Hunting Layout | 11/24

Today I'm sharing another hunting layout. This one was inspired by a different piece of pattern paper, but I made this one from papers I've been using for these layouts. I love how it turned out.

The photo was simple and I wanted the background to be the star. I love how it turned out. I love the labels at the corners. I used this digital set from Kellie Stamps and just coloured them in shades of brown, green, and grey.

I used my sewing machine to stitch the edges of each paper layer down. It took some time, but I love the texture it adds. I love the texture combinations of the different papers. Some are smooth, but the patterns add the appearance of different texture.

Thanks for coming by to see this spread. I hope you have a wonderful weekend.

Hunting Layout | 3/24

One of my personal goals this year was to make 2 hunting layouts per month. So around 24 layouts this year. I didn't get any photos of the first layout, but you can see layout number 2 HERE. Today I'm sharing the third layout I've made this year.

I love when you sit down to create and the idea just comes together so well in your head, and translates easily onto the paper.

I love how simple this spread is. I love the corrugated strips. They just add a bit more texture to a pretty simple page. I also love that I had the digital copy of this photo and could put the appropriate day onto this spread.

After the second layout I cut out the leaves from the other page of paper I had with those leaves on it, then I found some printable leaves and printed them onto a woodgrain paper, and then used my silhouette to cut them out. Then I found a set of printable leaves I used on previous layouts and used my silhouette and some sketchpens to draw them and then cut an offset around the outline. I clustered the leaves along the top of the photos and love how they look.

This layout looks amazing in the frame, so if any of you reading this are local, you can pop into the Greenhead Motel & Mallard Restaurant and see this spread and all the other spreads I've made, hanging on the walls in the restaurant.

Have yourself a wonderful day!

Hunting Layout | 2/24

Today I'm sharing one of many hunting spreads I want to make this year. I really wish I could design products, and then I wouldn't have such a hard time finding supplies to use for these spreads. My go to is any paper with a woodgrain pattern.

For this spread I cut a frame from some black paper and adhered it to a simple woodgrain background, added photos, and some leaves and a date stamp.

I cut these leaves from a piece of paper from the Basic Grey Barista line. I picked up a couple sheets and spent the afternoon cutting out the leaves. They work as a better embellishment than background paper.

Thanks for coming by to see this spread. I know hunting offends some people, but we hunt for meat and use as much of the animal as we can/have use for. The photos used in this spread were taken by one of the hunters' wives.

Have a great weekend!
