Hello and welcome to the July stamp of the month blog hop! If you have arrived here from
Sheila's blog, or if you are just starting out, you are in the right place. If you get lost anywhere along the way, I have a list of all the hoppers
right here. (Click now and it will stay open in its own window while you hop.)
This month we're featuring Circus Alphabet - it's full of fun, doodle-style uppercase letters and a full set of coordinating lowercase letters and numbers. I can see lots of uses for this set, but for today I used it to title a layout about a school music program.
I used a sketch from the Magic how-to book, changing the one 8x6 picture on the left page to two 4x6 pictures.
I decided to split the title into pieces and used all uppercase letters for "music" and the lowercase on the other 2 sections.
To make the letters stand out more against the patterned background, I first stamped with
Lagoon pigment ink. Once that was dry, I used a white gel pen to fill in the centers. Because the "C" has doodles in the center, I stamped it again on top of the gel ink once it was dry.
I had several pictures, so I added some Flip-Flaps to get all of the photos included. I will go back and add a strip of journaling to some pictures so I can list the names or make additional notes.
If you're ready to shop, I have a list below. All links will open in a new window, so you can easily continue our hop! When you're ready to move along, head on over to
Maria's Stamp Momma blog and check out what she made this month.
In addition to the items shown below, I used some leftover large adhesive sparkles from a wall decor kit and a White Signo Uniball gel pen. The green ribbon is from my stash.
Cute Layout. Love your paper choices.
ReplyDeleteSuch a sweet layout. Great use of flip flaps to add more pictures. The SOTM really works well here.
