This page will go in my album next to the Fourth of July layout, so I chose a paper with similar colors. However, this page relates a separate story so I did not go with the patriotic color scheme. Instead I pulled some Tim Holtz metal embellishments from my stash to cover the pre-printed buttons. I only had a few, but Robbie saved the day by finding additional items in his workbench stash.
I included a few more pieces from Robbie on the journal box. It's hard to see in the photo, but the embellishment on the right has the words "on" and "off" etched in it.
I used strips of cardstock to cover the pencil and apple border, and Robbie even had a mini wrench that I used as another embellishment near the title.
Daddy's been using that great ingenuity all my life, and today he celebrates his 66th birthday!
Happy Birthday Daddy!!
happy birthday to your daddy! what a cheerful layout
ReplyDeleteThe idea of printed pages is really winning me round now that I've seen what you can do with one.
ReplyDeleteI hope your dad has a great birthday!
Happy birthday to your dad! :)
ReplyDeleteI find this kind of paper challenging, but I love how you've used it here, great layout x
You are doing a marvelous job reinventing the printed pages. If I had not seen the originals I wouldn't have known how they started out.
ReplyDeleteHappy 66th to your dad! Great use of the papers :)
ReplyDeleteI'm happy to say that I don't think that I have any more pre-printed papers. I have a hard time moving past the given spaces. I'm getting better with page kits but have similar issues.
ReplyDeleteGreat use of the papers and well done to Robbie for finding extra bits to complete the page. Your Dad and Wookie have similar BBQs and attitudes about fixing things. :)
