This week's layout and video features 4x6 traditional photos (from a film camera) and of course, stamping (as part of 2Peas cardmaking and/or stamping event this month).
I had previously scrapbooked these photos of my daughter when she was just a toddler on a 2-page layout that although was pretty, it definitely didn't tell any sort of a story whatsoever. There was no journaling and the entire focus of the page was on the "stuff" and not the photos + the story. I decided to give these photos the do-over treatment. Because I had added some eyelets to the corners of a couple of the photos, I cropped the photos down to 3.5x5 for my page. The smaller size allowed me to line them up and still have room for the lovely aqua blue border around my page.
I added a stamped title using Ali Edwards Kids Are Cool and Ordinary Days stamps (colored in with Faber Castell Big Brush Markers in Scarlet Red 118, Orange Glaze 113, May Green 170 & Light Cobalt Turquoise 154). The words "everyday" was inked with CTMH Tulip ink.
The accents were created using the MME Stella Rose doily stamps and punching out the stamped images with circle punches.
I also included a stamped word in the journaling using another new Ali Edwards stamp set, Ordinary Days. I love the way stamped words highlight journaling. The rub-on is from an old Lily Bee Collection.
