A Stella Paper Layout

This layout was inspired by a Florentine Layout done by Annette Green. It is fairly simple, uses a large 8x6 photo and 2 4x3 photos. Different size photos add interest not only to the layout but also to the album you are putting them into.

On this layout I also got to use some of the My Reflections Complements Canvas Shapes. These are pretty cool embellishments. They are ink printed right on the self adhesive canvas. It gives it a rich unexpected feel. But the best part is you get 2 6x12 sheets filled with swirls, flowers, tree limbs, birds, sentiments and more for only $5.95. Close To My Heart has really outdone themselves in designing these, they are definitely a must have.

All supplies are from Close To My Heart unless otherwise noted:

Stamping on Ribbon

I know that I am always talking about the Workshops on the Go Kits and the layouts they have instructions for, so today is going to be no different LOL. I used an old Workshop On the Go Instruction pamphlet from the Veranda Kit and used my New Stella Papers and this is the result. The basic Idea is the same but with different papers and embellishments you would never know it was the same sketch.

One other thing that I like to do that I haven’t done in a while is to stamp a saying on ribbon. I have lots of narrow sayings that work perfect for this. I used the sayings that came with the Retro Tech stamp set to stamp “Moments to live for” on the left page and “Picture Perfect” for the right page. Some ribbon works better than others for stamping on but the Color Ready seam binding works great. Make sure you don’t press to hard or the stamp will squish down and become distorted. Also darker inks will help you to see the saying better too.
