Here's The Story - 3 Girl JAM DT Day

Hello Crafty Blends

I hope you have stuck with

me through my irregular

absence

and are ready

to see my next

DT project for 3 Girl JAM!

I grabbed all of my

3 Girl JAM goodies

and couldn't decide

whether to use

the Hand Dyed Crinkle Ribbon, 

or the Canvas Border Strips, 

or the fun Heavy 3 Layer Twine

So.....

 I used THEM ALL on my layout!!!

I decided to do a fun Layout with a Boyish color scheme (blues and browns)

since I don't dabble too much 

with masculine projects.

I have some very fun baby pictures of Lance Jr.  

that I will have to hunt for

to put in this layout, 

but at least the layout is ready whenever I do find them.

I started by adding the Sky Blue twine to my photo mats

so it could serve as Photo Corners

to hold the pics in place.

Then I pleated the adhesive Canvas Border below the mats

using a Core'dinations border strip as my backing.

After adhering this together, I used an EK success punch to create

the trimmed edge.

 

I inked the edges of my mats using a Studio G brown 

to highlight the edges between the dp and the brown cs.

 

I used several stamps from my new

Ippity by Unity set

I received from the sweet Heather Flaherty!

called Life's Little Moments.

For the round date and journaling stamp, I inked it using TH

Vintage Photo, then adhered it to another piece of cs for support.

I then looped my Baby Boy Blue Crinkle Ribbon

and glued it using Tacky Glue to the back.  I added a 3rd circle

piece of card stock after this.

I used the same TH ink for the journaling box in the upper left corner, but

stamped the sentiment, "Here's the Story"

using Versa Magik - Sea Breeze.

The blue rectangle Labels are by Pebbles Inc.

The corsage pin was made me moiee'

and the faux stitching around the borders were created

using a Whisper Strokes - Dual Tip Watercolor Marker

Here is the full view of the completed Layout!

Keep Crafting 

:O)
