Welcome to {inter} National Scrapbooking Day on the Scrapbook & Cards Today blog! If you're just joining us, be sure to start right back at the beginning of this great day HERE!
"Sometimes it’s hard to pick just a few patterned papers to include on a layout, especially when there are so many cute ones to choose from! When I’m wanting to incorporate a lot of color and pattern, I love to create a striped background like the one in design:
By using one-inch strips and stacking them up in a column on my page, I was able to use 11 different patterns. I get a small snippet of each pattern, but it adds up to big impact on the page! To keep the strips united, I added zig zag stitching between each one and then framed the whole column with scalloped borders on each side.
I clustered my two photos with a title block, which is a journaling card pre-printed with the word “meow”. If you’re ever short on alpha stickers or chipboard, look to your journaling cards for a title!
To soften all the straight lines that my background has, I added three vellum circles filled with embellishments around the page. Framing each one in baker’s twine helps them stand out and add a touch of texture to my design.
Wishing you a fabulous {inter} National Scrapbooking Day!"
