I really want to figure out how I can better embellish my PL spreads. I see so many fantastic pages out there where the colors are coordinated, everything looks very streamlined and matches well, and then I look at mine. Don't get me wrong, I'm happy with what I create, but if practice makes perfect, it's going to be a while since I only do this monthly.
I'm still digging the variety of page designs and this month used a half sheet for two events, one on each side and then a 3/4 page design for the rest of the month. I haven't done a calendar page for the past 2 months, instead opting to experiment with highlighting the dates.
I used several cards from the Amy Tangerine Cut & Paste mini kit, did hand and machine stitching on some of the cards, and got to use my football printables finally!
Hi there! I think embellishing is hard too. When I started using wood veneers and washi tape it became alot easier =) I also like to use enamel dots (I make mine with Paper Pen) and small labels and I think all of those would fit PL too. Keep up the good work and it will all become natural after a while! Have a nice weekend! // Åsa
ReplyDeleteThese look great!
ReplyDeleteYou pages look great! I love love your phone wallpaper! I've been ordering some Becky Higgins smaller sets like Dear Lizzy and Flea Market, then I buy the embellies or ephemera pack in the line and it's working great for me. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteI love your use of different page protectors too! Awesome spreads, and very colorful too.
ReplyDeleteI think that is a fab idea highlightening a day, and as for embellishing pages it's time consuming or at least that's what I have discovered and you have to apparently own a million little pieces but like you I am trying to get mine better I think it's just like when you first learned to scrap once you get comfortable with what you are doing then you get better at doing it.
ReplyDeleteGreat PL pages :)
ReplyDeleteI think your pages look great! It's easiest for me to embellish when I have embellishments very accessible. I have a little basket where I keep my newest items. I arrange all my pics and journaling cards, then go back and add embellishments at the end.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the kind words and helpful tips ladies, much appreciated!
ReplyDeleteGreat pages.
ReplyDeleteI like that you used 1/2 pages to document special events :)
