For this weeks memory keeping Monday I’m sharing this Life Crafted traveler’s notebook layout. It’s also a great project to highlight patterned paper, which is my focus all month long.
I don’t often use patterned paper as a background for my layouts, even in my traveler’s notebook. However, because these photos are very bright with lots of white, I thought a patterned paper background would work well. So I pulled out the Let’s Go Fishing dsp (on sale until June 30th).
The Let’s Go Fishing dsp is such a great paper pack for creating masculine projects so it works well for these photos of my boys. I felt like the pattern I chose still needed a little something so I stamped a couple images from the Nature’s Prints stamp set. It’s a great way to add some subtle detail to the dsp and then also adds interest to the white background.
Another way I incorporated patterned paper on this layout is by matting the photos with it. This is a fabulous way to use up some of the scraps that you have.
I encourage you to pull out some patterned paper and play with it this week!
Until next time,
