Double layout "Dream Rides"

Hello! Have you seen the great contest over at Page Maps blog? Check out all of those sweet embellishments we can win!!! I decided to do a layout based on the sketch and give it a try.

Here's the sketch they provided.

 

I made mine into a 2 page layout...that's just how I roll.

The pics are from the Detroit Auto Show that my guys try to get to each year. This year they met up with family and had a great time dreaming about their next car!! Yea....well they're probably never going to own one of these, but it's free to dream, right?



My favorite display from the pics they took is the cool green car in the center here which they displayed on an orange track like a HotWheels car...Pretty cool!!

Here are some closeups of the diecuts and embellishments, including my cute little flag. I freehanded it, and think it turned out pretty cute. I popped up the center to give it some life. The sketch used a file tab as a matt behind the main pictures, so I cut this one with my Art Philosophy Cricut cartridge and used metallic dots on each side of the tab.

I topped the smaller star with a circle and cut in at an angle towards the center all the way around to give it a spiral lok and added another metallic dot in the center. Like the sketch, I tucked my journaling tag behind one of the photos so as not to detract from the pictures.

Thanks for stopping by my blog today!! Have a marvelous week and I hope you are able to work in some time to do what you love. =)

Double layout - "Fast Rides"

Hello! I finished this layout recently of pictures that my husband took at the Detroit Auto Show earlier this year. My husband took Jacob and met part of his family there and they all had a great time checking out all of the fast rides...

The title was cut with Nate's Alphabet (Cricut) font for the caps, and Lyrical Letters for the remainder. I had a bunch of pictures, but I didn't want to do more than one two-pager on the event. I printed most of the pictures in wallets.

I used a few SU stamps in the corners. I wish they had come out a little darker.

I took this closeup so I could point out my favorite car....I wasn't there, but as I looked through the photos, I asked myself which of these rides I might pick...This is the one! They would all be a VAST improvement on what we're driving now. Honestly, though, I'm happy if they're dependable and I don't care too much about the rust...lol!

 I laid this out on two perpindicular lines. This method really helped get them all on here in a pleasing way. The few larger pictures became the focal points. Inserting the journalling spot into the mix helps break it up a little and give it character.

Thanks for stopping by!
