I had the pleasure of working on a wedding album with one of my best friends recently and when we were going through her photos she also shared with me her engagement photos. As soon as I saw them I immediately knew that we couldn’t complete this album without throwing in a few of the engagement shots as well.
The photos were taken in autumn up here in Canada where the colours in nature become vibrant and absolutely stunning for a few blissful weeks every year. The photos screamed Painted Harvest as soon as I saw them and then once I put together a quick layout I couldn’t believe how perfectly it came together.
The layout came together so quickly. All I did was mat the photo in black and then again in grey cardstock. I tucked two of the patterned papers from the Variety Mat Pack behind the photo and then I created a banner to go along the bottom of the photo.
To create the banner I cut strips of the Painted Harvest Pattered Paper to 1″ in width and then cut a flag end on one of the edges of each strip. I staggered the flags by length just slightly and used some foam squares to pop up some of the flagged ends.
I covered the top of the flags with another 1″ strip that measured 7″ long. I then used the Painted Harvest Embellishments to create clusters of leaves on the left and right hand side.
Finally I used the Ruby Red ABC/123 Stickers to create a title with the help of another one of the embellishments – and that’s it!
Supplies used to complete this layout were:
- Painted Harvest 12″ X 12″ Paper Pack
- Painted Harvest Embellishments
- Painted Harvest Variety Mat Pack
- 12″ X 12″ Solid Peacock Cardstock
- All Purpose Scissors
- 12″ Trimmer
- The Tape Runner
- Foam Squares
Thanks for taking a peek at the blog today! Check back again soon!
Beautiful layout! This November will be our 10 year wedding anniversary and I’ll finally get to work on our album. It’s my goal for the year. I can’t wait to incorporate the Painted Harvest paper into it.
Congratulations – 10 years is incredible! One of my favourite things about scrapbooking is being able to jump back and re-live all of those fun moments. Have fun completing your album!
This is my kind of scrapping— so simple, but elegant and stylish! Thanks for sharing. :-)
