This week's memory: Mother's Day

This Sunday we're celebrating Mother's Day. I wanted to create a non-conventional Mother's Day layout so I decided to journal on little jewelry tags that I cut with my Silhouette machine. This is a creative approach to using your scrapbook supplies for numbered journaling. You can also create a conventional list of items that you (or your Mother) does in your home.

Here is the layout I created:

This week's techniques: Vellum Stamping and Textured Embellishments

I love the subtle look of white ink on vellum. In today's tutorial I use white stamping ink to stamp doilies on vellum. This creates a barely-there background paper for my layout. I also incorporated canvas butterflies, chipboard numbers, and a wooden tag. Bringing texture into your layout gives it depth. (I find myself wanting to touch everything layered on my completed layouts when I thoughtfully incorporate textures).

Here are the close-up photos of this layout:

You can watch the helpful, start-to-finish video tutorial HERE on my Youtube channel or below to learn how I incorporated these techniques into my layout:
