To end this day with a big finish we have a $100 prize package from our friends at American Crafts!
……………
Hello there! It’s Meghann Andrew, and I am so excited to be here with you for interNational Scrapbook Day! The SCT spring issue is packed with tons of inspirational projects, and when I find only a limited amount of time to create, getting inspiration from inside its pages is SO helpful! I was especially inspired by Tammy Ziolkowski’s “Amazing” layout on page 71 in the Inspiration Gallery.
I loved the idea of having multiple photos on a diagonal line with a BIG title! I pulled together a series of similar photos of my daughter to create this page:
Supplies: Patterned paper, stickers, chipboard, stamp, die-cut: American Crafts; Enamel dots: Pinkfresh Studio
As you can see, our pages are very different. I chose a saturated and vibrant color scheme by using the colorful Box of Crayons collection from Shimelle and American Crafts. I also printed my photos larger than Tammy at 2″ x 3″ and created a shelf for my title with contrasting patterned paper.
However different, the design of my page was totally inspired by Tammy’s beautiful layout, and I absolutely love the result! Don’t forget to turn to your latest issue of SCT magazine for creative inspiration when you are short on time. Happy interNational Scrapbook Day, and happy creating!” ~ Meghann Andrew
Art Director Cathy Zielske has created a free download including a title cut file and a layered template to help you preserve a magical moment of your own! Stop by Cathy’s blog for the download below and video tutorial as she walks you through her page building process.
