Museum Layout Preparation - Laundry Day Addon

This is part 2 of the layout preparation process I am sharing with you this month, you can see part 1 by clicking here. I've glanced through the many photos we have from our working museum visits and I chose some from Summer 2009. I remember my kids loving working at the Laundry at Blists Hill Museum. Roo wanted to go back again several times.

These photos would make a fairly monochromatic layout with the base kit I put together last week. That would work, but in this layout I want to capture some of the joy and excitement the activity produced. To do this I'm going to add a splash of colour, taking colours from the children's clothing as my starting point: Orange and Lavender.

This month's CKC inspiration kids include some layered flags and tags with vintage images, chipboard shapes, orange ribbon, bold alphas and some gold bling. Using that inspiration as a starting point here is the Laundry Day Addon that I have assembled after rummaging through the orange and lilac elements in my stash.

The items are from various kits by different designers:
  • Lace: Catherine Designs.
  • Pegs: The Scrappin Cop.
  • Hanging Heart: Meredith Cardall.
  • Frames: Lenas Scrap Design and My Memories.
  • Stitching; Meredith Cardall and N Beaudreau.
  • Orange Ribbon: Kiss This Designs.
  • Button and Bows: et Designs.
  • Layered Shapes: Jessica Safty
