Crate Paper’s Toy Box collection is one of the best boy lines that Kathie has seen. It is versatile, colourful and the images contained within it are totally spot on for busy little boys. Even for little superheroes!
As the photos of Jamie dressed in his Batman costume (with a Ben10 undershirt!) were so precious, Kathie chose to keep the embellishment on her layout to a minimum so that the photos really shine on the page. She’s used the Border Stickers and Trims to add some colour above and below the photos, then added some Chipboard Accents. The bats were cut from black cardstock.
The Neighbourhood collection is among Iris' most loved lines from Crate Paper. Iris cut apart the border stickers to create a fun and funky edge. A bit of misting, layering of embellishments and the addition of brads in the edges of the layout results in a page where you find so many details to look at. Crate always comes up with gorgeous and fun designs which makes designing this page seem like a breeze for Iris.
Here is another layout from Iris this time using the Emma's Shoppe line. Iris added a bit of stamping to the background to further emphasize the vintage and shabby chic look and feel of this sweet page about her daughter.
This next layout is by Georgia Keays, Perth. Georgia has used Toy Box with a little bit of Emma’s Shoppe thrown in. We loved her title treatment – the clustering, the mixture of fonts and colours. Can you see that she's curled the letters on the title words so they bend up off the page. Isn't it effective!
This is another page by Georgia Keays. We loved the title of this page, and just had to know more. Georgia tells us that the page is all about how you can tell how naughty her son is being from listening to the pet name she chooses to call him. Toy Box papers and embellishments are paired here with a neutral kraft background, twine and frayed fabric, giving a delightful worn and textured feel. Thanks Georgia!
