Hello! It’s Valerie with a multi-photo birthday layout and a card for you today. My son’s birthday party photos are one of my favorite things to scrapbook. I love comparing year to year and always can’t believe how much he has grown and changed.
Supplies:My Mind’s Eye Necessities Teals and Black & Gray 6x6 paper pads, Blues enamel dots & enamel shapes, Teals enamel shapes, Reds alpha & word stickers, Teals alpha & word stickers, Blues alpha & word stickers, Blues decorative foil tape. Market Street Ashbury Heights 6x6 paper pad. Now & Then Dorothy “Lovely Day” enamel shapes. Other: date and phrase stamps, paint, mist, Silhouette Cameo (font: Barrio).
I grabbed a couple 6x6 paper pads and picked some patterns I thought coordinated well with my photos. I love playing around with typography and decided to make a big, emphasized, repetitive title. I adhered my photos to the page with some decorative foil tape from the Necessities collection. And then a birthday layout doesn’t seem complete without some splatters of paint—like confetti.
I took the birthday layout, and using a sketch of it, created this card from the sketch. I had extra letters left over because I cut out some extra knowing I’d create a card too. Who doesn’t always need a stash of extra birthday cards ready to put in the mail for friends!?
Anyone else ever use their layouts for card inspiration? I challenge you to try it next time you sit down to scrap.
Thanks for stopping by today!
