Themed Projects : Her Hat

I love <a href="http://twopeasinabucket.kaboose.com/shop.asp?derMars=2300EC [twopeasinabucket.kaboose.com]“> Anne Langpap's digital kits. </a> Her colors just work so well with my pictures and I love their bright cheerful energy. I've taken up knitting and my girls are at an age where they are still happy to wear my creations. So I'm milking it for all it's worth!

Open ”Colorful Circle Paper“ from the digital kit. Crop to 8x12” using the program's crop tool. Print (I used Epson Heavyweight Matte paper. It was originally 13x19“, so I trimmed it to 8.5 x 13 to fit my printer). 2. Layer over dark brown cardstock background. Add doodlebug frill along the right hand border. 3. Here's where I tried to get clever. I wanted to add some dimension to the paper, so I decided to print some of the circles on Imagination Project's raw white chipboard coasters. I did that by printing the paper again (I did it on a reduced ink setting), attaching the coasters with temporary adhesive, and running it through the printer again. I then detached the coasters and attached them to my page. In retrospect, this was a lot of work for very little effect. It would have been easier to get that same dimensional effect by printing the paper a second time, cutting out the circles I wanted to highlight, and then attaching them to the first paper with pop dots. Duh. 4. Arrange photos on page. Add title to bottom left photo. 5. Open the ”Today“ element from Kate Teague's Mark It Up kit. Resize to about 2.5 x 4.” Print and attach to right side of page. 6. Open labels from the TroPEAcal Bliss kit. Resize so that they are 3" long. Print, trim, and attach to page. 7. Journal on block and labels with black pen. 8. Attach brads.
