Play Hard


The page map this month was the inspiration behind this layout.



I wanted to use the orange paper for the title and photo mat in my layout but the color was clashing a bit with the DS in the picture. To solve the problem I used a bit of Fired Brick Distress ink to add a red tint to the orange paper. I love the results. The ink made the already bold title stand out and it also picked up the texture in this paper.



I had two large photos and wanted to use both of them so I matted the top photo leaving an extra inch or so on the top edge of the mat. I then folded this end of the mat under and attached it to the page to make a hinge. The top photo is lifted to reveal the journaling as well as another photo.
