Hello lovely friends. Today I am sharing a layout created for Greatest View and our team up project with Jot Magazine.
Our challenge was to use the words "Greatest View" in either our title or our journaling. Our subject could be interpreted in any way we wanted. So how could I not use a photo of my kids! *grin*
"My Greatest View"
products used: pp - Carta Bella; Greatest View - Badges/flair (Chalkboard Hearts, Snapshot, Arrows), chevron ribbon (Aqua, pale blue); ALpha - Jillibean Soup, October Afternoon; other - Carta Bella (Rough & Tumble cardstock stickers), Echo Park decorative Brads, Crate Paper chipboard, felt, paper doily, embroidery thread, glimmermist (sunflower), Tim Holtz mini paperclip; tools - hand stitching, Alta Matz 'Hearts in a Row' stencil.
I have used my DT kit from The Scrapbook Store and the gorgeous Carta Bella Rough & Tumble collection. Who knew you could use it for more than just boyish pages! *grin* I just added a few heart shapes courtesy of the Alta Matz "Hearts in a Row" stencil. I just laid the stencil out flat on my base paper (the Carta Bella patterned paper is quite thick it could almost be classed as cardstock) and traced where I wanted the hearts to be placed on my LO. I then paper pierced the outline and spent a long time hand stitching with white embroidery thread. *grin*
The "Snapshots" badge/flair is a perfect little embellishment. I love the colours and the symbolism it adds to my page.
The other badges/flair I have used from the Greatest View shop are "Chalkboard Hearts" and "Arrows".
journaling says: "everyday I feel so blessed to be a part of their growing lives. it amazes me to know that I am so very lucky to help guide and nurture them. everyday my world revolves around being their mother & to see the path they choose to walk as they grow, is & always will be, my greatest view.."
