Here's a layout I've done a few weeks ago. The layout is based on this layout/sketch from the Studio Calico blog.
* Letters: K&Co (wordgrain), Making Memories (small, black)
*Chipboard buttons:Jenni Bowlin
*Font: VT Portable Remington
*Roller Stamp: Glitz Designs
I am the sort of person who finds almost impossible to throw stuff out. It is mostly a curse, but sometimes it pays off - after I stuck the photo, title and buttons I felt something was missing in the background, but what could I do without having to rip the whole layout apart? Then I found this roller stamp which came in a kit, perfect to add a little more interest in this mostly white layout.
Celine used image transfer in one of her classes, which used a image printed with a laser printer. Since my printers are both inkjet, I had to adapt the technique. I printed the image in photo paper, applied a medium gel and transferred the pic to Bazzil cardstock. As you can see, it didn't work that well, there's a few annoying missing bits on my son's face. Later, Carrie explained to me where I went wrong. In fact she has a tutorial in her blog, so next time I'll know how to do it properly, thanks Carrie.
By the way, do you know to find something in a site using google? That's what I typed in google:
The "site:" directive makes google look for the keywords only in the site you specified ;-)

I didn't realise you could do image transfer at all with photos printed on an inkjet. I KNOW you can't do it with real old-fashioned printed photos. I actually assumed the distressed look was intentional, I thought it looked great.
Elisa, just love it - great LO. Hope you enjoying your hols.
