If you've arrived here from Kristy's blog, then you're on the right track. If you have no idea what I'm talking about, and want to get in on the fun, then I suggest you maximize your daily does of scrapbooking inspiration and start here, at the Kiwi Lane blog.
As a scrapper who likes to use a lot of bits and pieces, and add a lot of dimension to my layouts I was unsure if Kiwi Lane Designer templates would be for me. When I received my package of goodies, however, I knew these little gems would be easy to assimilate into my scrapbooking.
I worked with the Tiny Accent package for this hop.
I chose the star template to take centre stage on my layout. I really wanted to give it a work out and chose to create my own patterned paper by tracing and cutting out the shape all over the bottom half of the page, and backing the holes with co-ordinating patterned papers.
This is what I ended up with.
I love masking, and decided to give you a peek of what it would look like if I used the template to do that too. I decided to keep my template clean (you'll see why later), so I traced out some shapes on scrap paper, and used them instead.
Here is what the masking looked like after adding the alphabet title.
Once I had everything all together I decided that the stars needed just a tad more definition. To achieve the look I was after, I used my sewing machine to stitch around each star with dark grey thread.
My completed layout. Featuring our family Poodle Wilson, two of the Tiny Accent shapes, My Mind's Eye papers, and a variety of embellishments from my stash.
