What I Was Thinking Scrapbook Layout

I think its about time I start sharing more of the pictures and some instructions on how I made several of the projects I gave to my partner in a recent swap I participated in….

I really want to share this layout that I think came out beautifully for the phrase “What Was I Thinking” – I turned it into a “What I Was Thinking” for my partner to be able to scrapbook and journal about her wedding day :)

Doing a simple layout like this is perfect for Wedding Albums and the classic black, white and silver go alone with most any wedding scheme.  :)

Here is the full two page layout.  I used Black Metallic Paper from Walmart for the Words What I Was Thinking – I used the Songbird Cricut Cartridge and welded the words together using my Gypsy

The paper is already decorated beautifully but I LOVE to add my own touches…. I used Hematite Glitter Liners from Viva Decor to accent my pages – adding pops of glitter and dimension right to the paper….

I matted this page with silvery metallic paper with two 4.5 x 6.5 photos, and added dots of the glitter liner right to each of the four corners of the mattings.

The same for the second page – I added more of the Glitter Liner in Hematite, but I also used the Silver Pearl Pen from Viva Decor.  I also used my Copic Markers to color several paper flowers that were white – I made them more silver.  I used glue dots to attached the flowers to my page and added that Viva Decor Silver Pearl Pen in the centers for that BEAUTIFUL Pearlized gem in the center!

Also on this “thinking” side of the layout – I placed a large block for journaling.  I matted a sheet of white paper in coordinating paper and drew lines using a ruler to create a perfect journally space to talk about thoughts! :)

Here is a closer look at the flowers and the pearl pens

Simple yet BEAUTIFUL!

Hope you enjoyed this layout and got some ideas! :)

    It’s a stunning layout. What I was thinking is a much better title for a wedding day LO than what was I thinking lol. The paper is gorgeous and the embellishments add just the right touch. TFS! Love the songbird font, it really does weld so nicely.

    I like this layout. Black, white and silver does look classy and elegant. Especially with the bride in white and the groom in black :-)
