Hello Friends! It's Meridy here with you today, and I have a layout I would like to share that I created with the "Study Guide" Daily Diary kit and paper add on. As soon as I saw this kit, I KNEW that it would work with the Back to School 2017 photos I had taken this year. The colors were amazing together. In this particular layout, you cannot see the whole "set" of the photo shoot, but I plan on using more of the photos throughout the month.
I wanted this photo to be the star of the layout, so I decided to make a single photo layout. I started with this great star patterned paper and built up a couple of layers of cardstock to mat my photo. Next I added one of the tags from the kit and used that for a journaling block. These multicolored Thickers are just the best part of this kit in my opinion, so of course I had to used them for my title.
I still felt like my layout needed a little something else, so I decided to do some machine stitching. First I stitched across each row of stars with a red zig zag stitch. Then, I stitched around each photo mat with a very dark aqua green thread. Then I felt like the layout was complete.
All in all, this was a fairly simple layout to execute. Since the background paper was so busy, it really didn't call for too many more embellishments. I love the way it turned out. Thank you for stopping by today! The rest of the design team will be back each day this week with more inspiration to share.
