You crack me up by Tammy Klingner

Hi everyone!   This week I'm back with a boyish page using Bella Boulevard's Alex Collection plus a few bits and pieces from Crate Paper's Cool Kid.  

I began by applying gesso to white bazzill. I then added some brush strokes in black. (I placed these where I knew my photo and layering would go).   I also added some essential flicks of paint!   Once dry I added a few bits and pieces of papers, cutting some and tearing some to create interest and texture.  

  I then added some co-ordinating embellishments, and a whole variety of word/alpha stickers. I cut the 'hey' from a 12x12 sheet of paper, and a few of the embellishments too.   As the layout was quote busy, I was concerned that the photo was getting lost.  To counteract this I added a 2Crafty frame to draw the eye into the photo.  

The final touches included my journaling,  and I trimmed the layout down a little and adhered it to a background sheet of paper.  This frames the entire layout.   That's it from me. I hope it's inspired you to get creative.   Luv Tam xx   Products used: White Bazzill Dylusions Paint - Black Marble Dylusions Paint - White Linen Bella Boulevard Alex Designer Clips Bella Boulevard Alex Stickers Bella Boulevard Alex Text Paper Bella Boulevard Alex Killin It Paper Bella Boulevard Alex Turn It Up Paper Bella Boulevard Alex Tabbies Bella Boulevard Oh My Stars McIntosh stars Crate Paper Cool Kid Ephemera Crate Paper Cool Kid Handsome Paper Crate Paper Cool Kid Resin Stars 2Crafty 6" Revolution Frames Cocoa Vanilla Made of Awesome Alpha Stickers  Fancy Pants Life is Beautiful Alpha Chipboard
