My sister and her husband took their little boy to the pumpkin patch last week and she came back with some great photos. As soon as I saw the one above I said “I have to scrapbook that! I’ll take a 5 x 7”. Most of the time, when I scrapbook a photo of him, she ends up taking it home and adding it to his photo album, which is a really special treat for me, to be able to create something for him, that one day he’ll get to really enjoy… or his wife will 😉
Sometimes, if she gives me photos and I wasn’t their with them at the event or outing, I end up giving her the layout with no journaling on the journaling tag. That way, she can record the special moments and memories and then it’s like his mom and aunt both made it!
Here’s the steps on how I created this layout:
1. First I started with a 12 x 12 piece of kraft cardstock.
2. Cut tiny, about 1/4 inch tall, 12 inch long strips from a striped paper, I used American Crafts Night Watch, and glue one to the top and one to the bottom.
3. Cut a 6 1/2 x 7 3/4 peice from a polka dotted paper, I used Mischievous “Happy Halloween” from My Minds Eye. Use a punch to punch out some of the circles – I saw this technique on Waleska’s blog and just had to try it!
4. Now you’ll want to layer your 4 x 6 “Notes from October” Elle’s Studio Journaling Tag, with the polka dotted paper and 5 x 7 photo.
5. Create a little cluster of pennants by cutting out three from the Elle’s Studio Halloween Pennants and then one from a coordinating scrap of paper.
6. To finish it off I added the title “The Perfect Pumpkin” to the top with Prima’s alphabet stickers and some bats and a pumpkin with K&Co’s Spook-Tacular accents.
This Sunday’s giveaway features the two Elle’s Studio products used! We are giving away both the Halloween Pennants and our Spooktacular Autumn Large Journaling Tags.
