Welcome to the American Crafts National Scrapbook Day 2014 Blog Hop! I hope you'll be inspired to craft as you make your way through the 16 blogs of the design team members and participate in each of the challenges!
MY CHALLENGE: Use triangles on your project - easy peasy!
How I made this layout: I cut the pattern paper to 8 1/2 x 11, then I punched out 28 triangles from 7 different pattern papers. With gesso I painted where I wanted my picture to go--an added layer of detail if you will. I added dimensional dots on the back of my picture, punched out a tab. I measured my page at 4 1/4" and started adhering my triangles letting the tip touch the edge of the page. I kept adding triangles to the the left and right of my original triangle--this creates a look of additional triangles between the patterned punched triangles. I then sewed the triangles down with a straight stitch. After my gesso dried and triangles adhered I added my picture, title and embellishments.
Supply list: patterned paper, thickers, bits, gesso mini staples, puffy stickers, sequins, sewing machine. (Everything EXCEPT the sequins come from the Plus One line, the sequins come from the DIY shop line).
