Solar Eclipse!

Hi friends! Happy weekend to you! I'm back today to show you what I did to document our Solar Eclipse experience! I had a blast with my two boys and it really was such an awesome thing to witness. I knew right away that I wanted to incorporate a pair of the glasses on the layout and that Carta Bella Space Academy would be the perfect collection! I had a lot of it in my stash and maybe you do too?! Another great collection with a space theme is Photo Play My Imagination.

I layered a couple pieces of patterned paper from the Space Academy collection and then added a piece of bright white cardstock on top! I placed my photo on first then layered lots of tags and ephemera around it. To make the glasses easier to use I decided to cut off the sides.

The alphas in my title are actually from Pinkfresh Studio's new Escape the Ordinary collection. Find them here! They are leatherette and have a cool texture to them. And it doesn't hurt that the font blends in well with Space Academy. Under my title I journaled directly on the cardstock. I've been trying to make a conscious effort to work journaling into my layouts so that I have more than just a cute picture on them. 

Lastly, I stamped the date (always important) as well as some stars and added some planet stickers to finish off my layout! The stamped stars, moon, and "You're A Star" phrase are also from the Escape the Ordinary collection. Find the stamp set here in the Paper Issues store. Thank you for stopping by! Hope you feel inspired to document your Solar Eclipse experience now!
