Happy Monday crafty friends! I'm sharing a 6x8 2 page spread that was inspired by a mixed media photo image I recently saw in a magazine while in the book store. The photo was cut into strips with word stickers incorporated into the image. How fun is that?! I knew this was something I wanted to try...ASAP!
I wanted to tell a story about the special love that my daughter and our dog share for each other and selected a recent photo of my daughter and our dog from our Christmas card photo shoot.
Since my photo had faces and small details I kept the space between the photo strips to a minimum. The strips were cut the same size as my chipboard wordfetti.I love how the photo strips, chipboard word, flair and felt hearts look layered over the photo. For the background I added the word "bond" from a digital image randomly on the background to emphasize the title and create a fun pattern. I also added the journaling and then printed.
On the opposite side of the layout I wanted to include lots of bits and pieces from my stash but yet, keep the design clean. To accomplish this I used a 6x8 die cut with a grid of circles. I added stitching around the circles and filled each one with bits of patterned paper, flair, felt hearts and stamped images.
On the photo, I used the Capture This flair from the I Shoot Flair set and on the left side I used the Today flair from the Word Flair set. You can find both of these sets in the {a flair for buttons} shop.
Thank you so much for stopping by. Have a fabulous week!
