Throwback to a Layout made in 2021

 

This layout dates back to 2021 and was a scraplift for Scrap Squad, with the original design from scrapycat_josefine. I remember wanting to stay as true to her layout as possible, which led to a bit of a hunt for materials. To create the shaker pocket, I repurposed a small jewellery bag and used this netting to mimic the original texture.

The papers are from Simple Stories and, at the time, my sewing machine was still working so I was able to stitch directly onto the page. I hand rolled the straw myself since I couldn’t find one in the right colours and I also made the tassel to match.

This layout holds a special place for me because it was the very first time I used the title ‘Ooh Cake’. That phrase came from my granddaughter, who said it with such delight when she was given a generous slice of chocolate cake at my birthday - it was definitely a moment worth capturing and I use the title all the time for any cake related photos.

Scraplifting is to copy or be inspired from someone else's layout - scrap lifting is well received and common in the scrapbook community however it is best practice to give credit to the original creator who influenced you.
