In this School themed LO, Janine decided to have some fun with the gorgeous range of Crate Paper by picking out the fun die-cuts to accent her page and using several layers of distressed paper to compliment her fun photos of her children at the beginning of the school term.
She added more dimension by creating a strip of rolled paper pieces, (Janine has been wanting to use this technique from the moment she saw Tracie Hudson create a page with rolled strips of paper) and a school page is the perfect place for them.
With her new found resolution to do more double page layouts, use more photos, and tell more stories, Suz found the Crate Paper Restoration line the perfect accompaniment to this layout. With its rich, deep hues it adds just the right touches to the page without overwhelming it.
Sue Tonga created this layout for the sketch challenge last year, but it’s such a great use of the Restoration line that we thought it was worth including again. We love the incredible attention to detail she has shown, from cutting and out and layering all those circles to the stitching round the chipboard elements.
Speaking of details, we couldn’t go past sharing this one from the master of details (and of Crate Paper!) herself – Christine Middlecamp. She defined the Restoration line with this wonderful layout, contained in its matted square, but bursting with inspiration from within. Thanks Christine – we love being able to showcase your work.
This LO by Cindy Stevens caught my eye immediately! I love the yellow background using the Restoration line and then she has teamed it up with the School Days line using wonderful design element of the circle. I also loved the way she embellished with just a few items that reinforce the school theme. Thanks so much for sharing this LO with us Cindy!
