Pieces and Patterns – Wild About You Scrapbook Page
The Pieces and Patterns Stamp Set, which I also shared yesterday, makes a crazy cute, Wild About You Scrapbook Page. Crazy enough, my layout also plays perfectly with the Paper Players Sketch Challenge #350 PP350.
I am so excited about this post because I get to show off my little cutie, my son, Preston. He is now 8.5 years old so these pictures have been in a tote for almost 8 years, I am ecstatic that they are finally able to make it onto a page. I have hundreds of photos that need to escape the confinement of a photo box. I am hoping to make some headway this summer and share them with my family and followers.
I wish I had time to get all the photos in my photo tote onto a scrapbook layout, I am a stickler on detail so my pages do take time. This one only took an hour so I am happy with that!
Page Details:
- The Page Base is a piece from the Pick A Pattern Designer Series Paper. I cut out a section that I knew was going to be behind my focal point and used that to fussy cut the mushrooms to frame the photos.
- I tied two layers of Crushed Curry and Basic Black Solid Bakers Twine to the Page Base. I adhered them to the back of the page with Washi Tape so I didn’t have to use so much to get around the page. I tied the bow with separate twine and adhered with a glue dot.
- I cut 1 inch wide strips of Basic Black and Crushed Curry Cardstock and adhered them to the bottom of the Whisper White 8.5 x 11.
- I created a border using three of the stamps from the Pieces and Patterns Stamp Set. I used Basic Black, Crushed Curry and Sahara Sand Classic Ink. I used an Aqua Painter to add some Crushed Curry and Sahara Sand watercolor look. I did the same to the area surrounding the three photos.
- I stamped the Wild About You with Basic Black Archival Ink. Colored the shadow with a Basic Black Stampin’ Write Marker. I cut it to size with the Paper Trimmer then flagged the end with the Banner Triple Punch.
- The final touch was added with Black and Gold Multi-Sized Metallic Sequins strategically placed and glued down with the Fine-Tip Glue Pen.
