Whimsy Stamps Guest Designer | Traveler's Notebook Layout

 

Hey, friends! Marsha Farris here with you again today, sharing a traveler's notebook layout for my final guest design post for Whimsy Stamps.

I created this spread to document a photo with my two sons, taken on Mother's Day this year. I began the layout by adding stamped splatters to each page with the Distressed Backgrounds and Ink Splats Stamps and light gray ink. This stamp set makes creating mixed media backgrounds so quick and easy! Next, I trimmed two strips of patterned paper from the Starring Hearts 6x6 Paper Pack and adhered them to the top of both pages. I did a bit more stamping at the top and bottom of the pages with the Get In Line Stamps using black and light gray ink. Next, I layered a few patterned papers from the same paper pack behind the photo. 

I typed my journaling, trimmed it into strips, and added it below the photo. I also trimmed out a few triangle pieces from a patterned paper and added them to the page. I love the pop of yellow this provides!

Using the Happy Large Word Die and a few patterned papers, I cut out the word "happy" three times to serve as a portion of the title. I completed the title with puffy gray letter stickers. 

Thank you, Whimsy Stamps, for having me as a guest designer! I have enjoyed creating with these amazing products!

Whimsy Stamps Guest Designer | Traveler's Notebook Layout

Hey, friends! I'm excited to be with you today, sharing a traveler's notebook album layout for my first guest design post for Whimsy Stamps!

I created this spread to document my little niece's favorite birthday gift. I began by trimming two pieces of white cardstock to fit as full pages in my album. I added splatters to each page using black acrylic paint and a paintbrush. I chose a watercolor floral patterned paper from the Fabulous Florals Paper Pack and cut out several gorgeous flowers and flower clusters. Next, I trimmed a black and white striped paper from the same paper pack on the diagonal and cut it into a few strips, allowing space to tuck the fussy cut flowers.

I used another striped paper to back my photo and trimmed it into a tag shape. Tags are always a favorite, so I could not resist including one on the layout!  

Using the Happy Large Word Die and black cardstock, I cut out the word "happy" to serve as a portion of the title. I completed the title with the Cross-Stitched Sentiments Stamp. Then, I did more stamping above the photo with the same stamp set and black ink.

I love how my layout turned out using Whimsy Stamps products!

Thank you so much for stopping by today! I will see you again soon with more inspiration!

3-to-Inspire Life Crafted Layout | Citrus Twist Kits

  

Hey, friends!  It's Marsha here today with another 3-to-Inspire challenge!  I used mainly products from this month's release to create this layout in my Life Crafted album.

Here are this week's prompts:

1. Create a grid design
2. Use cork embellishments
3. Incorporate hidden journaling

For my layout today, I knew I wanted to use a grid design and include some of my favorite patterned papers from the Peachy Keen 6x8 Paper Pad.  I trimmed three of the papers into 2x2 inch squares and arranged them, along with some ephemera pieces from the Butterflies and Tags Die-Cut Ephemera, in a grid design on the page.  I considered using a Life Crafted page protector but opted to create the design on white cardstock instead.  This allowed me to add more dimensional elements and include a longer chipboard title. 

I created the title using the Woodgrain Chipboard Alphabet Stickers.  I also used a border punch to punch a scolloped strip of woodgrain paper and added it below the title.  I like the added detail this provides, and it also helps to ground the title.  To complete this side of the layout, I embellished a few of the squares with the Loved This Day Puffy Stickers and the Chasing Rainbows Cork Stickers.

For the other side of the layout, I layered patterned papers from the Peachy Keen 6x8 paper pad behind my photo and created a pocket to hold my journaling tag.  

I typed my journaling and printed it on a digital journaling card from the May 2021 Digital Journaling Cards.  I trimmed the card into a tag shape and added a strip of patterned paper to the top of the tag for extra interest.  I slipped the tag into the pocket behind my photo.  Incorporating hidden journaling is a great way to include the story without it being a feature on the layout.

I love how this spread turned out using the products from this month's release!  

I hope you are inspired to use these 3-to-Inspire prompts on your next project!  Thank you for stopping by today!
