It's Wednesday, so we're half-way through the week! Yay! Today we're sharing Michelle's layout, which is super cute. Michelle had Nikki Sivils "We Are Family" paper line to work with and she used a sketch from PageMaps, which you can find at http://www.pagemaps.com/. Sketches are super helpful, and Michelle is amazing at taking a sketch and twisting it to meet her needs.
Title: Who's Stabled in Grant's Farm?
DT Member: Michelle McClure
Featured Collection: Nikki Sivils' "We are Family"
I love Michelle's layout, my favorite detail is her stitching and the color contrast in the pictures! Here's Michelle with a few tips!
1. Feel free to change up a sketch according to your own preferences and style. I like having more photos in a layout so I added 2 inches to the length of the photo sections. This gave me the chance to add three more 2 x 2 photos and increase the size of two of the photos on the sketch.
2. To focus in on the solo photo, I machine stitched around the central characters several times and added some twine. I was also going for a lasso look to match my horse theme.
3. The new Pearl Pens were a quick and easy way to add some dimension and pearls to a page without using messy liquid adhesives or heat.
4. The paper collection had a family theme which didn’t necessarily match my photos, but the colors were perfect. So feel free to use a collection for the patterns or colors even if you aren’t using the theme.
