Along with the many, many advantages of being a designer for ATDML is that a couple of times a year we are given the opportunity to choose the dt kit for ourselves. This month was one of them and I chose this gorgeous paper pack from Theresa Collins.
It’s no secret that I love her papers, the cardstock weight
of them, the texture and of course the design.
As I only have a daughter, what better range could I have chosen than
the ‘She Said’ one?
To co-ordinate with the papers I also bought some bling (not used on this page)
Labels (not used on this layout)
And some Sn@p Pockets
This layout is in fact the third one I have made from the
kit so far but it is my favourite.
It
came about quite by accident as I had, as I sometimes do, designed the page and laid out the elements
of my page how I wanted them, without a particular photograph in mind. I then just grabbed the first photo in my pile
to see how a 6 x 4 would fit in. It just
happened to be this photo - one I had had for a couple of years but never
gotten around to scrapping. If I‘m honest, the reason being is I
do look much larger than I would like to think I am in the photo (must have
been a trick of the light I think). I
couldn’t believe how well it went with the papers so with a little ‘shuffling’
about I was able to put the part of me that I was unhappy with inside the Sn@p
pocket and it all worked out to my liking.
If only you could hide your larger bits in Sn@p pockets in real life!
I used the gorgeous orange damask paper, to cut the roses out on my Silhouette and some leaves cut from
one of the papers, added a couple of heart shaped paperclips (from Wilkinsons)
a little bit of journaling and my page was finished.
A photograph scrapped by accident but you won’t tell anyone
will you?
