Serendipity by Silvana

I love how Silvana made this challenge work for her in her own style! That's what scrapbooking is all about, being challenged but doing it your own way :) Loving also the decorated embellie!

Hey groovy girls today I have to share my take on this month challenge "Serendipity Challenge" and my work is usually clean and simple so to trying to do a background for my layout with lots a little pieces of papers was hard ...I try =) but I couldn't stand the busy background LOL , so this is what I come out with... still a little busy but I thinks it looks fun =)

I had a package of this square scraps in a few colors for a long time and I haven't use it in a while so this challenge was the perfect excuse , first I pick a picture , then choose scraps in some the colors of the trim in the towel that my DD is wearing, and I glued them to a white cardstock .... but I thought they looked all over the place so I got my sewing machine and sewed all around and in between the scrap to make look like one piece of paper (hey check out the thread , it changes color from white to pink I love it ) after I have my background ready glue the pic and star to look for matching embellishments ....and I found this cute hippo that kind of matched my DD's hippo towel( it was a boy hippo but I make it a girl adding a flower and a pink banner LOL) and that's all , I hope you girls give this technique a try too if you haven't yet.
