Hello there thanks for stopping by the blog. Today I have a
layout to share with you & it
features my baby grandson, Henry. Now it is a a plain & simple layout & not what I normally
do. I
don't do that many boy layouts so when I saw these gorgeous papers from Maja Designs
"Life By the Sea" collection, I thought how perfect
they were for a
baby boy layout.
For
my background I have used "The Westcoast" paper. Love these gorgeous
nautical stripes & I have trimmed it with some of the ""Landmark" paper..
The
little kite I have made at the side of the photo was out of some of the
scraps
I had left over of both the "Landmark" & some "Sailing"
papers.
Next
up I decided to make a little pinwheel. I used the "Drop the Anchor"
paper for this. I like the way you can see both side of the paper on
this.
I
also used up some of the decorator strips which are on the bottom of
every
Maja paper, & ran them vertically down my page to add a
graphic element to the design.
Next up I decided to make a little circular pleated embellishment using
the "Landmark"
paper too. I just love the way this collection mixes
& matches so perfectly.
Some string for texture, some ink splatters, a little stamping, a few layers &
some 2Crafty chipboard including my custom made title, kite & chain border.
Hey
presto, all done.
I know we all like to do pretty creations using
pretty papers & lots of flowers, but
occassionally we have to do
some boy things & what better range to do it with,
than this "Life
By The Sea" collection.
These are the four Maja Design papers I have used....
Well thats all for today.
Until next time.
