Hi! Welcome to my blog. I’m Sara Levin theartfulinker. And, today is the Scrapbooking Global March 2020 Blog Hop. The design team and friends have lots of layout inspiration for you using Stampin’ Up! products.

Scrapbooking Global March 2020 Blog Hop

For today’s layout,
our challenge was to create a page for a Black and White photo.

A photographer friend of mine shared a great black and white photo of his kids yesterday morning.
As soon as I saw the photo, I knew that I wanted to create a page with it.
To set the scene — the kids are at the beach looking out to the horizon.
It’s a beautiful, clean photo!
Sorry that I can’t share it with you, here.

The color palette is tight,
using Gray Granite, Seaside Spray and Basic Gray.
Using images from Sailing Home,
I’ve added sailboats and a lighthouse in the upper left.

At the lower right of the photo mat,
I’ve created a texture collage using images from
Sailing Home and Sea of Textures.
The anchor has an accent of Night of Navy/Sahara Sand Baker’s Twine.

Below the photo mat,
I’ve created a border using the Stamparatus with the square knot stamp.
Then, the page is finished with a label created with a combination of
Smooth Sailing and Stitched Shapes Dies.
My friend loved the page with his kids photo!
Thanks for stopping in today!

Thanks, Libby!
Beautiful layout. Love the little clusters of embellishments.
Thanks, Sherry! This layout was definitely about just adding little things.
I do LOVE how you have created this layout with a small palette of colours… STUNNING layout <3
Cheers Shaz
Thanks, Sharon! I let the feel of the photo dictate the colors.
Sara, I love your page! You have used the nautical stamps perfectly and in a way I really haven’t done on a scrapbook page before – so clean and elegant and enough to make that photo (I can see it in my head) shine! Such a lovely idea to create for someone else too!
Thanks, Sharni! I’m hoping my friend will let me create more pages for his family.
C’est une très jolie mise en page ! Simple et efficace.
Thank you, Virginie. Simple details were the perfect choice for highlighting the photo that goes on my layout.
I love these stamp sets on your page, and I love the amazing colour choices – so clean and crisp and perfect with these stamped images. Love love love.
Thank you, Julia! Clean and crisp was perfect for my friend’s photo.
