This photo,
taken by my daughter-in-law, went to the top of my “Must Scrap” pile the
instant I saw it The Sea Land collection from Stamperia gave me the perfect
setting for this layout.
The paper is so
richly detailed that I thought I should keep the page simple.
I cut a 12” x 12”
square from a piece of packaging and removed the paper from the front to expose
the corrugated ribs.
Next, I tore the
pattern paper around all four sides and inked the edges. To create interest, I
took another sheet and cut a narrow strip to tuck underneath the right side of
my layout. Before gluing it all down, I tore and inked the exposed side.
Still keeping it
simple, I selected a section from the reverse side of the paper that I used for
the strip. This was torn on three sides and inked. I adhered a bit of chipboard
to the back of the photo and then to the matting.
Before gluing it
down, I wrapped the bottom of the photo several times with jute and created a
bow. I added more chipboard to the back so everything would lie flat and glued
it down.
I added a few
flowers from my stash and called it done. (I’m usually pretty good about
listing my supplies, but these flowers were odds and ends that I had removed
from the packaging and placed in jars some time ago. I think that they’re from
Prima…)
About the title:
The sentiment on the paper captured the photo so well that I decided to use the
last part. I usually struggle with titles, but this one is perfect!
