A Layout To Share Of My Son

Usually I scrapbook what is on my mind that day if I don't have design team assignments.  My oldest son and his wife are on my mind a lot so I thought I would scrapbook a layout using a wainscotting technique I saw in the fall issue of Canadian Scrapbooker Magazine. The article I am referring to is  "Tool Junkie" by Christy Riopel.  Christy used the Stampin Up Simply Scored scoring tool but I have a Scor-Pal so I improvised.

Gray Cardstock

Weathered Wood Distress Ink - Tim Holtz

Scor-Pal Score Board

 The gray cardstock background was scored every half inch on my Scor-Pal scoring board.

Score At Every 1/2 Inch Mark

Turn Cardstock Over

Turn the page over and notice that the scoring lines are raised on the backside so I chose to ink the back.

I then used Tim Holtz Distressed Ink in Weathered Wood and applied the ink pad directly to the paper in a downward motion being sure to cover the entire page.

Finally, I ran the Tim Holtz Distress Stain in Picket Fence over the entire scored and inked page for a more distressed, softer look.

Next, I cut the title "Son" from my Silhouette Cameo, applied Glossy Accents to the letters and then fussy cut the lighthouse and distressed all the papers.  A piece of jute was added to give more texture as well as the buttons.

I used Webster's Pages Yacht Club Collection for the papers.  The sketch that inspired me was by Pagedrafts Sketch #13.

It was a lot of fun to do and I like the way it turned out.

Have a good Saturday!
