Hi Scrappy Friends! I’m back with something a bit different for my blog…a 9×12 layout. I saw this on Inkie Quill’s channel and figured I’ve give it a try for some variety. I really ended up loving it. For single 4×6 photos it was so much easier to not have as much white space to fill, and I think the layout looks more balanced. It won’t be something I completely change to, but I will definitely be incorporating some into my albums.
The other thing that’s different about this layout, at least for my blog is that the photo is my boy, but the supplies are meant for a girl. I used the Felicity Jane Caroline kit from April as the colors were perfect for the photo.
To make this more masculine I pulled in the blue/navy and grey elements to balance out the pink. For me yellow is gender neutral so that worked week also. I then pulled in some wood elements for another masculine touch. Some mustard and seafoam Heidi Swapp Color Shine and I called it a day.
I also wanted to share with you the glue I used to attach my wood elements…The Best Glue Ever. I used my Embellie Gellie to pick them up, but look at how little glue I had to use.
I also will be entering this layout into the challenge at Scrap The Boys.
You certainly made the more feminine papers work here. I love your design and your photo. Thank you for joining us at STB x
Thanks so much Rachel. Using my more feminine papers for my boy is always a challenge for me
Love your design, looks great!
I like it. A lot!!! You did very good Lynn <3 And – like the son of my colleague is always explaining to me: colors (and in this case paper designs) don't belong to anybody. If I like pink, I can wear pink! (he is a genius at only age 10)
Love the look of this and the combination of patterns!
Awesome layout !! Thanks for joining us at STB
