fresh & fun

This picture was taken on during our trip to Germany. I love that my boys still like to hang out with each other. I think it really shows in this photograph.

We were waiting on a train and both of them were sitting on a railing, looking like birds on a wire.

Another very simple layout.

The page base is a 6″ x 6″ piece of Kraft cardstock. The left hand side has a 3 3/4″ x 6″ piece of Outlaw Designer paper taped to it.

I sanded the edges a bit with my sanding block.

The photograph is cut down to 4″ x 5″ and layered with a 1/4″ bigger piece of Basic Black cardstock.

 The photo corner on the top left is punched out of Really Rust cardstock and sponged with Really Rust and Chocolate Chip to make it more rustic looking. I added five Antique Brass brads on top of it. I can’t help myself. I can’t leave those photo corners plain. They NEED brads.

I stamped bros with the Jumbo Outline Alpha on Outlaw Designer paper with Black Stazon and colored the letters in with Chocolate Chip Marker. The word was cut out and taped first on a 1 3/8″ black circle, then on a sponged Really Rust Scallop circle.

I added a ribbon holder with sponged Twill from the Antique Brass Hodgepodge Hardware on the left hand side.

Two stars were stamped in Chocolate Chip on Kraft cardstock, punched out with the small star punch and sponged with Really Rust and Chocolate chip. They were adhered next to the title and an Antique Brass Brad was placed in each star center. The star stamp is from the stamp set Wanted.
