There is a lot of new scrapbooking ideas at Get It Scrapped this week. I recently had a layout posted with an article about including ransom titles on your layouts. Here is what I created:
2 Wild and Crazy Girls by Michelle Houghton | Supplies: cardstock; Bazzill Basics, patterned paper; Echo Park and My Mind’s Eye, buttons; Button’s Galore, ink; Sharpie, letters; Pink Paisley, American Crafts, Heidi Swapp, Creative Imaginations, Basic Grey and Sandylion Essentials
The layout itself is based on a sketch in Debbie Hodge’s Scrapbook Coach class Criss Cross. I had a great time finding all my old random and pulling them together for my long title. Because of the “wild and crazy” title the embellishing became very minimal with just a few buttons and doodles with a Sharpie paint pen. Every time I put buttons on my page now I am compelled to put thread through the holes. Emily Pitts says she thinks they look like little eyes staring at her when they are not filled and now I can’t get that image out of my head ha ha. I shared a tip in the article as well, when I did this title I actually put all my letters lightly on a sheet of clear plastic first so I could see how they would all fit together without committing to the series. When I found the combination I liked I transferred them all to my layout.

Have a great Tuesday! I will be back tomorrow with more September Photo a day pics!
