Elizabeth Gardner is back with us today to share her last project as a guest designer! So far, she’s shown us a fun, new way to use our stamps to create an interesting background, and how to add both machine stitching and hand stitching to add more interest to our layouts. Let’s see what she has for us today:
I love thinking of ways to use a number of patterned papers on one layout. For this page, I took the 12” x 12” ombre All My Heart patterned paper from the Little Moments 12” x 12” paper collection and cut it into strips. Then, I did the same with various smaller patterns from the Little Moments 6” x 6” paper stack, being sure to keep them all the same dimension. The next step was to arrange them on the page & sew the edges for a bit of texture.
Some simple embellishment using tags from the May 2016 exclusive kit, Good Stuff puffy stickers, Little Moments bits and pieces, and the “today” acrylic, finished off the layout.
Hello there! I’m so excited to be guest designing for Elle’s Studio. Let me tell you a little bit about myself. I’m a mom of four, wife to a man I refer to only as “Hottie,” & owner of a velcro dog named Mr. Snicklefritz McGee. I am addicted to playing roller derby and changing my hair color. I’m also a stone cold crafting/art/scrapbooking nerd and am proud of it! I get ridiculously excited over watercolors and scrappy products hot off the presses. I have tried my hand at just about every medium of art but scrapbooking is my constant. It’s my jam. I typically do pocket pages and 12×12 pages… at least 4 a week. So I guess you could say I am one productive nerd! Thanks for having me. It was a pleasure!
You can find more of Elizabeth’s work at her blog, My Scrappy Life, and on her Instagram feed! Thanks so much for sharing your awesome layout, Elizabeth!
