This is another Paperclipping Flexible Template. These templates should give you a good kick-start on a layout without being too explicit as to where exactly to put what, or how many and what size your photos should be.
My Flexible Templates = Creativity + Flexibility + Easy Start
Below are the layouts I featured in this episode…
Scrabble
Journaling reads: This is the perfect game for you, my gifted, “Word Dude.” This summer I taught you how to play and I had a great time battling you with words.
Supplies: cardstock (Bazzill) * patterned paper (Creative Memories: this is OLD paper that I toned down with a washed layer of white paint; the smaller pieces in the embellishments might be Paper Trunk???) * ribbon (K.I. Memories made the large piece, the others are unknown) * metal frame * circular tag (Stampin’- Up) * letter stickers.
Tea Time
Journaling reads: Grandma Gertrude got you started on a tea pot collection by giving you two of her own pots. You love to use them to make everyone some tea. They’re cute and you’re giving.
Supplies: patterned paper (My Mind’s Eye) * journal strip (Creative Cafe) * angel wings + glimmer mist (Tattered Angels) * button * brad from unknown source).
First Phone Call
Journaling reads: Kindergarten–your first social phone call. Was it Aubrey? I can’t remember but I do remember how cute you were, how much you enjoyed a phone call. I also remember how you wrote her number down…all jumbled up, because at this age, you don’t comprehend top-to-bottom, right-to-left order.
Supplies: cardstock (Bazzill) * patterned paper (Basic Grey) * ribbon, button, letter stickers.
The Hyman’s Love Biscuits
Journaling reads: Love them with jelly, honey, gravy. Love them fat. Trin and Aiden love to punch them out. We make them a lot. Yummy.
Supplies: cardstock (Core’dinations–notice the light sanding in the right corners revealed a lighter inner core color) * patterned paper (7 Gypsies–this is their new Victoria line, which I LOVE!) * tags (Stampin’ Up) * Glimmer Mist (Tattered Angels) * large brad (Bazzill) * rhinestone (Creative Imaginations) * crochetted lace.
I used Tattered Angel’s Glimmer Mists on the tags (left), which used to be cream, and on the angel wings. On the tags I sprayed Tiger Lilly and Garden Fairy. For the wings I used Pearl, then dipped the edges in Robin’s Egg Blue and Patina. I also added a tiny bit of Stickles in Platinum.
