The Story Behind the Photo | Storyteller Collection | Laura Alberts

Hey y’all! Laura Alberts here again with another t-ball layout using the gorgeous Storyteller collection. These fun photos of my daughter and my husband capture perfectly their bond. Sports aren’t really Olivia’s preferred activity, but she was more than happy to trail her Daddy around the ballfield. Love that these memories are preserved with this beautiful layout. Using this lovely sketch I created as a guide, I’m creating two clusters of photos and embellishments, connected by the title.

In the top cluster, I’ve added tags from cut apart in the A5 paper stack, with puffy circles in the holes. I’ve layered a frame to the right, peeking behind the photos and anchoring my title at the bottom. These sweet little butterflies are the perfect whimsical touch.

For my title, I pulled out an ephemera piece that perfectly nestles with this camera and a floral cluster to create a detailed connection between my two photos. I love the way the gold ink and Nuvo add a bit of texture and fun around the edges.

On the bottom photo, I’ve added a tab and a floral cluster with a chipboard banner, then tucked a journaling card behind it. This gives me a place to journal about the t-ball experience without taking away from the overall design. I especially love these little Nuvo butterfly trails, they add so much movement to the page!

I hope this sketch inspires you to try a new design! If you’d like to see this layout come together, check out the process video below!
