Music & More

Today I have 5 more scrapbook pages.  

Page #1 (above): This first page is inspired by an old pagemaps sketch.  The background is pieced together and taped in place so I had more of each left over should I need it.  As you can see, I matted the photo & journaling block in black.  Various elements from my stash serve to decorate the page.  The title is from a Scrapbooking Dazzles set (HOTP).

Dual Page Spread:

Pages 2 & 3 form a dual page spread.  Below is a closer look at each page:

Page 2:

The background paper for this page and the next one came from an 8 x 8 set of papers called "Wedding" (HOTP).  The title and hearts on this page came from a scrapbooking set that's been in my stash for lots of years - not sure where I got it or who made it.  On top of the one heart is a Hunkydory sentiment from one of their little books of sentiments.  As you can see, I matted the focal photo with a wide white mat (actually printed it & cut it with a wide white mat), and then a narrow piece of the card stock that was also used top and bottom to form borders.  I also used it to mat the journaling block, though I didn't mat the 2nd photo.

Page #3:

Once again I have card stock borders top & bottom to tie this page to the previous one.  I double matted the photo with the red & then a navy blue.  I took a heart-shaped doily from my stash & cut out the center - then matted it with more of the card stock and added a bit of journaling before putting it back in place with foam tape.  The lower embellishment is from a Tonic die set (Occasions Pop-Up Sentiments) backed with a white mat & then a navy mat (Circle dies from Lifestyle).

Page #4:

This page is 90% from the HOTP Finished in a Flash Baby Boy scrapbooking set.  The label that says "Sweet Girl" is from their Baby Girl set, but I added new "attachments" by cutting smaller buttons from larger ones (also from the Baby Boy set).  

Page #5:

This last page started with a page from the Provo Craft Your Story book binder set that I've used for previous pages.  To this, I added photos, a sticker title from my stash, labels at the top (also from my stash) and an embellishment in the lower left corner that came from the Baby Boy Finished in a Flash set (HOTP).
