Hey
everyone! Here is a new layout for Lottie Loves Paper. I’m using the fabulous
School Life collection by Simple Stories.
I have one
of those school class photos to use today. At our school you have to buy
prints, you can’t get a digital copy, and the smallest size available is 5x7” which
is not my favourite size to scrap. Of course I have two of these – one for each
school child! AND I get them every year (except last year because school was
closed due to Covid). Because I am not overly keen on these photos but feel I
have to get them to document my childrens’ school journeys, I made it a rule
that I MUST scrap them straight away, otherwise I will keep putting it off and
then not do them. The School Life collection by Simple Stories absolutely made
this much easier than usual!
For this layout
I started with a sheet of white and the paper with all the paper clips on. I
trimmed this down a little, distressed the edges and stuck this to the white
cardstock. I absolutely love the paper with all the colourful rulers on it, so
I cut several of the apart and distressed the edges of each. I then layered
them onto the background, making a photo mat, and then added my photo on top.
I made a
little interactive card to hold my journaling. On one of the journaling cards
from the cut-apart sheets, I cut around the tab and the top. I was then able to
slide the card under my photo with the tab overlapping the top of the photo.
I added
several embellishments to this layout all from the School Life collection: Bits
and Pieces, Foam Stickers, little Puffy Stickers and I also added a big foam
word at the bottom: LEARN. To make the ‘Year 3’ title, I mounted tile alphabet
stickers and a number 3 from the School Life Sticker Book on to white card and
fussy cut them out. This is because the stickers in the Sticker Books are paper
stickers rather than card, and I wanted to raise them on foam pads. Mounting
them onto card first makes them sturdier and then they can be raised.
I finished off
with a few sequins and I also added a couple of staples to the top and bottom
of the layout.
Thank you
so much for joining me today and happy scrapping
