layout for Product Preview: My Mind's Eye: Nice Ride

Our layout project for the evening. Colours are brighter in real life

Hi friends,
Here is the layout we will be making using the super cool Round and Round Collection from My Mind's Eye at this weeks Product Preview event.

This layout uses papers with cars and the title Let's Go. Some photo ideas include: Road trip photos, travel photos, racing photos, any photos with cars including real cars and toy cars, a photo with a child wearing a car shirt (I had one of those) or as I ended up choosing - a photo of a child/person with a Let's Go attitude. Lots of options when you think outside the box. If you can't find a photo, don't despair - this layout can easily have a photo added later.

Please bring:
  • One 4"x6" photo. Landscape or portrait orientation will work fine.
  • Basic Kit including fine tip scissors.
  • A dark brown, or dark red felt tip pen. I used a Sharpie since it has lots of ink but a Tombow or other felt will work fine.
  • A journalling pen for fine writing.
  • Adhesives: Photosplits and a fine tip clear drying adhesive (a glue stick would also work)

Product Preview: My Mind's Eye: Nice Ride
Date: Wednesday 2nd December at 7pm
Cost: $25 which includes product/project pack, entry in to win great My Mind's Eye products and yummy Waffle dessert.
Suitable for all levels of scrapbooker.
