Studio J BOOT CAMP Challenge #5

Sugar and Spice

Kit: Sophia
Pattern: Studio J: Performance
Photos: 3 vertical
Kit mix 3

Techniques:

Layering My Stickease to create a single image
Journaling on photos
Creating unique titles by using multiple text boxes to mix fonts and sizes

SIDE NOTE: As you personalize your layout and make it your own, keep in mind that one of the main techniques is learning to cluster the 'My Stickease' If you change the paper colors too much, the My Stickease images won't work because they don't change color. I recommend that you keep the Pear and Goldrush colors somewhere in your layout. The Honey and Chocolate papers are changeable. As you can see on mine, I chose to change the papers and ribbon to Lilac mist and hollyhock to match my photos, and it still worked.

Putting the layout together:
Drop photos in wells.
Drop floral dot B&T into top horizontal strip. Change color to blush (my choice) (to change papers, click on papers and drag in desired paper)
Drop cardstock into left most vertical strip (left page). Change the color to (lilac mist).
Change B&T to (lilac mist) (my choice of color for my layout)
Change color of bracket-shaped cardstock piece to White Daisy
Change bottom of cardstock strip to (lilac mist)
Add 1/8" white daisy mats to each photo.
Delete title and journaling wells.
Finishing Touches:

**You will note from the color of the original packet of paper, I have changed my layout dramatically) You can leave yours the colors of the kit, or change them to match your photos.
