I keep posting photos of cards that I've made and today I decided I'd show some of my scrapbook pages as well. Starting with one of my first, and one of my favorites. It's fairly simple but I like that because it brings out the picture more. I started with a plain white 12x12 piece of paper because I couldn't find a background paper to compliment my photo. The photo is of my boyfriend and I on one of our first dates. Both of us in high school with little money we grabbed some friends and went to the dollar store to buy paint and water guns. We went to a park near a river so we watered down the paint and chased each other around. It was so much fun! Anyways I just splattered tattered angels mist all over the page and found some bright colourful papers. I ran some kraft card stock through the krimper and tore it to make an accent. I did faux stitching around the photo and wrote a little caption. I then just layered some flowers and tied a bow with some twine. :) simple and easy but a big accomplishment for me! Thanks for checking it out! 
Hi Gillian, I remember seeing this layout at Scrapbook Queens and I totally loved it then and still do seeing it today :) Your design really pulls out the colours and details! :) PS- I just saw the note you left regarding copics and I would be happy to set up a time, talk to you soon. smiles nat :)
ReplyDeletelooks like you've got a good eye for balance on the page and compliment of colours and textures! have you ever checked out bizzy bee's on bloor? i've been in a few times with the intent to make my own wedding invitations... i'm seriously considering it now!
ReplyDeleteNo , I haven't been there. Next time I'm down town I will! You should totally make them! Theres great ways to make cards in bulk and do an assembly line type thing. I'd be happy to help if you need it :)
Deletethey've got stamps and stuff too! it's along the subway line so if you decide to park at kipling or something then you can take the subway in. or just drive in and park nearby. it's not far from etobicoke so you wouldn't be trekking all the way into the city. it's near high park!
