I used to scrap 4x6 photos period. Now my favorite photo size is either 4x4 or 3x3. But I still like to mix it up. So those 4x6 and 3x5 photos creep into my layouts. And sometimes I order polaroid style prints from Persnickety Prints. And I have a stack of larger photos on my desk. So Sunday I pulled out a 6x12 photo.
The photo of my 14 year old daughter swinging and laughing is one of my favorites from last summer. She is 15 now and I am afraid there won't be too many more pictures of swinging and playing and being a kid. And because the photo caught the sense of motion - check out her hair - I ordered a large print because I didn't want to lose any of the details or the sense of joy.
The layout is super simple. I just layered patterned paper and vellum to one side ofthe photo to add interest. On the other side I added a column of vellum hearts from Sevenpaper, going from large to small. I need about a zillion packs of those hearts!
The title went right on the photo. Those giant chipboard letters from Studio Calico's Lisse Street scrapbook kit were perfect for this. (I could use a few zillion packs of those too). I added the date and a phrase sticker to my paper layers near the bottom of the page. A few glittery hears and a die cut mounted with foam squares and I was done.
I am a ridiculously slow scrapper and I don't think this took me more than 45 minutes. Of course, I was helped with inspiration from mem186 at Studio Calico. She picked an awesome layout for me to lift that was the real starting point here.
Thanks for stopping by.
