Let’s Go! | Legendary collection | Mandy Melville

Hello everyone!

Mandy here today and I have a layout to share using the awesome Legendary collection! This is still one of my favourite collections to use for masculine themed projects, but the layout that I’m sharing today features a photo of my eldest daughter. This has been a year of milestones for her, one of which was getting her Provisional drivers licence. This got me thinking that I hadn’t yet documented the day that she got Learners licence, and so I printed off two photos, one of her holding her ‘L’ plates, and another from the first time she got behind the wheel. I then dug through my CVS stash and decided that the Legendary collection would be the perfect match for these photos!

I chose to use the Offbeat patterned paper as the background for my layout. I love the mixed media look that this gives the page without actually having to get messy! I then cut my title from white cardstock using my Silhouette Cameo and a cut file from Paper Issues. I decided on cutting the inside pieces for each of the words in the title out of a different patterned paper and chose to use the blue Offbeat paper, the yellow Wild One paper, as well as the red cut apart piece from the Total Legend paper. I adhered the white outline of the cut file title directly to the background, and then adhered each of the letters with craft foam to give them some nice dimension.

Next I was ready to add my photos and embellishments. I tucked one of the photos under the bottom left of the title, and the other under the top right. I then layered the woodgrain Outdoors Type patterned paper under both photos to help separate them from the background. I embellished around the photos with die cuts from the Ephemera pack.

Under the photo on the right I also added some Clear Stickers and Accessory Stickers. I love the way the clear stickers almost look like they’ve been stamped onto the page. I also tucked a compass die cut under the top left corner of the photo as I thought this suited the theme of the layout well, and it also balances out the circular die cut at the bottom of the page.

To finish the layout off I scattered around some star die cuts. I added a hand drawn border to the stars to give them some extra detail and to help them pop. I also adhered some with foam tape to add some more dimension to the page. Lastly, I added a few more little phrase stickers and my typed journaling.

Thanks so much for joining me here on the blog today! I hope that you enjoyed taking a look at my layout!
