Remember This | Scrapbook Layout

Tags:

Yesterday I felt like making a layout.

An 8.5 inch x 11 inch layout that included a bit of digital, an enlarged photo, pattern paper, ink + stamp, handwriting, emboidery floss, and machine stitching.

And guess what? No white cardstock - actually no cardstock on this one.

Here's where I ended up:

I started with the photo in Photoshop and added "remember this" from my Outline Moments Brushes & Stamps.

One of my favorite ways to recolor word art is by selecting a color from a photo. Here's a short video tutorial that walks you through those simple steps:

After printing the photo here at home, I grabbed some pattern papers (October Afternoon's Sleeping Bag and Sassafras Lass' Polka Dot).

I also grabbed one of my new Technique Tuesday stamps from a set called Ordinary Days.

Here's a look at the full set:

If you're digital you can download a similar set from Designer Digitals: This Is The Day Word Art Vol.2

That days of the week stamp went onto a small shipping tag using Tim Holtz Crushed Olive Distress Ink.

Next I started playing with some yellow floss and a needle.

I stitched the stamped tag onto the bottom right corner.

I decided to hand-stitch an arrow right above the title of the photo. To make this process simple I drew an arrow very lightly with a pencil and then pre-poked the holes with the needle before using the floss.

Fun. Love that yellow floss.

Under the arrow and the title I added some new printed chipboard letters/numbers from Studio Calico and wrote my journaling onto Sassafras Lass' Count Me In Collection Elementary pattern paper.

Along the bottom I layered Hambly's Garden Party white overlay.

Here's a look at the whole page:

I used my sewing machine to stitch around the entire page and along the seams where the pattern papers meet.

JOURNALING |You are two. You are totally into doing everything all on your own. "Anna do it!" is your loud mantra. I love seeing you wanting to do everything. I love seeing how you watch and then take on whatever the new task is at hand. Brushing your teeth is big right now - especially with Simon. I help you most of the time but also make sure you have lots of cleaning opportunities.
