Have you ever made your own scrapbook page background designs? I got the idea to give this a try and I am so happy I did. I knew from the start that I wanted to use the Verdant Garden stamp set and randomly stamped the two images all over a piece of 12x12 Whisper White card stock:
Because this set is photopolymer it was so easy to stamp one image on top of the other.
Next I decided to feature only one single photo on my page.
But that single layer seemed a bit lost on my page so I added a journaling layer and used two of the sticker strips in the Magnolia Lane Memories & More card kit on either side. The phrase comes from the Colorful Seasons stamp set:
Of course the photo I select to feature on this page will really make it a stand out and I hope that for now I have given you some courage to make your own background paper on your next pages. It's fun especially when you can:
- choose your colors: soft, bright, coordinating, contrasting
- choosing stamp set designs: large, small, layered (like mine)
- choosing where to stamp: across the top, bottom, up one side or both, or randomly like I did
- create pages that are a perfect match for your photos and memories, now or in the future
