Hello crafty friends! I have a colorful summer themed layout today for The Ink Road DT. I am playing with the Simple Stories Summer Vibes collection available on the website for purchase. I am scrapping a few photos taken during a sunset in Sarasota during my sisters visit from NY. My sister, my mom and me are in one and my sister's fiancé and my fiancé are in the other picture.
I was thinking of a way to showcase all the pretty patterned papers featured in this collection and this basket weave came to mind. I did this technique once a long time ago and wanted to recreate it with this collection. Having the weaving element go in a diagonal was a way to change it up. So I started by cutting up multiple stripes of paper in different width from many papers in the collection. I then began to arrange them in a weaving pattern.
I began by adhering the centers of the horizontal row leaving the ends loose. It made the process of interlocking the rest at each end easier. When I was happy with the weave I applied Scotch quick dry glue with a Finalizer to secure its position.
Most Simple Stories Collection kits come with two 12x12 stickers sheets, one with an array of stickers and the other with alphas. I used a combination for my title and little added extras around the photos. Since the interlocking papers were the main element for this layout, I did not want to add too many embellishments. I added a little bit of journalling to finish off the layout. If you would like to make a purchase at TheInkRoad.com, use "Evi10" at checkout for a discount. I have provided my process video below for your viewing pleasure.
Welcome to my corner of the internet. I am a new mom, a dog mom, a coffee addict, a scrapbooker, a sweets addict and an art journaler. I love memory keeping and sharing it with you.
