Sometimes just the littlest thing can spark inspiration for a new scrapbook page. A few days back I stumbled upon this sketch on the My Mind's Eye blog, by Anam Stubbington:
The colors in the sketch reminded me of MME's Love Me collection, which I had just recently purchased a few pieces from. That was all the motivation I needed to pull out a sweet picture of baby girl and her daddy and get to work on this:
Here's a closer look at the journaling and grouping of flags. I used lots of diecuts from the 'Love Me' accessory sheet and simply punched holes in them and strung them onto some bakers twine to create this fun little grouping. I even dug into the depths of my scrapbooking stash to unearth and use a few eyelets (gasp!) on the flags.
It's hard to tell in the full size picture that I machine stitched large circles on the page background, to subtly mimic those in the sketch. Here's a closer look at the one in the upper left corner:
For the title I dug into my chipboard stash for the 'love' word and grabbed some 'naked' American craft letter thickers for 'new'. Since both started out as raw chipboard, I was able to paint them to properly coordinate with my page. I finished off the title with a circle diecut from the 'Love Me' accessory sheet, to fill in the center of the 'O'.
I'm having so much fun scrapbooking with pink for a change. Can you tell? ;) As always, thanks for stopping by!
