A Layout Using Stamps with Elisa

Hi everyone!

Let me tell you something about how I create my Layouts. Very often, when I begin a new project, I decide some "goals". For example this time I decided these things:

1. Use only 3 cardstocks

2. Use lots of stamps to create the background and embellishments

3. Use only 1 other scrapbooking product (in this case, I chose the "Boulevard" Alpha Thickers)

So this in my new LO "Shining"

I chose 2 card stock papers from the Family Heirlooms collection: Trinkets as LO base; Ancestors for the four frames. Then I also used a cardstock paper from the Garden Grove collection (Remember) for stamping!!

I chose two stamps for the background: the spots of  "Terrific Textures" (in brown)  and the wonderful "Newsprint" (in black).

I chose "Times Past" and "Family Heirlooms" for all the embellishment elements: flowers, leaves, the clock, the key, the postage stamps.

I also stamped in black one of the sentence in "Quotations" stamp set: this one was perfect for this LO for two reasons: it fits perfectly in the frame and.... I love smiling :)

I printed the pictures a little smaller than the frames and stuck them to the Layout with foam tape.

Smile and shine... And remember: "Life is a beautiful ride" (Bicycles stamp set)
