layers and elements of the layout...


The blue paper in the background was coloured with dark blue watercolour  and torn.
The beige colour paper is a pattern paper from a local store...
Finally added some sequins and wooden embellishments...



The colour theme and the sketch:

        

Hope you all like the layout....
Your comments and suggestions are most welcome...

    Greattttt layout! I loved those pictures overlapping and the words you wrote on the circle. The patterned paper looks amazing and minimal embellishment adds emphasis on the picture! :)
