This week I have made new projects to share with you, using the MEDITTERANEAN BLOOMS SUITE COLLECTION.
My thoughts about this suite went to Italy! I remember when I was in Sorrento seeing the beautiful blues of the Meditteranean Sea, groves of citrus, aged olive trees and local Lemoncello brewers.
One of the amazing things about travelling is storing these memories and remembering them when we see, hear or smell something that triggers them. Sometimes those memories are recorded.
Today’s project is a memory keeping project.
When Rob and I travelled earlier this year, I took more than my usual share of photos. These scrapbooking pages feature some of the flowers I saw.
One day soon I hope that I learn how to take a straight photo of a scrapbook page.
For both of the scrap pages I used a 12″x 12″ Night of Navy card and added one of the designs from the Meditteranean Blloms Designer Series Paper. The paper was trimmed down to 11″x 11″.
The DSP design features small flowers which is perfect for these pages.
Each of the photos was cut using the Citrus Blooms Dies. For the centre photo, I cut the Basic White leafy frame and placed it over the photo using Adhesive Sheet.
The Mini Alphabet Dies were used to cut the title letters. I used adhesive sheets to secure the title.
Each of the photos have a small journalling tab attached, I used the Keeping Tabs punch and cut each in half and stapled them in place (yes, I still have my retired Stampin’ Up! stapler)
The final elements for each page were white flowers from the Petal Park Builder Punch.
The photos were all glued into place with the PHOTO SAFE Tombow Multipurpose Glue.
Tomorrow I have a simple technique to share with you.
Until then, happy stamping.
