Beef on Weck

 

My title, Beef on Weck, refers to a sandwich from Western New York. It consists of thinly sliced roast beef served on a kummelweck roll, dipped in au jus and finished with a side of horseradish.


I wanted to keep this very simple in order to focus on the sandwich itself.

I began by stenciling a hexagon pattern here and there on a sheet of white cardstock.

Next, I built up layers of elements from 49 & Market’s laser cut elements, inking some of them around the edges to add a bit of definition.

And that was it: quick, easy and simple!!!!

It's All About the Pumpkins

 

I’ve scrapped this photo, taken in 2016, before and it came to mind again when I saw the colors and images included in the October LE Kit from My Creative Scrapbook.


I couldn’t decide which piece of patterned paper to use as the base: Harvest from Photoplay’s Autumn Junque collection or Harvest Memories from the Autumn Breeze collection by Simple Stories. In the end, I used both, fussy cutting a lot of the latter and layering bits under the main center section.

The photo was backed with thick cardboard and glued to a slightly larger piece of Bazzill cardstock and then glued to a scrap from my last layout, with another bit of cardboard in between. I placed this on the base.

I cut a few ticket images from the Cozy Season sheet and tucked them here and there on the sides.

I finished my page with a few bits of ephemera and a couple of sticker pieces, using one as my title.

A few closeups:
