8×8 layouts

Posted by DeAnna

For this Christmas I also created a few 8×8 layouts for the great-grandmas with the intention that we would send new layouts periodically to add to an album. Here’s a look at some of the pages I created:

And some closeups:

I used Basic Grey’s Oliver line for these layouts, incorporating the stamp sets, the 6×6 paper pad, sticker sheet, and paper ribbons. I used Distress Inks and clear embossing powder to create the title on each page. The background is American Crafts white cardstock that I heat embossed using Versamark and clear embossing powder. Then I used Faded Jeans, Antique Linen, Peeled Paint and my ink blender tool to distress and color the bottom of each page. I used a dry cloth to buff the embossed title to get rid of any ink that may have been left on the title. I made sure to color high enough onto the page to ensure there would be full coverage up to the photos. I added a border with paper strips on the sides and the paper ribbons at the top and bottom of each page. Then I stamped the shield onto one of the solid red papers in the 6×6 paper pad and fussy cut around the image. I used small foam dots to pop it off the page. I hand wrote in each shield with our kids’ names and the year. Finally, I added some stamping and stickers to finish each page off.

I think these layouts are adorable and I want to update them at least three or four times a year. All four of the great-grandmas live out of town and most don’t get to see the kids at all during the year so I thought it would be nice for them to see the kids growing up.
