Scrapbook Layouts

Today I thought that I would share some layouts that I've completed during the month of April. I created quite a few with the mix of challenges and just for fun layouts I've made and I figured that some of you would enjoy a showing of these! The first is a layout I made of myself when I was 9 months old. I've been having a lot of fun experimenting with color and sorting through older pictures of my mom's. I have also been working on some genealogy of both sides of my family tree. So here is the first layout:

Here is another layout that I created for the front page of my family tree scrapbook. I've only made a few layouts for that scrapbook because I have to get to the craft store for a few essential supplies.

That's all for now, but I have decided that I'm going to try to be more consistent with my blogging and I'm going to try to make the blog a more interesting place! Thanks for looking!

Layering

Layering is a very nice way to add your style into a page. If you love bright colors, use them in your layering and you will add that to your page. I have a couple of examples for you:

You can layer anything that you like - stickers, patterned paper, cardstock, rub-ons, ribbon, or even chipboard and embellishments. Also, as you can see in the Preschool layout, the title is made from lowercase and capital letters out of place - this gives it a look that is more childish and playful than something more sophisticated. Also, this was completely by accident, because i ran out of the stickers I needed and then I just made do! As you can see I also used some stencils and a black gel pen to add some letters I didn't have in capital or lowercase! Hope this inspires some of you and I hope you have a good day!
