Polly! Guest Designer - Louise
11:00Twenty14
Hi everyone, it’s Louise again, back to share another layout
I created using the January Polly Kit, Almond Biscotti.
This time, I wanted to use the large twenty14 diecut as my
focal point on the page and to tell the story of what will most likely define
2014 for our family. We bought a
beautiful acre of land about a year ago and the building process is about to
start.
With building as the theme for the page, I decided to use
the woodgrain patterned paper as the background and create a simple vertical
panel with patterned paper, my photo and my journalling. I will let you in on a little secret
though- to stretch my kit further, I actually cut 4” off the woodgrain sheet, then
cut the remaining 8” piece in half and adhered each half to the outside edges
of some plain cardstock, leaving a gap in the middle which was then covered by
the feature vertical area of my page.
I do this kind of thing a lot with my supplies, especially when I want
to use the reverse side of the patterned paper on my project.
I added some stamping in
among my journalling strips using the stamps in the kit, and I love the
interest that added to what started off as a pretty boring area of the
page. To unify the colours a
little better, I added some peach ink splatters to the black and white papers. Machine stitching added some extra
horizontal interest and subtle texture.
See you soon!
Louise
