Ally- Month 1

Hello! 
Sharing a layout that was inspired by Ali Edwards’ Type class. The assignment was to create a layout with hand writing.

I have been slowing making layouts for my daughter Ally’s baby album. 

I decided to find a pink stripe background paper that O could hand write a sentiment over and over to modify the pattern.


The paper I found was from an old Dear Lizzy paper. The banner was created with a Crate Paper cut-a-part that also had the Love piece. I used a triangle banner punch and alternate, using papers that coordinated with the cut a part.

I also used some velvet paper from SEI for the title block. I cut the month 1 circle title with my silhouette.

On the lower section of the paper (designed to be the top but I flipped the pattern) there were blocks of different sizes. Wasn’t sure how to fill it. Decided to repeat my hand writing in the big block. The long strips I used an old Technique Tuesday/Ali Edwards baby stamp set. The little ones I inked 3 rows of another oldie but goodie stamp set from TT/AE.

Sprinkled some sequins as a finishing touch.

Enjoying learning about Type and playing around with the class assignments has be a lot of fun!
