Be Yourself Layout

Latisha here today, and I am sharing a scrapbook layout.  My husband and I, along with some of our friends, recently attended a wedding.  The photographer was having people take out their cameras for a certain shot, and well we decided to do selfies too.

For me, I like to have a plan, especially when making a scrapbook page.  Either I sketch out my layout, or maybe a color combination struck my fancy.  Being inspired but having a plan, will save a ton of time.

I diecut my pattern paper, photo, and lay everything out.  Once I have everything exactly where it will go, and I am happy.  I will take a photo of my laid out project with my phone.  This is so I have a point of reference when I am adhering everything down.

As you can see, I have my phone out with the picture of how I want my layout to look like, with all of my supplies out.

Because I am adhering die cuts with a small area for adhesive to go onto, I like to use the Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L E-Z Dots® Permanent Refillable runner.  Adhesive will only go onto the surface area, so no messing with excess adhesive that you need to trim off.

To give the layout some depth I am popping some of the die cuts up using the Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L 3D Foam Squares Small White.

Here is a close up, of the great dimension you can get by using the 3D Foam Squares.
