Poppy Petals

This is a great layout to use up those small squares of DSP. Rounding two opposite corners turned these squares into petals. Once they were placed with a point toward the center, they resembled a flower. What do you think? 

Stamps:

   Peaceful Moments

Paper:

   Basic White A-2, 5-1/4 x 4 (Inside), 1-3/4" Sq. (4), 3-1/2 x 1 (Sentiment)

   Basic Black 5-3/8 x 4-1/8, 1-5/8" Sq. (4)

   Peaceful Poppies DSP 3" Sq. cut at 1-1/2" to get 4 squares 

Ink:

   Poppy Parade

Technique:

   Punching

Accessories:

   Project Life Corner Rounder Punch

   Peaceful Poppies Sequins

   Glue Dots

   Adhesive

First, I gathered all of my paper, and cut it into squares with two opposite sides rounded off, using a corner rounder punch. 

*Note if you are cutting floral paper or any DSP that has a right-side up, make sure you are cutting the correct corner.

I then assembled the petals onto the Basic Black matte without adhering any of them. 

Next, I stamped and rounded off two opposite corners on the Basic White sentiment. I laid it in place as well.

Once everything looked fine, I adhered each petal: Basic White on the bottom, followed by a Basic Black, and the DSP on the top. 

I then adhered the petals and the sentiment on the Basic Black matte, and then onto the Basic White card front.

Lastly, I added a couple of sequins, using glue dots, and adhered a Basic White panel to the inside of the card.

Project Life: Beginnings

How far back is your family history documented with pictures? 

My brother is the genealogist in our family. We are very fortunate to share in his findings. 

I started using Project Life and found that it really makes scrapbooking easy. I am no longer overwhelmed with a blank 12 x 12 canvas, unless I choose it.

Project Life is more of a photo album system. There are different size pockets and designs on the page for you to fill. I used scraps of designer series paper to mat pictures and cards on this page. 

Another advantage of using Project Life is that you can change out any of the pockets at any time. You are no longer restricted to keeping a 12 x 12 layout for eternity. What do you think?

This particular page has 3 sections. The 2 outer sections are 4 x 6 vertical slots. The center section consists of 3 x 4 horizontal slots. Each one of these slots can be moved to another page or rearranged on this page. 

You are not restricted to Project Life products. You can choose to use anything you want.
