Home Sweet Home Layout! by Janet Ball

Here is a great new layout created by one of our designers Janet Ball.
Supplies Needed:
Do It Yourself Fixer Upper Paper (1 Sheet)
Do It Yourself Tool Time Paper (1 Sheet)
Do It Yourself Home Sweet Home Paper (2 Sheets)
Do It Yourself Cardstock stickers
Do It Yourself Buttons
Chipboard/Grungeboard Keys and Keyhold Shapes
6 Brads
Gold Paint
Sanding Block
Ink
3/4" circle punch
Ribbon (6")

Putting it all together:
1. To start, paint the chipboard/grungeboard shapes with gold paint. Allow plenty of time to dry, then sand and ink for an aged effect.
2. Crop your photos to 3.25" x 6".
3. Trim the UPC stip off the Home Sweet Home paper.
4. Cut 1/2" strips from the remaining paper. Make sure to follow the stripes on the Fixxer Upper paper. Cut a point on the ends of the strips.
5. Punch 3- 3/4" circles from the Tool Time paper. Adhere to the 3 circle tags from the cardstock sticker sheet.
6. Adhere strips to Home Sweet Home with points pointing to the Home Sweet Home title. Trim down leaving 1/4" above the background paper.
7. Adhere photos, keyhole, circle tags and buttons. (Refer to photo for placement) Tie ribbon through keys and adhere with brads.

Great idea for documenting where you began your family home to where you are today!
