Keep calm and get texty!

Yet another layout for the January 2014 album... recording our family activities for the end of summer.  I'm so thrilled with the way this one came together:



First, I created my own background using texture paste, tinted with acrylic paint.  I'm sharing the technique for Team Training over at the Pixels and Paper challenge blog today.

Next I layered it up with some paper scraps and a bit of pen work, added the photographs, and then made my own title card.  I played around in Photoshop Elements with a lot of fonts, sizes and positioning until I got it just how I wanted.

I'm joining in at these challenges:
* Scrap Challenge Yourself ~ Keep calm and...
* Mixed Media Monthly Challenge ~ Get Texty


* Scrapki Wyzwaniowo ~ Typesetting


Materials:
Making Memories Scrapbook Colors - Ocean Blue acrylic paint
My Memories Chevrons - Teal patterned paper
Dear Lizzy Spring - Glitter Accents - Beehive Brunch patterned paper
Bazzill Basics - Tropical cardstock
Carl Daisy - Small punch
Digital credits:
