So Awesome | No Limits collection | Tarrah McLean
Hi creative friends!
It’s Tarrah back with you and today I am very excited to share with you my first layout featuring the awesome NEW No Limits collection!
This collection is just amazing and I absolutely LOVE that I can create boy layouts with it! You do not have to have boys though as the colours and so many of the elements can be used for any themed projects too!
I decided to create a 12′ x 12′ layout with a frame look. I gutted some of the middle of the yellow side of the Latitude paper to create the frame. I then machine stitched around the opening in black thread. I added craft foam underneath the frame and then adhered it to the Stardust paper. I like how this created a shadow and added some dimension to my layout. I took the teal coloured A5 paper from the A5 paper stack and cut a strip to fit vertically down the right side of my page. I knew that this was where I was going to place my photo and some of the detail so this paper helped to ground these elements to the background. Next I cut out the rainbow stripe strip of paper from the Universal paper and adhered it horizontally along the bottom of the layout – leaving about a 2 inch gap from the edge of the yellow frame.
I added foam tape underneath the photo of my son and and layered one of the frames from the ephemera pack and also took one of the 3′ x 4′ cards and layered this slightly to the left of the photo. I also adhered one of the arrow die cuts here and added the You’re the Best chipboard from the chipboard pack. The Cool Kid sticker is from the Accessory sticker sheet and I placed that below the You’re The Best chipboard piece. My title is So Awesome and is made up of the awesome Die-Cut titles. I popped these up using foam tape as well. On top of the photo in the top right corner I stapled a banner sticker from the Accessory sticker sheet. Below the title, I added some more phrase stickers and the Born to be Awesome chipboard piece.
Whenever I create a layout, I always start off with the larger elements on my page like the photo, the papers and the title, I then add the smaller embellishments at the tale end of my project like puffy stickers, small die-cuts, wooden buttons and accessory stickers. Above the photo I added the chipboard banner piece that says Fun Fun and added some stars here is puffy and die-cut form. On the right of the photo, I added the tab sticker from the Accessory sticker sheet, in the bottom right corner of the photo, I added a puffy sticker star and a wooden button. At the beginning of the word ‘So’ I added another die-cut star and layered a puffy star over the top also.
Lastly I stamped the date stamp and my layout was complete.
