Pages and More Pages

Here I have several more scrapbook pages.  There are SO many to do if I'm to complete this project!  Most of them use HOTP paper - I'll note if the paper isn't theirs.  

Page #1 (above):  This page uses 3 different papers - 1 a dark blue glimmer paper.  Stickers from my stash were used for the lettering.

Page 2:

The embellishments were fussy cut from ones I printed from the internet.  Once again, there are 3 different HOTP papers.  As you can see, I used the  darker one to die cut the title.

Page #3:

This time I actually used 4 different papers (not counting the white), since the title is die cut from some dark blue glimmer paper.  I used a Sharpie pen to ink the edges of the papers & to write the little bit of journaling.

Page #4:

Here I have 1 patterned paper & then two colors of card stock.  The embellishments are again fussy cut from internet downloads.  The title was die cut from the darker card stock using a HOTP die, and then two mats were fussy cut - one from the light card stock, and another from the darker.  The lettering was created using a Sharpie pen.

I picked the dark green paper as the background - and then by the time I was done with the page, you can barely see it - just looks like a mat for the title & journaling!  Most of these pictures were Polaroids so I couldn't crop them.  That meant in order to get them all on the page, I had to overlap 3 of them to create a border of sorts as you see at the top.  The focal is double matted - first with a cream colored print, and then with some red glimmer paper.  The red top and bottom of the picture border is red sticky-backed ribbon from my stash.  Another piece of the cream colored paper forms the title/journaling block.  The title is stickers from my stash.  The writing was done with a fine-line marker - which I also used to draw a bit of a border around the journaling block.

Pages #6 & 7:

As you can see, this is a dual page layout.  The flowered background paper is from HOTP, but the dotted white is from a bunch of hand-made paper purchased years ago at Costco.    The rest, I'll detail as we look closer at each individual page.

Page #6:

Here, the white part of the Polaroid picture was a bit stained, so I used a piece of the plain card stock that I used for a mat for the focal picture and journaling to cover that discoloration & give a spot to add information to the picture.  The journaling was made using a fine-line marker - except on the focal picture where I needed to use a fine line Sharpie since it was a semi-gloss paper.  The title was die cut from glittered card stock.

Here, in addition to the papers & pictures, I added an embellishment that I cut a long time ago on my Silhouette.

Page #8:

I'm glad I have the pictures, but Polaroid pictures REALLY make things more difficult since I can't crop them!  Here you see 3 of them - made into a border something like I did a few pages back.  Journaling on the pictures was made using a black fine-line Sharpie.  The acetate pieces are from a HOTP booklet (I used very fine mesh dot adhesive to add them), and the "Happy Birthday dear daughter" was a sticker from my stash.
