This was a quick layout that I did this past weekend. I actually intended for it to be very fussy and detailed and with tons of embellishments, but as I worked on it decided it didn't need much of that stuff and I was still happy with it.
I picked this calendar paper from Simple Stories' Year-o-graphy line because I just love this paper! I loved the paper so much that I didn't want to cover it up a whole lot.
I decided to go ahead and use the paper as if it really were one of my monthly calendar pages, and I put in all the activities my family had in the month that I was scrapping about. I really liked the way it came out because some day I'll be able to look back and see what a general month was like at this particular time in our lives.
I used one of the flash cards (distressed first, of course), and put some of the smaller stickers that come in the Year-o-graphy paper pack on for part of the title and then used the larger brown stickers (also with the sticker pack) in for the main part of the title. I used a journaling card from Jenni Bowlin for the other part of the title and the journaling.
I cut off one of the border strips from the papers and used it on the bottom on the paper to add interest.
I matted a picture of my baby in black cardstock (because I have a thing with matting photos).
Not a lot of embellishments after all (mostly because I really liked that calendar paper, but I decided that the layout worked without a lot of embellishment. So don't be afraid to do something different than usual because you might love the way it turns out.
Thanks for looking!
