Traditional Scrapbook Layout | Simply Wonderful
Here's a look at a new layout I put together featuring some of the glitter and sequin favorite finds featured on my blog today.
Here's the basic steps:
- Spritz some Heidi Swapp Color Shine onto Bazzill swiss dot cardstock for the background.
- Using the "simply wonderful" glitter banner as a guide, cut the photo and pattern paper to the same angle. These glitter stickers are temporarily adhered to a clear plastic backing which makes it great for playing with placement on your page before actually sticking it down.
- Adhere bottom pattern paper, then letter stickers for "so love you 2", the photo (I used foam dots to lift it up off the page), and the glitter banner title. I ended up adding the wood veneer heart when I realized that I had too much space between "you" and "2."
- Type journaling onto a Project Life grid card. I used an old cursive typewriter that Katie picked up a few weeks ago.
- Add a "happy day" tab behind journaling and adhere both.
- Staple sequin heart so that it overlaps the journaling and the pattern paper.

I really like this layout, I like how you cut the picture out in the same shape as the waving banners. I was wondering, how big is the over all size of this layout?
It's 8.5x11.

I love how little ones almost put each other in a choke hold when they hug or hang on to each other. Have so many great cousin pucs like this. Cherish than as I and my son are both only children who are lucky enough to have close cousins. Love the layout.

Searching for a cursive-typewriter font now:) Love the look (but not the $200+ pricetags on etsy). Lucky find, Katie!
Free font: scripts 12 Pitch BT is the only one I've found so far, though it leaves a bit too much space between some letters. Anyone else have any font suggestions?
The most amazing thing is that she found it at Goodwill for $2. Not a typo TWO DOLLARS.
Ali!! Are you serious? TWO DOLLARS!!! Yes, I'm shouting!! Far out, it's so excellent, good job Katie. She deserves a pay rise. :)

Thanks for doing a scrap book page. I hav'nt done one in over 2yrs. Makes me want to pull the mountain of paper out of my scrapbook closet. Would you think about making a page a month so that it would encourage us to get back into the hobbie.? I spent most of my time with PL.
Hi Susan - I've been doing a page each month for Technique Tuesday. You can see those here: http://aliedwards.com/projects/traditional-scrapbooking. They always post on the 10th of the month. I'm totally planning to do more in the year to come.

A cursive typewriter for $2?! What a score! Love your layout. I scrap 8.5x11 as well and I'm curious what size was your photo originally? Thanks Ali.
