It's that time of year again! Lawn Fawn is hosting its annual Holiday Week celebration over on the blog, and today I'm part of the festivities with a layout using the Peace Joy Love collection and coordinating stamp set.
Supplies:
Do not adjust your screens- yes, that is an 8.5x11 layout! It's been years and years since I've made one, but I've been having such a good time lately making 6x8 rectangular layouts in Sn@p and Capture albums that I wanted to try a letter size one for my regular albums, too. I had a ton of fun putting this one together, and, holy moly, I'd forgotten how quickly the smaller canvas fills up! Definitely seeing more of this size in my future.
I started this page with two 4x3 photos from our annual walk through the Huntsville Botanical Gardens' Galaxy of Lights last year (I still haven't blogged those photos- boo!) and a small pile of scraps from Lawn Fawn's Peace Joy Love papers. I've already made several layouts with this line, and I had quite a few little bits that I wanted to get used up. That included some border strips from one of the cut-apart sheets as well as a small stack of branding strips, so I started things off by running a few of those across the top and bottom of my page. Some misting, a mat behind one of my photos, a journaling card + title, and a few other bits such as the sequins and flair finished this page off.
The changeup in layout size was also great for me because, honestly, I was getting really, really tired of trying to find new ways to put two 4x3 photos on a 12x12 page. Quite often I like to scrap with a pair of pictures, and for some reason I'm finding that it's easier for me to use square photos (or a mix of square and rectangle) on a 12x12 page, and I think any size will work for me on a rectangular one. And some days I have daydreams about starting to scrap just in 6x8 layouts in little Sn@p binders...maybe one day, but not any time soon.
There are lots of cards, layouts, and holiday-related projects by the other Fawny Girls (those ladies continually amaze me!) to see today, so be sure to drop by the Lawn Fawn blog to check everything out!
