We are in full spring mode around here and I’m so happy! I love spring! For my March scrapbook class I created this Welcome Spring two-page layout.
It features the Afternoon Tea Designer Series paper – I used it for the border and the flowers. This is such a pretty pack of paper that I had kind of overlooked in the catalog. It’s perfect for Spring and it may look a bit familiar – we had another pack in a past catalog with the same designs just a different color combination.
Let’s take a little closer look at this layout –
- The base is Soft Suede 12×12 card stock
- The Pear Pizzazz pieces are where your photos will go – either collage them or mat them or line them up all the way across the layout.
- The border along the bottom is made with the Banner punch that was in the Sale-A-Bration brochure – it will be returning in our next annual catalog – so keep your eye out for it. I punched pieces of the Afternoon Tea Designer Paper and randomly placed them along the bottom of the Pear Pizzazz pieces. Over the top is a piece of the Burlap Ribbon – I cut mine into 4 strips. I also added little flowers from the Punch Pack in the coordinating colors.
- I used the Pansy Punch was used to punch the flowers from the Designer paper and also from Pear Pizzazz card stock (those become the leaves underneath). Curl them all a little. Punch Soft Suede bitty flowers with the punch from the Punch Pack. Layer the flowers – a bitty flower, designer paper flower and card stock flower then use a paper piercer to put holes in the center and add a silver mini brad to each.
- Cut a frame with the On Film Framelits from Very Vanilla card stock for the left page. Tie a piece of Linen Thread around the side of the frame. I love Linen Thread.
- I used the Two-Step Bird punch to make the bird and branch. Sponge the Very Vanilla bird with Wisteria Wonder ink. And an eye with the Soft Suede marker. The branch is Pear Pizzazz. I used some strands from the burlap ribbon to put under the birds beak – like he is carrying straw to build a nest. Yeah – that’s what has been going on in my yard.
- On the right page there is a journaling tag. Use a 2″ strip of Very vanilla and punch with the Scallop Tag Topper punch. Add a piece of Pear Pizzazz ribbon tied on with Linen Thread. Add a strip of the designer paper and one of the flowers to the tag.
- Add the photos and journaling to finish the page.
Now I need to print some photos to put on my layout. I got some really good shots around the yard the last few days.
