For my January Take Twelve project I documented the day hour by hour. This time around I wanted to take a different approach. Since it was February I decided to document things that I love.
- Design Inspiration: I used this layout by Donna Jannuzzi as the base for my design. I loved the paper strips above and below the two 4×6 photos.
- Color Inspiration: Since it’s a layout about things I love, I decided to use colors I love. I’m an orange and turquoise kind of gal. Bet you can’t tell by my blog colors…
I’m loving these little 4×6 templates lately! Makes it so easy to include lots of photos on a page. For this layout I used a template with 6 slots for photos. All I did was flip the template for the second 4×6 photo. LOVE how it turned out!
I thought it would be fun to highlight the number 12 on the number pattern paper.
One of the things I love is Amy Tangerine washi tape. How could I make a layout about things I love without using some? I decided to use it as strips of pattern paper. To add to the Amy Tangerine fun I layered several of her elements along with a ticket and a date stamp as sort of a title cluster.
At the bottom I added another little embellishment cluster. It just makes me so happy! And now for a list of things I love…
I am loving Ella Publishing Co.’s Take Twelve photography and scrapbooking challenge! Have you taken 12? It’s not to late to join in! Any month, any time!

Just perfect and quite fitting for February! Fun embellishments!
Awww, thanks Danielle! I had a lot of fun making it!
The colors look great, and that is a great idea about the 4×6 photos!
Thanks Aliza! I’m addicted to those 4×6 collages! So much fun to work with!
I have never known what to do with tape, but I love how you incorporated it and the number paper you used.
Oh Katie! You can do so much with washi tape! Use it as a pattern paper strip…layer it across cardstock and then punch it in a design (http://scrapinspired.com/2012/02/olw-blog-hop-january/)…put several strips across a picture and then add a strip of cardstock for a custom journaling block (http://scrapinspired.com/2012/01/project-life-week-4/)…use it to attach a photo to your layout… The possibilities are endless!
Can you tell I love washi tape?
