The One with the Ali Edwards HERE WITH YOU Layout

Here's my newest Ali Edwards Digital Creative Team layout using the HERE WITH YOU digital stamps:

HERE WITH YOU by Paige Evans

Description: I combined two of the sweet phrases from the HERE WITH YOU digital brush set to create this layout:

Journaling says: This picture says it all - you are such a happy-go-lucky guy, always up for adventures and going inside churches & castles and seeing new things. You're pretty much awesome and we love you!

How to: This layout turned out so much different than I envisioned! I was going to use the positive words instead of backing the negative but I liked the negative better and from there it was just a fun creative time! I started by watercoloring circles onto a white cardstock background, blow dried it, and then cut the phrases from the cardstock using a Silhouette Cameo. After peeling away the positive words I backed the cardstock with patterned paper using foam dots for dimension. I created three clusters for a visual triangle using bits & pieces from the oldie-but-goodie Notes & Things collection by Crate Paper such as rub ons, tags, a chipboard frame, stickers, wood veneer, vellum, and more. There was some extra white space on the left edge so I layered a couple thin paper strips then added straight and zigzag stitching with black thread. I journaled with a black pen on the bottom left and made the location with mini alphabet stickers. Done!
