...started a layout and gotten mid-way through and realized it was just all wrong?
Yeah. So that's what happened to me recently when I started this layout.
I'm not a 'lay everything out and then adhere it' kind of gal. I usually just go with the flow and stick it if I like it and every so often that turns into disaster. Like this time. So this is where I got myself in a pickle.
Yeah, that stamping was the ultimate problem. I tried to trace it with a pen but it was useless. It just wasn't right.
So, I cut a new piece of paper and stuck it on over the top. I added a new title with some SC kraft stickers from the Classic Calico collection & used a few smaller stickers for 'public library'. I used this as an opportunity to create a pocket for a little library card that I had printed and wrote my journaling on that.
I think my favorite part is the book stamp that I heat embossed on the bottom of the page. A few embellishments and voila-a 'fixed' layout.
So, it just goes to show that sometimes disaster can be averted if you're a little creative!

Yeah, it has happened to me before, more than once. You did a awesome job fixing the issue. The layout looks clean and classic.
ReplyDeleteI do that all the time! It's part of the fun of the creative process, right?! Great job with it!! :)
ReplyDeleteThis was a great save! I have a layout in progress right now that is definitely headed down that same road.
ReplyDeleteTake a few minutes away from it. Sometimes that helps.
DeleteFabulous! Love what you did!
ReplyDeleteI am a go with the flow girl too. I have had to fix numerous layouts. It's really just changing directions right?
ReplyDeleteThe worst thing I seem to do is mess up a letter on my journaling. I do that ALL the time and it drives me crazy. Nice "save" on your layout--cute!
ReplyDeletewow i love it make me feel like going home.. when i go this summer ill be talking some awesome pictures as well...
ReplyDeleteI have several I put in a box to finish because I got stuck and I just was not liking the flow of the page. lol
ReplyDeleteSometimes April you just have to leave it alone for a while and then go back to it. I did that a lot with this layout!
DeleteLove the way this layout turned out! I always use repositionable adhesive because I have had to pull apart on more than one occasion. Great save! Love the pocket! -Amanda
