Inside my Album: All about Me

July 26, 2013 By Melissa Shanhun 3 Comments

I was working on my layout for Week Two of Hello Story yesterday, so I thought I'd share it as inspiration for your weekend scrapping.

201307 Hello Story wk2

This page was made from scratch, so I'll talk you through the process...

  • I wanted to use the pink flower, so I started my layout with a cluster of washi, ribbon and added some paint and stitches for fun
  • I filled out the blanks using my handwriting font
  • I needed a neutral base to a clipped the kraft paper to a rectangle shape
  • I moved everything around a few times to be sure 'dream big' was showing
  • I decided the cluster was a great spot for the date tag
  • I added another layer of paper at the last minute
  • I framed my page with some polkadot paper to tie all the colours together (thanks Debbie Hodge for that tip!)

I used Ali Edward's fill in the blank digital elements and Sara Gleason's Coconut Tree kit from the Digi Files (there's only a couple more days to grab that one - so get it now!)

This is just one of the pages I'm including in a photobook order I'm working on. I'm hoping to get it done this weekend to take advantage of an awesome $3 photobook deal from Adorama Pix. What will go inside? Another 13 or so unprinted all about me layouts.

Narcissistic? Never! I just love scrapping about me, and it's about time I could look through the pages in real life.

What are you scrapping this weekend? Feel free to link up in the comments below.
