Galaxy Hero

Galaxy Hero

Hello!  It's Rebeca Ruiz with you today and I have a question for you. Have you seen the new collections Simple Stories released? I'm in love with all the additions to the Say Cheese line. They are all fantastic and today I'm sharing a layout I made using the Say Cheese Galaxy collection. I had so much fun working with this collection that after finishing the "Galaxy Hero" layout, I made a second page using the triangles I removed from the black paper. If you want to watch me create the first layout, don't miss the video at the end of this post. The photos of the second layout are also part of this post, so sit tight and get inspired!
I started this layout by choosing the patterned papers. The first one I chose was the black paper because my daughter was posing on the speeder bike and the rays in the paper add movement to the layout. I decided to cut two triangles from the paper and place them on top of the off-white paper with the ships. To add a little bit of color between them, I added a strip of blue washi tape.
I matted the photos with the red paper from the collection. The contrast of color helps them stand out and be the focus of the page.
After that, I added the title using stickers from the 12" x 12" sheet, die cuts, and foam stickers.
I used embellishments from the Say Cheese Galaxy collection that complement the photos and create a scene in the layout. Isn't this collection wonderful to document those memories?
I finished this layout by adding a few enamel dots and decorative brads. The perfect touch!
Now, let's take a look at the process video, and maybe learn something new!
After finishing the "Galaxy Hero" layout I had some black/gray triangles on my desk, and I started arranging them until I found a placement I liked. This idea came pretty fast to me, and I didn't want to let it pass so I printed a photo and created the "Space Wars" layout.
To use three triangles in the middle of the page, I cut a piece of the black paper with the phrase "the force" written all over it. 
 
Then, I added a piece of red and yellow paper on the left side and matted the photo using the other papers from the Say Cheese Galaxy collection. I placed them slightly tilted to create interest in this area.
For the title I used die cut words and placed them on top of the Death Star die cut using foam tape. Then, I embellished the area a little bit using other die cuts from the collection. I love the Mouse Vader, isn't he cute?
To balance the layout, I made a little cluster on the upper right by adding a piece of blue paper and placing some die cuts, and a piece of yellow washi tape.
In the end, I finished the layout by adding a few enamel dots and decorative brads. Take a look at the cute designs on the brads, they are amazing!
With that, I finished the second layout. I love how it turned out and how quickly I made it by using the products from Say Cheese Galaxy. If you have photos of other galaxies, you are going to love this collection, so don't miss it!
Thank you so much for your visit. I hope you like and enjoy these layouts, and they inspire you to craft. Don't forget to come back soon for more inspiration.
