Hot off the Press Steampunk Train Ride layout as August Lasting Memories Guest Designer

Hello and welcome to my post today as guest designer for Lasting Memories. I am so excited about all the fun challenges this month. The first challenge this month is LM #713 - The Games of the XXXIII (33rd) Olympiad - create two or more clusters of three+ embellishments on your layout.  I did all that on one page but continued the cluster them on page two as well.

Here is the sketch I used from the Creative Memories latest Virtual Crop.

A close up of the title and cluster #1  I stamped a train image from a very old Stampin Up set All Aboard.  I added some brads and button like embellishments.

I used some borders I had laying around. I am in the midst of organizing said borders.  It seems like border packs just get piled up in my craft room if they don't match a collection.  I decided to put them in sleeves in my scraprack under borders. I think I will be flipping through a lot once I get them all organized.  Then I added puffy stickers I procured at the Dollar Tree.

More Bo Bunny brads and Crafter's Square puffy stickers in this cluster.

I stamped and lightly colored another train image for the other page.  I have some miscellaneous ephemera on the pages too.

The last cluster utilizes an old stamp some ephemera and more brads and buttons. 

Ingredients:

Hot off the Press Steampunk paper pack

7 Gypsies Camden Paper:  Greenwich

Basic Grey Heritage Elements stickers
