First you'll want to adhere your doily about 1" from the left edge and 1/2" from the top. I inked the edges of mine. Then adhere the small strip of pattern paper- mine is 4"x8". |
Now add your photos. |
Next, add your title. Mine says "Sexton favorites." I used 2 different size letter stickers and placed them slightly overlapping the photos. |
Place the photo corner at the top right corner of the small piece of pattern paper. Then print and adhere your journaling directly below the photo. Stop here if you want to keep your layout simple. |

When I was a preschool teacher, once upon a time, I once had my kids make mothers' day cards using doilies and a really cool art technique.
All you need are scraps of tissue paper, any color, and water. Scraps can be big or small, but small works better-- just make sure it's not TOO small for you to grab! Spray the doily liberally with water (just make sure not to make it so wet that it pools!), and put the tissue paper scraps on the doily. When the water dries, the tissue paper bits will fall right off, and leave behind lots of color. If you overlap tissue bits, the colors will blend.
This can look REALLY cool, and in addition to looking great on a greeting card would also be awesome for a simple scrapbook layout-- say, with a white background and black lettering!
Such a fun layout you made today-- thanks for sharing! <3

Wow - what a fab scrapbooker you are! Love the addition of the doilies. And that boy/girl bathroom paper is too cute!
So glad you joined our Cinch party!

What an amazing project! I think you have found a new use for doilies! Perfect backdrop for the picture.

These pages look amazing. I really love that background sheet ... looks a bit like old rulers and yardstick stripes.
Thanks so much for linking up to our Cinch party!
