Loving | Scrapbook Layout Using Studio AE January 2011 Stamps
Tags:
My Studio AE Stamps (a monthly stamp club from Technique Tuesday) for January are a great set of love circles and hearts. Here's a look at the set:
I used a few of them on this full-page photo layout of Anna.
Here's the full view:
HOW TO
1. Print 8.5x11 inch photo. Here's the before image as it came out of my camera:
In Photoshop I cropped and sized it to 8.5 x 11 inches and printed it here at home on my HP Photosmart B8550 printer.
2. Stamp love circles onto cardstock or pattern paper.
3. Punch or hand-cut circles. The main circles are 1.5 inches. The circle that was punched to go inside the metal-rimmed tag was 1 inch.
4. Layer circles and additional heart accents. I love layers like this. It's also a great way to use scraps of pattern paper.
5. Adhere the circle accents using rolling adhesive or foam dots for added dimension.
6. Print or handwrite your journaling along a strip of cardstock and adhere onto the photo. The font I used is Adler. Stitch using a sewing machine.
7. Don't forget the date. For some reason - most likely that I was just trying to be speedy - I forgot to add the date again. After scanning I stamped a date along the edge with a small date stamp that you cans see in the above image. Also, on top of this circle love stamp I added a thin layer of Glossy Accents.

I just received my AE stamps this week, so excited to use them. Thanks for sharing this layout. I LOVE them and look forward to using them soon!
Question: Next steps, do you put this page in a sleeve and then in a binder? I'm just curious with all the embellishments, if they get covered with a sleeve.
Thanks for your inspiration!!

Yes - into a page protector and then into an album :). Everything is protected within the page protector.

I love how simple this layout is and yet you make it so creative and complete with the layers. The layouts of my own that I like the best are simple and have clean lines, but somethimes I feel they are missing something or are too simple/flat. Your layering has always inspired me. It has purpose and repetition and looks balanced. I would love to watch/listen/read along as you walk through your thought process as you add layers to layouts/minibooks - maybe an online class for the future???? (fingers crossed).

I'd love to have the stamp set, it's really beautiful. But I'm sad that I have to sign a six months membership. I don't have the money for that.

I love your love circles. I actually used them two years ago and made a mini album. I decided to repost that project today after seeing your post today. I think I will be making another one!
