Iron Pig – Baseball Scrapbook Layout

January 23, 2018

Welcome back craft friends as I share another scrapbook layout with you.  I created this layout as part of the scrapping party over at the Secret Not Secret Kit Club Facebook page. There was a sketch created by Eileen that we were able to interpret to our liking.

I stuck pretty close to the sketch except for my embellishments. Since I used a camping collection for this layout the embellishments didn’t match my theme so I had to make my own.  I used punches, inked the shapes and added some doodles to make them interesting. The other items are small stickers from a totally different collection that was family themed, but matched the color scheme of the papers.

I really enjoyed this sketch because it lent itself to using a 6×6 paper pad.  As with most people I have way to many, and use them way to much.  It felt good to get some of it used. I previously used this collection to make a cookout invitation that you can see here.Family Baseball Scrapbook Layout

I originally started this layout on white cardstock, and I kept looking at it and not liking how it was coming out.  Additionally, I tried outlining, more doodles, etc and nothing helped.  Once I pulled everything up and tried a black background…wow…did it look so much better.  The bright colors just popped in a way they didn’t on the white.  Don’t be afraid to try a dark background when something just doesn’t seem to be going the way you like.

Thank you for joining me today, and reading about each project I created.  I love hearing your feedback and I’d love to see any projects you create as a result.
