Interactive layouts make it even funnier to watch our scrapbooks over and over again!

I had a lot of fun making this one, as a puzzle game, using my page protector as the background...

How to do that kind of puzzle?
I first cut the picture into 12 even squares and then, I draw a grid pattern (at the squares' size) on the protective sheet. I used my sewing machine to stitch over the grid lines...
Then on each square of this grid I cut out, with a little blade, a border of 3mm on the right side, in order to be able to add and remove the photo squares afterwards...

I placed the pictures' parts randomly and decorated the layout with some of my favorite Buzz and Bloom embellishments of the moment... clear acrylics and denim!

Clear acrylics are very easy to use and can be altered to match every style you need to have! I wanted a "cloudy look" to fit the picture, so I put some classical white ink on the back of the clear Acrylic Fat Albert Alphabet and Acrylic Lava Lamp - Small, and paused to let them dry for some time...

I completed the layout embellishment with white inked Chipboard Arboretum: Retro Vine (a part of it) and a Denim Mini Tokens: Going Places (world map)
