WinADay: A Day in the Life (inspired by Sarah)

Hi there! I haven't made a scrapbook layout in a long time, so I new I wanted to create one for this week's challenge.

 

I really love Sarah's journal page showing her kids blowing out birthday candles. As soon as I saw it, I knew I wanted to use it as my inspiration. I knew that it would work well with some pictures I recently took. They are from a walk in the woods my husband and I shared at a park near our home.

 

One of my favorite parts of Sarah's layout is the scalloped border all the way around the photo montage. But, I don't own Hero Arts CL288 Scallop Borders yet. (It's on my wishlist!) So, I used my Fiskars Threading Water border punch, instead.

 

Materials used:

* cardstock, textured: white, rust, blue, and green

* Fiskars Threading Water border punch

* Hero Arts CL123 Whimsical Alphabet (names)

* Hero Arts CL146 Travel Journal ("remember this" journal block)

* Hero Arts CL147 Favorite Journal ("a day in the life of")

* Marvy Uchida Clever Lever Mega punch (pink): 2 1/2" scalloped circle

* Marvy Uchida Clever Lever Super Jumbo punch (blue): 2" circle

* photo montage created in Photoshop and printed on photo paper

* Plaid All Night Media Pop Dots

* Ranger Archival Ink (waterproof): jet black

* Ranger embossing powder: seafoam white

* Tsukineko Memento Dew Drop (dye ink): potter's clay

* Tsukineko VersaMark watermark ink

 

Thanks for looking!

 

UPDATE 3/5/09:

Someone asked about the dimensions of the photos in my scrapbook layout. The verticals are approximately 1 3/16" wide x 5 3/8" long ... and the bottom piece (for the page title or sentiment) is approximately 6 13/16" wide by 1 3/16" tall.

Done
