CHERISH PRECIOUS MOMENTS | MORE THAN WORDS | LAURA ALBERTS

Hey y’all! I’m back with a fun and page-filling take on Tarrah’s awesome challenge in the International Scrapbook Day Event happening RIGHT NOW on Facebook! I hope you will join us for some fantastic inspiration and a few freebies too! In Tarrah’s challenge, we are encouraged to use multiple photos and a multiple font title, so I decided to push this challenge to the max! Using 5 photos and a 6 word title, then filling the whole rest of the page, collage-style. It was so much fun to fill every nook and cranny of this page, let me tell you! Seriously, satisfying!

These photos are of my oldest daughter’s experience homeschooling and I really wanted to include as many as possible for this layout. The best way that I know how to make photos like these pop on the page is to let the bold colors shine in the photos and focus on softer colors in the background. That meant the stunning More Than Words collection would be perfect for this one! These sweet florals and soft pastels made a lovely backdrop and accent.

My favorite part of piecing together this fabulous layout was the title. Using a mix of chipboard, ephemera, and stickers to make an elaborate title was a technique that’s new to me, but that I really enjoyed! My sweet girl is an over-the-top, exuberant personality, so it just seemed fitting that the title of this layout be dramatic and divine, just like her. I often try to incorporate the feeling of the moment or the personality of the photo’s subjects into the design of my layouts. It’s a fun way to make each layout feel like an experience, rather than just a documentation of memories!

I hope you find some inspiration in this design and join us for even more challenges in the International Scrapbook Day event on Facebook! If you’d like to see the process of how this layout came together, be sure to watch the video below. Enjoy your lovely scrappy weekend, my friends!
