October Challenge by Amy

Design Team Member Amy submitted this layout for the October THAT Project Challenge. She said, "My THAT project is using a photo as a background. I've always wanted to do one and finally got the push i needed to do the page! I used scrapbookpictures.com to print my photo, 12x12. This photo is of my son and father playing match box cars.

Supplies: Photo: scrapbookpictures.com; Paint: Making Memories; Letters: American crafts (green and orange), October Afternoon (black); Rub-Ons: Cosmo Cricket; Ribbon: Cosmo Cricket and other; Pin: Fancy Pants; Tag: Tim Holtz; Pen: Sakura; Cardstock: Recollections.

I wanted to document how my son always says "Papa! Sit down! Play cars!". I was able to make that my title in my negative space at the bottom. Next, i added hidden journaling, so i wouldn't distract from the layout.

Now it's your turn to take the challenge. See all the details in October Challenge below. And don't miss our Pagerize This Challenge #3 - see the details below.

  4. ooo - what an amazing idea. i love how the picture is the bg and that your title really pops against the black and white. and how you snuck in the journaling as a slide tab. genius!

  8. @Karen, I definitely will! I love this and it wasn't too expensive. A little more than $3 (with shipping) for the 12x12 photo. Not bad in my opinion.

  9. I have never seen this done before and love it! I have a large-scale printer and I might need to give it a try to do something like this. I really like the black/white photo with the colored embellishing.
