Little Pumpkin

Every now and then it’s fun to throw together a layout in a jiffy. This one was created in 15 minutes or less!

Materials used: 1 sheet of 12×12 orange patterned paper, white card stock, scalloped corner punch, a strip of decorative overlay, a handful of orange buttons, 2 green brads, white and green tempura paint, assorted letter rubons, adhesive, scissors, paper piercer.

I began by using the corner punch on each of my photo’s. Then I adhered them to white card stock and trimmed around to make a border. Once again I use the corner punch to continue the scalloped look.

I adhered the photo’s in place and then added the overlay strip. Instead of using glue, I used my paper piercer to poke through the overlay and background paper so I could attach it to the paper with  the green brads.

For the title, I accidentally messed up on the placement of my “L”, so I used some white tempura paint to cover it up and found a  different rubon color to use in it’s place. To even out the title, I used the same letter colors at the end of “Little Pumpkin”.

I glued my buttons in place to go along with the pumpkin patch theme and distressed the edges of the lay out with the green tempura paint using a make up sponge.

I wrote a little bit of journalism along side of the overlay strip and that’s it!

  1. I like to idea of using brads to attach the paper instead of glue. Sometimes when I am scrapbooking all day, I run out of adhesive and that would be a good alternative to keep in mind. I also like that you described what you did to cover up a mistake. We all make mistakes and it is nice to get ideas on how we can cover it up and no one would ever know.
