Hi friends! Inessa Persekian here and today I'm sharing a layout featuring a special photo and some of my favorite embellishing techniques, made with Paige's Crafted Moments collection.
For this layout, I started with a 12x12 piece of white textured cardstock. To create the foundation of the design, I adhered a 7x12" piece of theInner Glow Paper and added a zigzag machine-stitched line down the center using metallic gold thread. Machine stitching is one of my favorite ways to add texture and detail to a layout without overwhelming the design. For my photo, I used a 4x4" image and matted it with the Beauty Ahead Paper. Behind the photo, I layered pieces of the Stay Curious Paper, tearing one edge to add a little softness and texture. The photo cluster is positioned about 3 inches from the left side of the page and 3 inches from the bottom, creating a balanced focal point while leaving plenty of room for embellishing. The embellishments were the star of this layout! I really wanted to incorporate several pieces from the Ephemera Die Cuts, including the pretty buildings and the hot air balloon. From there, I added additional bits and pieces around the photo, popping many of them up with foam adhesive to create layers and dimension. This helps draw the eye around the page and gives the layout a fun, interactive feel. To finish everything off, I added my title with the Mini Puffy Alpha Stickers, scattered Metallic Enamel Dots, and placed a few Floral Die Cuts to complete the design.
The photo itself holds a special memory. This is the famous Up House in Utah, which I had the opportunity to visit while attending an event in the area. Seeing it in person was such a fun experience- it truly feels like the magic of the movie has come to life. The bright colors and whimsical details make it every bit as charming in real life as it appears on screen, and I knew it would be the perfect story to document on a scrapbook page.
I hope this layout gives you some inspiration to try machine stitching, layered papers, and dimensional embellishments on your next project. Thanks so much for stopping by and I'll see you next time!
