Jen's Scraptography: Tummy Time Layout

I have a fun layout for you today that features a cute paper line by Little Yellow Bicycle called Babysaurus. I just love the cute dinosaurs and the beautiful colors. Let me show you what I created!

I had these three photos of my son that I really wanted to feature. I love clean block type layouts so a row of the three photos was the way to go. I then had space on either side of the photos to fill. I used that space to place embellishments, a title, and my journaling. After picking three patterned papers from this line I got to work!

This paper line is adorable! I just love the dinosaurs and knew that I wanted to feature one as an embellishment. I fussy cut around this guy leaving a small white border. I then placed him on one of the patterned papers matted with white cardstock. A corner chomper and some brads finish off this adorable addition to the page.

I also used some popdots to add some dimension. I love how it stands out on the page.

Banners are in right now so I wanted to include some on my page. This was the perfect spot to add my title. Using the same blue and orange paper I made two banners. The different lengths and widths add some fun to the page. I also used more brads to tie this area with the embellishment and journaling spot. I also used both the blue and orange paper in all three spots. This creates a visual triangle to lead you around the page.

Here is a closeup of these great Thickers I used for my title. Both the font and color were just perfect for this page!

I love how something as simple as a brad can have such a big impact. I have so many brads and I'm always glad when I use them on a page. I also used my Gellyroll Stardust pen to add a little sparkle to the orange paper.

I love to journal on vellum. Sometimes I'll print journaling on my computer but a lot of times I like to use my own handwriting. I have a great tip for keeping that journaling straight. I took a piece of notebook paper and traced all the lines with a black marker using a ruler.
