Here are my layouts:
You can see on this one that I changed the spacing of the layout to support 4×6 photos. If you look close or zoom in, you can also see that I had not erased the pencil lines I used when stamping my title. I think this is the best way to stamp with the Chocolate Alphabet that I used.
I just love how this layout worked so well with my daughters dance recital pictures! It’s really so much better in person. I left the felt rub-ons bare; I did not use the chocolate marker to outline them as instructed in the brochure. I also rotated the first page to better fit my pictures.
Product Highlight – Versamat
Z1279 Versamat $14.50
This cushioned, self-healing mat is perfect for creating your pages. The grid allows you to place different elements from a given pattern with precision. The reverse side is cushioned for stamping and protects your work surface as you apply conchos or nail heads, or use a piercing tool. (13″ × 13″ mat features a 12″ × 12″ grid.)
I highly recommend this mat. It is one of my must-have tools. I have a total of 3 of them. One is in my to-go bag (I don’t ever want to be without this). The other two are on my desk and used every time I scrap. I like using two because I often do two-page layouts and I can have both pages spread out on the mats.
