Yesterday I shared with you the Artistic Etchings scrapbook pages we made in this month's scrapbook club. As a follow-up to that share, I wanted to show you what one of the pages looks like with some photos popped in. I had some black and white photos in a shoebox of my daughter Tiffany's wedding during the father-daughter dance. They look perfect on this page! I haven't filled it in yet, but the little "Take Note" oval is a perfect place to put the date or a bit of journaling. (This is the left side of a 12 x 12 layout. Scroll down one post to see the other side.)
This is a super-easy scrapbook page to put together. The Love Letter DSP and coordinating stamp set, Artistic Etchings, do all the work! I used the Timeless Type Junior Alphabet letters (die cut with the Big Shot) for my title. They make quick work of a title and are also a perfect size for scrapbooking. I sponged them just a bit with Soft Suede Classic Ink to bring some aging. I wanted them to look…well, timeless! The Cherry Cobbler Seam Binding Ribbon brings some softness as well as depth of color (did you know that Cherry Cobbler is the darker counterpart to Riding Hood Red–check it out on the Color Coach).
