For a fun title, add a chipboard letter to emphasize a letter. In this layout, the letter is inked around the edges and then coordinating ribbon was tied around it. So cute!

Need a Title?

Don't you hate it when you have a great layout, and great pictures, and you cannot for the life of you come up with a great title???? I have this problem A LOT! I came across some great websites today that might assist us in fun, creative titles....

AZ Scrapbook Store Open House

I thought I would let everyone in the Tucson area know that the AZ Scrapbook Store in Green Valley is having an Open House to celebrate their new management. It's this Friday, February 20th, from 4:30-7:30. It's a stop in anytime and stay for a short or long period. There will be make n takes, prizes, meet the designers, etc. Should be fun! Come down if you have time!

Brrr...

I love this layout. It is simple and super easy. After I put this together, I realized there was a lot more I could have done, so I will add those suggestions below.

I used regular punched dots from the same red used on the title, one can use brads, eyelets, or some other element to give a different dimension.

On the title, one can add dimension by adding 'pop up' adhesive and glitter. To add a glitter affect, use mod podge w/glitter mixed in and sponge on letters. Allow to dry before adding to layout. Good luck!

Remember...

This is my first layout I used for a scrapbooking exchange. I copied the basic format from another, and customized to fit my pictures.
