Street Maps

 Michelle McClung

I’ve never fared well in the cold, so even though the winters are pretty mild where I live, I mostly stay inside.  Anything under eighty degrees, and I need a sweater!  Once it starts warming up outside, I usually spend my time gardening, riding horses, taking long walks, or reading a book on a lounge chair while watching my kids play.

How will you enjoy the nice weather that is approaching? Whatever way it may be, don’t forget your camera so you can scrap all about it when you come home! 

 

Design Note:  What a great sketch to use to showcase that one large photo! I definitely needed a sketch like this to capture McKenna's birthday moment as large as it was in life! However, since my printer only prints a little smaller than eleven inches on my 8.5" x 11" photo paper, I used the measurement of the width of the picture to create a square, and then framed it with the traditional twelve-inch paper. This sketch and that technique also enabled me to use lots of patterned paper on the page - making it as bright as the moment!

Guess Who's 2 by Lindsey Krauss. Supplies:  Paper, Brackets: October Road, Letters: Colorbok, Chipboard: BasicGrey,  Markers: Sharpie,  Sketch: Holi Sketch by Michelle McClung.

 

 

 

Design note:

I had multiple photos placed on the layout. It looked terribly boring, but once I added chipboard frames, it looked brilliant. I decided to leave the chipboard bare naked because it fit the layout so well.

 

Cat’s Meow by Nicole Martel.  Supplies:  Paper: IOD, Cardstock: Bazzill,  Prima,  Ribbon: May Arts,  Chipboard: Maya Road.

 

 

 

Design Note:  Instead of one large photo spanning the page, I wanted to use a series of photos.  My son loved his dollar spot bunny ears and had a blast taking pictures with them on.  The pictures came out cute and I couldn’t pick just one to use.  I used the center embellishment circle as part of the title and went simple with photo corners to the right and left of the title to draw attention to it.

 

 

Smile, Some Bunny Loves You by Michelle McClung.  Supplies:  Paper: BasicGrey, Cardstock: Bazzill, Letters, Photo Corners: American Crafts,  Rub-ons:  Karen Foster.
