Play Time

I messed around with the tags on this layout.

I was amazed that for this layout I actually used some patterned paper as my background paper rather than my normal plain cardstock. Though I picked the background paper relatively quickly the rest of the layout took some playing around with.

When I first laid the photos down their crisp edges directly onto the paper did not look right. The photos got distressed with my Making Memories distress tool and nail file before being mounted onto cardstock, the mount and photos being further distressed.

The number and orientation of photos was different than the class layout, that and the wish to include journaling, meant that some playing around with where the tags went was required. And I actually used some metal word brads from my stash – bought when I first started scrapbooking!

I am pleased with the layout, and the “grunge” look this clean and simple girl normally does not go for.
