Love You Good | Scrapbook Layout

I put this layout together celebrating Anna and Gabrielle as a challenge for Cocoa Daisy's Fall Crop.

The challenge was simple: go big with your type.

I love type. Big love. I love when the words (especially ones that relate to the story being told) can become the art.

Here's a look at my layout:

I've been wanting to use that background paper for awhile (Fancy Pants Spring Fever). Lots and lots of little type which ends up being a nice contrast with the large stamping above the journaling.

Using the See And Stamp Jumbo letter stamps (they really are big - about 1 inch tall) I stamped friends and cousins a few times. When the word I was stamping came to the edge of the page I just moved down to the next line and continued on.

Below the stamped friends and cousins I added some of the plastic Tim Holtz Ransom alphas. Have you tried these yet? I used them in my Italy Scrapbook On The Road (need to finish that up) on top of the page protectors and they worked really well.

And underneath the plastic alphas I stamped a few sentiments. I repeated "you are simply the best" from my Dad Rocks stamp set and highlighted the last one with a different color ink. The other sentiment stamp I used was tucked right in between the plastic letters and "you are simply the best." It's a line that says "this day. this moment. this story. this life. " and is from my Favorite Memories set.

On top of the jumbo letter stamps I added a Jenni Bowlin butterfly rub on and used one of Tim's metal number 2's.

I stitched, with my sewing machine, around the edge of the photo and journaling area.

Along the top left side of the photo I added some word stickers from October Afternoon. I'm pretty sure these are my favorite little word stickers out there right now.

And in case you're wondering why I journaled with two different pens it's because I started with one and decided it was too thin. I finished the sentence/thought and then started with a thicker pen. Sometimes that's just the way it goes!

Check back tomorrow for another new layout (two in one week, I know, it's been awhile).
