Its football season!!! And what better way to celebrate than to scrap preseason and opening day photos of me and Miguel and our dog, Zoe. Yes, I am that dog mom who puts her dog into football jerseys. Miguel is the extreme football fan and I am his little pupil. I am once again using the Dear Lizzy Documentary collection. I have been able to do plenty family and friend layouts in addition to two sports themed pages. Thats when you know the collection is great, to use it so diversely. I started out this layout with the Happy Happy patterned paper and used clear gesso.
I pulled in the Miami Dolphin colors by adding pumpkin orange and aqua acrylic paint from Apple Barrel. I used my Dina Wakley Mixed media brushes to apply the paint and wanted to see the brush strokes. And I continues to add splatters with my inexpensive watercolor set from Michael's.
I have never scrapped a layout with four photos before. This layout worked because I used one 4x6, one 3x4 and 2 3x2 photos in a grid like arrangement. I matted the dog photos on matching 6x6 patterned papers from the collection and tight matted the others with black card stock I proceeded to then matte them with torn edged copy paper. I did multiple layers for this part. After I adhere the photos down, I added more watercolor splatters for the edge. I did have to protect my photos when doing this part, because splatter technique is random and can get all over your photos.
I kept the embellishments to a minimum due to the amount of photos I used. I simply added the phrase thicker from the collection in "our fav" with a black heart.
I have linked my process video for your viewing pleasure. Thank you so much for stopping by.
The new Dear Lizzy collection is very diverse in my eyes. Here I am taking her whimsical feminine collection and using the bold black and white pattern paper to use for a sports page. Part of my trip to NY included a NY Giants vs. NY Jets football preseason game. It was made more special and an event worth scrapping because of tennis loving mother wanted to go with us. My mom does not understand football at all. But she simply wanted to be with me and my sister full time, so she put on a Giants T shirt and came with. Bless her little heart she made it through three of the four quarters before we left. I started with using the Love This patterned paper and wanted to use the true team colors of royal blue, red and gray.
I used black card stock in used the rule of thirds for the stripes. I mixed modeling paste and cobalt blue acrylic paint along with the new Dina Wakley Arrows stencil. I mixed a second batch of modeling paste and bright red acrylic paint to add the additional color. My stenciling managed to get all smeared this time. Thats the creative process this time around.
I added the splatters with my inexpensive watercolor set from Michael's in red and blue to the layout after it was dried. The die cuts are from the Dear Lizzy Documentary collection along with the phrase sticker in "my crew". I used my cuttle bug and the Little B Monogram dies to cut our "me" for my title.
The large wood veneers are from the Heidi Swapp Memory Planner collection. These were in my stash and I painted them gold for this layout. I added glitter punched stars to the layout and scraps of gold foiled acetate left over from the Journeys collection by Crate Paper. A fun sporty layout with the Dear Lizzy Collection. I have linked my process video for your enjoyment below.
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.
