Come Away With Me 2 Pager ~ FotoBella DT

   The fabulous, vintage travel collection, Come Away With Me, by Graphic 45, from FotoBella, was just made for this gorgeous photo of my husbands late grandmother, that I scrapped into a 2 pager! The first page is actually the back of the cover page that I made in my last post, for an album that I'm making for my sister-in-law. I kept it real simple, just adding lace trim to the punched paper strip, which I  stitched, to tie the two pages together.

     On the second page I used the Journaling and Ephemera Cards , and layered them with some postage stamps, which I cut with decorative scissors from the 12 x 12 Cardstock Pad. Then I inked all of the edges with Frayed Burlap Distress Ink. The date was stamped on top, and I finished it off with this old flower I had leftover from my Pinkish Pleated Flower Tutorial. I actually used it on a page that I scrapped of my own grandmother. I just added a pearl for the center.

Thanks for the visit, and enjoy your weekend!

     I've had an old photo album that my sister-in-law has wanted me to scrap for her for over a year now, of her and my husbands late grandmother. But I've been waiting to find the perfect papers, and though I did find a great line that I got a few months ago, the album has still been sitting there untouched. Until I saw this new fabulous collection (Come Away With Me ) by Graphic 45, from FotoBella. The best part is that the colors go perfectly with the other papers that I got, so I can use both. The vintage travel theme is exactly what I had in mind, since she used to be a flight attendant. Here is the first cover page!

     I started by inking and distressing the map background. Then I punched and layered some papers from the 6 x 6 Cardstock Pad behind the photo. I stamped her name on the tag and the postage on the Journaling and Ephemera Card with the plane on it. The button on the bottom left, circle stone on the tag, and flower centers once belonged to her or her late daughter. The green flower center use to be earrings, and the center of the other flower was once a bracelet.  I love tearing things apart to recycle them into something beautiful, and adding a personal touch at the same time!

Thanks for your visit!

     The beautiful, new collection (Come Away With Me), by Graphic 45, from FotoBella, is perfect for all of your vintage photos, especially with a travel theme! I scrapped this photo from 1924 of a relative of mine on my Dad's side of the family.

   I layered the papers and Journaling and Ephemera Cards behind the circle Coredinations cardstock, which I embossed and lightly sanded, to create small waves. Then I masked the compass and watermarks with Distress Inks (Frayed Burlap and Broken China), using the Tim Holtz Compass and Splatters Stencil.

 I used a Prima stamp for the script on the post card and the round Journaling Chipboard that I used over the photo. From the same package, I used the small chipboard pieces for the centers of my Prima flowers, which were misted and sprayed first. I also stamped the date on the chipboard tag.

   I finished it up with some ribbons, and hand-stitching! 

Thanks for looking!
