Hi guys, it's Shannan here, and it's my turn in the "Kid at Heart" Project Parade. I thought long and hard about what to do with this theme, and finally I decided to play a little outside my sandbox and make a scrapbook page. After digging through some photos, this one of my oldest son Caleb just jumped out at me!
Keeping my layout clean and simple, I cut a white square to 5 1/2" square and stamped the row of hearts from the
Hundred Hearts set in Memento Tuxedo Black ink. The center hearts are colored with a my R29 Copic Marker. I then stamped the sentiment from the same set in Tuxedo Black ink in the top right corner. I wanted a little vertical interest on the left side, so I cut three strips of ribbon to 5 1/2" and adhered them to the page. I couldn't totally embrace the white space, so I took a circle stitching template and pierced a half circle (or maybe it's a 1/4 circle?) from the ribbon to the row of hearts. After cutting the photo and a mat with Nestabilities Label 1 dies, I mounted them both on foam dimensionals and placed them in the left corner. The final step was a 6" square black panel as my mat. This was actually very quick and quite painless...I may have to try it again! *wink*
