Each week I share a scrapbook layout to give you a little sneak peek into what I’m scrapping, and inspire you to play with pretty pixels too.

Today I’m sharing a page from my childhood album.

Layout: Squeaky Ted

How I did it

For today's page I took the teddy's fur and red mouth as my color inspiration. Here's how to get the look

• Choose a dominant color from your photo as the background paper
• Use a 3x4 photo and add an inner stroke.
• Use a doily to start building the main cluster in the bottom right
• Add journalling in a handwriting font onto a journaling card
• Hang a banner to connect the photo and journaling
• Embellish around the outside of the photo/journalling block.
• Balance the heavy cluster with a little banner for the date and some stitching to hold it down.
• Created the title from fonts.
• Nestle the title in the space below the journalling
• Add some mixed media look pieces to finish the page

Journaling

I had a teddy - Squeaky Ted, though it wasn't till I was older that we discovered it squeaked!

Given to me by a couple form the Salvation Army Mum and Dad attended when I was newborn.
