Pencil Lines + My Little Shoebox

Last week we worked with some My Little Shoebox products over at Pencil Lines.  Here's the sketch:

And my layout:

You can definitely see the sketch if you look at this shot of how the layout started:

I had just one sheet of patterned paper to work with, so this was definitely a make-it-work-the-first-time situation!  As you can see, I cut that piece of paper up and used the flowers as embellishments.  I used a lot of foam adhesive:

I painted the title and cut it out.  The journaling is printed on vellum and secured with washi tape:

Not my finest work, but sometimes you just need to get the memories into the scrapbook, know what I mean?

Thanks for stopping by!

  • The title is you but the rest is very different. I like the flowers and all the dimension that you created (just different that’s all).
