Sometimes your layouts need to reflect who YOU are, this is the challenge for you this week... I want you to choose just one photo of yourself...doesn't have to be the best photo in the world, look at this photo that I used! Taken about 13 years ago.....heavier in weight, shorter hair, and a time in my life I'd much rather forget than deal with!
I also chose one word that describes me....and used hidden journaling to add a few things underneath the photo. As you look at this, you can't see the journaling part underneath...that is how I like to design my words... hidden a bit, yet powerful if you read them. You don't need to do anything "hidden" if you don't want....I wanted to frame the photo and add the journaling underneath.
For the colors I used, I stuck with pink as my favorite color...and added black & white to make it more dramatic. For the flowers, I used a glue gun with glitter.....you can't see it in the scan, but it really makes for a neat look.
Supplies needed:
Black cardstock
White cardstock
Pink cardstock (I used a textured cardstock...)
Flower die cuts
Saying sticker (or alpha letters)
Ribbon
Adhesive/glue gun
Glitter
Directions:
Step one: Take the photo you are using, matt it on white cardstock.
Step two: Using a sheet of 12 x 12 textured cardstock, cut it 6.5 x 12 and fold in half. Add the photo to the top.
Step three: Taking the glue gun, add the ribbon to the bottom of the matted photo.
Step four: Add the saying sticker or alpha letters to the bottom.
Step five: In the area underneath, I used my computer to type up my hidden journaling.
Step six: Add the flowers to the area underneath the photo matt, using a glue gun and your choice of glitter.
I want you to focus on the one photo and one word that describes you....using your one favorite color, adding a couple of accent colors while you are at it.
