Twinnies! by Tammy Klingner

  Hi everyone. Today I'm sharing a layout of me and my beautiful girl.   I recently ordered Kaisercraft's Finders Keepers Range. It is absolutely beautiful! Although I'm not a huge flowery person, I am a big WORD person, and I love that this range has lots of words and quotes - in a hand-drawn font. Perfection! Also the colours are amazing.  

   This coral and cream striped paper is stunning.  I love the hand painted stripes, and knew  as soon as I saw it I just had to use it for a background.   For those of you who know my work, you know I usually create a mixed media  background.    Today I decided to NOT do this - I wanted to create layers, just with paper. So I began.....layering it up.   I recently ordered some of the Cocoa Vanilla Doilies - these look great in the layers, as  they add texture and a different shape.    My other fave thing to use in my scrappy pages are die cut frames.  They create little  windows - they don't cover up too much of my background, but add a contrast.  

   So a few layers using the doilies, frames, Project Life cards, and torn leftovers.   I also added in quite a few die cuts from Kaisercraft. I ordered the Treasure Chest Kit.   It contains Project Life cards, die cuts and also these cool printed acetate cards.  Love Love Love!!    I then added some chipboard from 2Crafty. I decided to keep the chipboard 'a la natural', as the raw colour worked really well with the tones in the layout.  

  Of course I couldn't help but finish it with a few flicks of paint! I tried so hard to just use paper, but I guess it got me in the end.   This layout documents my girl and I. Everyone is always saying how alike we are - in looks, mannerisms, voice etc. And well, I can't see it.   All I know is that she is the most beautiful girl to walk the planet.   Anyway, when I saw this photo, I could see it! - the similarities I mean.  So I wanted to scrap the story.   I also created a Project Life spread, which was super easy with the Kasercraft Kit.
