It's a Small World Layout

Using Supplies That Are All at Least 10 Years Old!

This layout went SO fast, and was very economical. The background paper is so old I don't know where it came from. I've always had it. There's no brand that I can find, and it's that older, thin paper that I would probably never buy now. The six flowers are made with an older EK Success punch, that was one of the first punches I ever bought. The centers are a 1/2 inch circle punch. "small world" was stamped with old CTMH inks and the discontinued alphabet "chocolate." I had to modify the "D" because it was too big for my paper, and all the Ls had the same problem, so they're actually just the top part of an exclamation point. There's always a workaround. I outlined the flowers and highlighted the letters with a thin purple marker to match the background paper. (The marker is probably more like 2-3 years old, so I guess I cheated a little.)

If I was starting over, I'd probably cut an inch off both sides of the background paper and mat it with a purple cardstock, but I'm not starting over. I think it turned out just as good as some of my more time-consuming pages, and it matches the It's a Small World right very well.

(Again, my cropping made the picture a little less than square, and it's much more even in person.)

Thanks for stopping by my blog!
