All Grown up, by Grace Tolman

1. All Grown Up

I love this page. I love that the colors of the cardstock and papers compliment my pictures and make the purples in my girl’s dress pop out more. I didn’t think the blue in the chipboard letters compliment my page so I sprayed it with glimmer mist but didn’t stick well on the surface so I rubbed it off and left a distinct color distortion. I also sprayed the mist onto the cardstock to compliment the rustic feel of the page.

I love double sided papers because you get the most designs for your buck. Such is the case in this layout where I only used three papers but got six different but complimenting designs. I also punched 1″ circles and layed them out in the middle to break all the blockiness of the page. I used my pen to create a frame on my title to make it stand out more against the background.

I wanted to keep this layout simple to focus on my journaling and picture. There’s certain layouts that doesn’t need too much products to tell a story. I felt this one was in that category. My sewing machine is packed up right now in a storage place somewhere in town so I didn’t have it on hand to sew up my lace so I chose to use a stapler instead. Speaking of the lace, I used it to create my visual triangle in the page.

The Last Time, by Grace Tolman

4. The last time

This was the first page I made with the kit. I love my first pages with the Crazy Daisy kit because it usually has a little bit of everything in the kit on the layout. I handcut flowers from a pattern paper to use as an embellishment and added the Pink Paislee brads in the centers of them. I also used a die cut tab in the top left corner.

Here’s my double page spread for this month. I used a lot of pattern papers here to create my borders. I also used the bracket die cuts to act as borders of my journaling block. I added a black fabric brad on the “g” in the title too and cut out more flowers to add as an embellishment.
