Dearest Gentle Eater.... a Bridgerton Scrapbook Layout

 

Dearest Gentle Eater…..

I couldn’t resist a cheesy pun for this fun layout about my love of Bridgerton and fancy desserts!

I am using the “Bon Appetit”  kit from Hearts N Crafts 

  

I enjoy these kits for a number of reasons - - they have so many fun themes, they can be used just as they come for an adorable layout, or can be adapted to fit your own personal style.

The kits are made with high quality paper and come with solid cardstock.  The elements are all pre-cut. 

While this kit has a very French/Paris feel at first glance, I knew I wanted to change it up to do a layout about Bridgerton and fancy desserts! To add to the Bridgerton vibe – I added elements from my stash in Bridgerton blue.

How I created this layout:

• Trim patterned background papers 1/4” on each side, adhere to black cardstock to give a nice border
• 
  
  

I knew the photos I wanted to use, and that I would have a lot of journaling – so I decided to go with 3 x 5 photos and journaling area

*Designer tip - - I have a bunch of scrap copy paper cut into 3x5, 4x6 and 5x7 sizes so I can try different layout configurations – just because a kit shows you a 4x6 photo, you can still change it up!

Page 1:

• Print (3) 3-1/2 x 5 photos with border
• Mat on pink cardstock
• Adhere matted photos – about 3” from top of page – arranging them evenly across page
• Using pop dots or foam tape, mount “Bon Appetit” title die cut above center
• Using pop dots or foam tape, mount café table on lower half of page
• Sequins and Dew Drops randomly added for a little sparkle! Along with some crocheted flowers (thanks, Colleen Lovette!) to bring in the “Bridgerton Blue”

Page 2:

• Print (2) 3-1/2 x 5 photos with border
• Print or write journaling on 3-1/2 x 5 cardstock
• Mat photos and journaling tag on pink cardstock
• Attached matted photos and journaling tag to layout (I did play around with placement quite a bit to make sure the chandelier die cut hit in just the right place!)
• I used Slim Alphabet dies from Photo Play to create my title
• Attach chandelier die cut at top center of page, overlapping photos
• Using pop dots or foam tape, adhere L’Amour and poodle die cuts to lower left bottom of page
• Finish off with sequins and Dew Drops
• I again added a crochet flower to bring in that “Bridgerton Blue”

I did leave out the Eiffel Tower die cut -- that will be used on a future layout or card.

Thanks for stopping by today – I hope you are inspired to make a scrapbook kit your own!
