So Inquisitive

It's a much nicer day here today. It's so good to see some sunshine!

Here's a layout that was published in Scrapbooking Memories Vol 14, No 8. The layout is about my gorgeous nephew Archie. It's amazing how kids at that age want to check out everything. Even the cord for the blinds is a source of amusement and wonder.




I love the Cosmo Cricket and October Afternoon papers in this layout. They've been around a while now but I was just using up leftover pieces from other layouts. The two types of stitching around the edges give a more interesting look and I stitched around the scraps of paper behind the photo to give this simple layout a bit more oomph. I also used full stops and dots from the letter "i"s from a pack of Thickers for the spots scattered around the layout. I love this simple way of adding depth and interest to a page.

This page can be made very quickly and simply. To make it even quicker, just draw lines around the papers instead of stitching them. Add four photos and there's another page done.

Enjoy your day!

Heather
