Hi! This is the second layout I created with the May kit that
Scrapbooking Store sent me featuring products from Fancy Pants Designs and Little Birdie. For this layout, I'm documenting two photos of my mom and I during Mother's Day. I think this is the first time I create a layout about us. She's an amazing person, with the kindness heart, and always helping everyone. It's a blessing to have her in our lives; she's the best mom and the best grandma! Now, let's talk about the design in this layout.
After printing the photos, I matted them on teal paper to create contrast between them and the patterned papers. Then, I chose the papers I wanted to use. Since all the patterned papers have abstract and busy designs, I played with the colors to create contrasting layers that can be seen in the page.
For the background, I selected a solid dark paper from the collection. Around the green paper with the strokes, I stitched a border using white thread and the sewing machine, adding a texture to the layout and giving it a nicer finishing look.
To embellish the layout, I created two clusters in the corners of the photos using flowers from the die cuts, stickers and others fussy cut from the papers.
To give the layout dimension, I used foam tape behind the embellishments to create layers and make them more interesting. In the right side of the photos you can find a cute bird and two little flowers from the Little Birdie embellishment pack.
For the title, I used a cardstock sticker with foam tape and placed it near the cluster. At the end, I added white paint splatters and the journaling.
That's all for this layout. It's a simple layout to recreate if you have the kit or if you are using other products.
Thanks for your visit. I hope you like this layout, and it inspires you to craft. Don't forget to come back soon for more inspiration.
