Tell Your People You Love Them

Hello my crafty friends!  It’s Tai and I have a cheerful photo with bold title layout to share with you.  Earlier this month LBM released a few new stamp sets including this bold ‘Tiimmy’ alpha.  The gorgeous blue floral patterned paper is from the recent Summer/Fall season pass collection.   My family and I recently had a photo shoot and I had new photos to print.  

My favorite size to work in, lately, is 6x8.  I printed my favorite photo of us to fit outside the page protector at 7x8.25.  I then cut my patterned paper to be the same size as well. To ensure my stamping was seen against the busy paper, I stamped on a piece of vellum.  To stamp on vellum, you need to remember to use Staz-On ink.  It works on slick surfaces and photo paper.  

My bold title says, ‘Tell your people you love them!’ in black ink.  And stamping on vellum gave it an ability to stand out against the blue flowers.  Of course, you can embellish this title page more, but I decided to leave it as is.  

For my photo, I stamped a sentiment stating ‘This put a smile on my face’ from the ‘Glimmers 2’ stamp set.  This was also stamped on vellum and then onto the blue floral paper to have it coordinate with the opposite side of the project.  I usually have a 6x8 family story album always in the works and this project will go into that album.  Once again, you can embellish further if you’d like but I stayed on the side of less is more with this project.
