Recently, Jody, owner of SpiegelMom Scraps, released a whole slew of new FREE digital cut files. I saw this "Come Fly with Me" cut file and immediately thought of my daughter, doing her butterfly race the night before. I know this isn't what most people think of but if you are a swim Mom, you will understand. I had to create a layout using this cut file and show you, once again, how things can be used for a purpose other than that intended. A little bit of creativity is all it takes!
My favorite way of scrapbooking utilizing the 8.5x11 or letter size format is with large photos. I can print them at home which makes it even more convenient! As you can see, I used the cut file directly onto the photo. I changed my usual 12x12 mat size to letter size on in Design Studio, centered the file and sent it to print, it was dead easy. I love this effect. Its' similar to what I did with a 12x12 layout about Sequoia NP lately.
I used rub ons on this layout too! Do you remember those things that used to be really big, way back when? I have a drawer full of them. I really need to bust into the drawer and use some of them up. These are Tim Holtz rub ons that I got on a recent trip to Tuesday Morning. They are a perfect way to add some color or visual interest to a large photo layout!
Sequins! If you know me, you know I design for SpiegelMom Scraps. And you know that I have two swimmers. Sequins and swimming go together perfectly when it comes to memory keeping. The sequins adds the perfect sparkle to water, especially if you are outdoors. I often have people ask how I adhere those pesky little disks of shimmery goodness to the page. The accompany process video shows you at the end of the video.
You can see that here as well as how the layout comes together. Thanks for stopping in today!
