Step-by-Step: Sharing Secrets

by Tara Daigle (Jun 22, 2006)

The Heartwarming Vintage line from Crafty Secrets is full of versatile stickers and cutouts. I used products from this line to complete this layout of my boys at the beach. Here is how you can re-create this layout.

Supplies:

  • 2 sheets of 8.5" x 11" cardstock (brown and natural)
  • 8.5" x 1" scrap of patterned paper
  • 7 3/4" x 3 1/4" scrap of patterned paper
  • small scraps of patterned paper for photo corners
  • Crafty Secrets Heartwarming Vintage Booklet (Wacky and Wonderful vintage images)
  • Crafty Secrets Heartwarming Vintage Stickers (Dog's Life)
  • assorted buttons
  • stapler and staples
  • Making Memories foam stamps
  • brown ink
  • Creative Memories corner rounder
  • sandpaper
  • 4" x 6" photo
  • Sakura pen for journaling

Instructions:

  1. Trim the brown cardstock to 8" x 10 1/2". Use your corner rounder to round the corners, then ink the edges. Adhere it to the natural cardstock.

  2. Add the 8.5" x 1" strip of patterned paper approximately 2" from the top of the layout. Add the larger scrap of patterned paper approximately 1.5" from the bottom of the layout. I used Chatterbox patterned paper from my collection of scraps.

  3. Sand the edges of your photo and adhere it to your layout over the top strip. Leave room at the top of your layout for a border and on the left for your sticker. Trim small corners of patterned paper and add them to the corners of your photo.

  4. Use your foam stamps and ink to add the title to the bottom scrap.

  5. Trim the letters for "sharing" from the Crafty Secrets booklet, add staples to the letters and then adhere them overlapping the bottom scrap.

  6. Add a row of buttons across the top and three buttons in the bottom left corner.

  7. Add your stickers and journaling.

Note: Ink the edges of all your papers, stickers and letters before adding them to your layout.
