Mixed Media Scrapbook Layout: Our Love

Monday, September 28, 2015

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.
