Licking the Spoon



I loved these photos from when we made cupcakes last week and wanted to record them on a layout. So, over the weekend I continued playing around with what I had and finally finished on Sunday night.

I knew there were a few photos I wanted to use so I designed a photo collage template in Photoshop Elements 9 with a 4x6 photo as the main photo and three little 2x2 photos to the side. However, when I printed it out I felt it neded something to divide the photos. I played around on my Silhouette Cameo (which I was lucky enough to get for Christmas) and managed to come up with this frame to go over the photos which, I think, finishes them off.  The title was also cut on the Silhouette using one of the fonts I have on my computer and the tab, little heart and spoon were shapes downloaded from the Silhouette shop (though I did add the inner oval on the spoon). 

This page is a little out of my comfort zone because I usually keep things very simple with plain cardstock, maybe a little patterned paper and a title. So adding ribbon and embellishments (if you can call them that) is different for me.  It's got the photos scrapped though and that was what I wanted :)

  1. A great layout Rhona, she really looks as though she is enjoying herslef!

    I was wondering if you had made the photo border in PSE, it's interesting to hear you cut it out.
