Hello,
Today you can find me over on The Mad Scrapper Blog with another holiday layout featuring a family group shoot on holiday this year. As you can see this adorable family will soon become 5.
As soon as I was given the photographs I knew the pink and the blue needed to be my choice of paper colour. So I grabbed a few different ones and played about with them
I took the Staples paper 1 and gutted out the centre, distressing the outside edges, then I trimmed down to 11 inch the Exquisite Specimen paper, distressed the edges and added a cross stitched element to the top right corner. The main photograph is a 4x4 one to which I gave a thin black mat and then on to the other side of the pink paper and then on to a Bahama blue. I gave the layout 2 flower clusters using Green Tara flowers and a couple from 49 and Market. A full list can be found below.
On the main paper there is this beautiful bird and I didn't want to cover his face so I went in with a sharp blade and fussy cut around him pulling him up on top of the edge of the photograph.
This next photograph shows the 2nd cluster and this time I made a bloom from the mat paper adding others on top and around. I also cut out 2 leaf sprays which I added to the top cluster.
This next photo shows a few other images taken at the same time, with these I used postage edge scissors to cut the black mat and tumbled them down the left side. To finish off I just added pink rhinestones around the page.
Thanks for stopping by again today, I hope I have inspired you to pull out some of your more vibrant papers because they will probably work perfectly with holiday/summer photographs. If you need any help with matching papers to photographs pop in to see Janine at the store or go to The Mad Scrapper and look at your leisure.
Sue.
