Preserving Memories Layout
Hey Friends!
This is Jana, and Welcome to the Tres Jolie blog! I have a project today that is near and dear to my heart.
I have always loved this photo of my Mom and my Aunt Bette. It was the perfect one to use for this layout. I started by auditioning all the things I had to work with from the October Scrapbook Club Kit. (Trust me, there is a lot to use!)
I used my photo editing program to make the photo more sepia toned and I think that went better with the papers and the woodgrain. I also printed it with a border this time. I think it keeps the photo from getting lost against the background.
Once I kind of narrowed things down, I started envisioning my layout. I tend to move things around a lot and usually coming back to where I started. The papers in this kit are AMAZING! It was really a tough decision which ones to use for this layout. The apples and the wood grain just seemed to be the perfect match. Then to pick the ephemera! Flowers, chipboard, more flowers, die cuts, just so much to choose from. I narrowed it down finally.
I knew there were elements I really wanted to use. It was hard to not use all the things, there is so much to choose from, but I picked out just a few pieces. The flowers I sprayed with distress spray to give them a pink shimmer. I then placed everything where I wanted and glued them down. No going back now!
I really hope this layout has inspired you to preserve those precious memories! Get them out of a box and onto a page. This will be a very special keepsake.
