After trying to find space for some beautiful new designer papers I bought this week I thought it might be an idea to do some 'real' scrapbooking for a change instead of using Serif Craft Artist and having the whole page printed.
Typically I ended up not using any of my patterned paper at all, but two plain blue sheets of 12" x 12" card by DCWV and a amazing sketch from Sketchy Thursdays.
It was quite nerve wracking to cut my 6" x 4" photos down to just the 3" x 3" that eventually turned out to be the right size for the layout, but I'm glad I did now as I love they way they turned out. After trimming I matt and layered each photo on to white and the same navy paper as my base colour.
The title and journalling, which if you look carefully at the sketch, had to include a list, was planned on Serif Craft Artist (hmm still ended up using it for one part of the page after all) and then printed on Inkjet Acetate before being laid over the light blue. Then I attached the photos and strip of embossed card on top.
I didn't add any extra embellishments as I really liked the simplicity of the page. Hope others do too!
My page is also for the challenges at...
- Crafty Ann's Challenge - Monochromatic (eeeeek well it is apart from photos)
