This is a double page layout for a 12 x 12
scrapbook album. It has a "In the Kitchen"
theme and I've handdrawn and paper pieced my
little bear that is holding a mixing bowl.
On the FIRST page there are two photo mats, the
beginning of the title and a lined journaling
box that I've made. There is a banner style
kitchen curtains at the top of the top photo mat
and the first photo mat on the left has brown
grosgrain ribbon that your photo will slide
easily behind and one has my handmade flower at
the top and below has mixing bowls. They are
layered on top of eachother with the second one
being "lifted" off of the page to give it
dimension. Then there is my little girl! She has
an apron on and it has a satin ribbon along the
waist. It also starts the old fashioned looking
rolling pin that is in the center. I love adding
this element to two page layouts, because it
really gives it a "full spread" look. There's
also the jar of sugar.
On the SECOND page, there are 4 photo mats. The
top are 4 x 6 and the bottom ones would be
wonderful for about a 3 x 3 photo. On the first
photo mat there is more ribbon (which your photo
will slide behind), a flower, a wooden spoon
embellishment, and the vintage inspired
chocolate sign. Then there is the other photo
mat underneath. With the bottom photo mat there
are more embellishments such as the flour jar
and the start of the little quote which reads
"If a messy kitchen is a happy kitchen, then
mine's delirious" and then I've added a glossy
epoxy style decal that reads "Happy Times." Then
there is the photo mat on the right which also
has scalloped style corners, and below that is
the 4th photo mat of the page. This has a little
heart and a bowl.
I've tinted the edges of all embellishments to
give them dimension and detail. Your photos will
slide easily under the 4 x 6 photo mats.
