I recently received my kit from
Scrapbook Studio, and was delighted with the lovely goodies included in my package. This is the September kit, and is ideal for those with sporty kids in the family!!!! I created my first tutorial with some of the lovely goodies, check it out!!!
STEP 1:
Position stencil. I placed
mine in the left hand corner. Be careful to cover all the rest of your
cardstock so as not to get mist all over. I used Studio Calico Mr Huey’s Color
Mist in the colour Opaque White.
In hindsight I realize I
should have positioned the stencil slightly more to the right!
STEP 2:
Gather the elements from your
kit that match with your photos. I am going to use this series of photos of my
youngest son riding his bicycle for my layout, hence the bicycle stencil. I
want to use the large arrow in my title. I used a free Photoshop action called
CoffeeShop Denim to alter my photos and bring out more blue in them.
STEP 3:
Cut out your photos and
arrange all your elements in the following design, or any other that may better
suit your photos. I kept my layout pretty simple so that the photos and bold
bicycle misted shape would be the main focus of my page.
STEP 4:
Add more embellishments to
your layout as desired. I chose to use the bold red paper in the kit to cut out
the word “rider” as well as the arrows. I used my Silhouette Cameo to do this.
I also added some stamped circles in white.
STEP 5:
This is just something I do
personally. After arranging the layout as I would like it, I take a photo with
my phone so I can remember the exact position of each element, so I can stick
it all down correctly.
STEP 6:
I add some straight stitching
with my sewing machine. I often sew on my layouts as I love the homely effect
it gives my page, as well as extra texture. I did a bit of free hand stitching
along the side of each semi-circle.
STEP 7:
I totally love this old
typewriter which I bought on auction. If you notice on most of my layouts I
love to do my journaling in strips, and the old font and effect I get from the
typewriter is just perfect for me. I type out my journaling and then cut into
strips and adhere to my layout. Here is the end result!!
I totally love the way this layout turned out.
