Use It Tuesday - Scraps!

Time for another Use It Tuesday challenge!  This time, you get to pull out all of your scraps and put them to work!  And I know you have scraps laying around ready to be used.

There are a lot of great projects by the other design team ladies over at Use It Tuesday, so make sure to check them out and then post your own!  And now on to what I did...

A few week's back, my friend Erica was the guest sketcher for ScrapbookSteals.  I only get one of her layouts done that week because of traveling, etc, but I wanted to do both.  And the layout I hadn't done worked perfectly for this!  First I cut some hexagons out of scrap cardstock I had.  Then I pulled out a variety of blue and green scraps and cut them into thin strips.  I slowly got all three hexagons covered and ready to go.  The background paper is part of a paper pack my MIL found at a garage sale.  It has to be at least a few years old for sure.  But, the dark green worked great with the blue and green scraps for sure.  Once I had the hexagons and picture mounted on the cardstock, it was time to embellish.  First up was the top right corner of the photo. I took some more scraps (orange, yellow, and grey this time) and cut out some "funky" stars and a moon to go with the sleeping theme.  Then I tackled the bottom left corner of the layout.  I cut a circle out of the same cardstock I used for the hexagon bases for the journalling.  Then I added two strips left from everything else to that.  I finally pulled out some buttons to add as a finishing touch.

The alphas are plain cardstock, and they were with the things my MIL found at the garage sale.  I first misted them with a home made blue mist and an OA green mist.  Then I stamped them with a fun Unity stamp I had laying around.  I love that the alphas are bigger than the standard ones out there, which is nice with such a short title.

I finished the whole layout up with some faux stitching on the hexagons and some real stitches in the buttons.
