This month the theme is Words or letters as a central feature. (Check out the challenge in the Forum at www.trimcraft.co.uk)
I made cards with words on to start the challenge off, but wanted to do something with a single letter.
Originally I had thought of L for my daughter's name but once I had started to collect the photos together, a better sentiment and letter came to me.
The letter is printed directly onto cardstock from the First Edition "Rose Garden" stack. Just cut a piece of the 12x12" the width of A4 and pop it in your printer. It's 200gsm and a great weight.
(I test on printer paper first of course!)
The font I have used for the letter is from Scrap n Fonts and is called CK Fairytale Transparent. It cost me $1 to download. I enlarged it in a text box in PowerPoint and then added another text box with 'Your are Beautiful' to float on top.
The hearts, rose plate and swirls are all cut out from designs in the Rose Garden Pad.
I then wrote my journalling around the outside. Cut copy paper to size and write it out first so you know it fits and then write it on the real sheet with your copy sheet below it for guidance. That way you won't run out of room as you go round the page :-)
My words say:
"As you grow up your are more aware of how the camera captures you. You have your 'photo smile'. But I love all your smiles and think ....... You are Beautiful."
With age comes self consciousness, and a critiquing of every photo we see of ourselves!
So scrapbookers - capture every photo of your young when you can!
The page will be out on the demo circuit with me - details on Trimcraft website.
