Perfect Together | Doodlebug | Scrapbook Magazine #87

For issue #87 of Scrapbook Magazine UK I was asked to create a "Love" layout. Creating “love” layouts is something I do often. For today’s layout I chose to scrap about the special bond between my husband and our daughter. In December 2013 the two of them spent a few days in Venice and had an awesome time. Because I love seeing them enjoying each other’s company so much I wanted to scrap about it. To do this I chose a Valentine’s collection from Doodlebug Design, because I felt that this bright and colourful collection expresses exactly the story I wanted to tell. 


a few close-ups:




Designer Tips
Tip 1. When you can’t find the desired background (paper) use a die-cutting machine to create one, like this one with all the hearts. 
Tip 2. When you’re using mainly one colour for your layout, use elements with a different texture (like wood veneer, twine, metal) to create more depth. 
Tip 3. For a fun effect use the same photo twice and place one behind the other at a slight angle.

  2. Heel erg gaaf, Monique! Geweldig gecombineerd heb je alle mooie dingen op je LO. Venetië is geweldig, ben er drie keer geweest en elke keer was het weer prachtig.
