Layout Recipe # 42 ~ First Bath

This week’s layout was found while browsing through the gallery at the Sweet Shoppe, it’s by renee82 and is entitled First Bath! I love the soft colors and overall design of this layout. The stitching with the added buttons is a wonderful idea for a layout border, and the mix of 2 alphas looks great! This is a wonderful “firsts” layout, definitely one to cherish for years to come! Please feel free to click on the image and leave this talented scrapper some praise!

Ingredients List:

• Yesteryears: Shabby Baby Boy by Julie Billingsley
• Round alpha by Marcie Reckinger from Our Mojo Garden collab with Laura Burger
• Tied string and Heavy Duty staple by Kate Hadfield
• Date stamp and file tab by Amber Clegg
• Stitches by Two Sisters Designs
• Most drop shadows by Traci Murphy
• Font is CK journaling condensed

What was your inspiration for the layout’s theme or design?

The LO was inspired by various LO’s I’d seen and I kind of just pulled everything together to make it my own.

What special techniques/actions/effects did you use if any in creating the layout?

I didn’t use any special techniques, but I did use some drop shadow actions to add realism to my LO. I chose a simple design to highlight the photos to help record this first very important experience in my baby’s life.
