Today I am thrilled to welcome Jackie, a friend of mine from my local crop.
Days like
these ...
As I
write these instructions it's not much like Spring outside, the snow is falling
and it is freezing, but I hope by now it has all gone and a distant memory.
Now onto
my layout, the theme for Spring is recycling, growth so here is my layout and
instructions on how I put it together.
I put
together a mini page kit including thickers (which I ended up not using).
I started
by cutting this paper to approx. 7 x 4 and inked the edges.
All the
edges of the papers have been inked using Tim Holtz Vintage Photo Distress Ink.
Then
taking a section of the ‘love’ paper
Using the
Coffee Cup Cardboard holder - I carefully flatten it out and the edges off, I
added some bakers twine to the back to keep it in place, then wrapped it round
several times before tying a bow at the front right.
I punched some heart shapes from the left over
cardboard.
I stamped
onto one of the tags.
Then it
was time to layer everything up.
I added
foam pads to the back of the photo
To stick
the die cut shape to the page I used Glossy Accents.
I added 3
cardboard hearts to the layout, and then I choose some of the wood veneer -
again I inked the edges and choose 3 different shapes.
To help
ground this shapes I punched 3 circles
and used some of the washi tape and
brads to make clustered embellishments.
To finish
off I used a roller stamp to add the date.
Thank you Jackie. What a fabulous layout. And it's so great to see how to do a layout about a boy.
