Date Night Down on Grayson

I'm adding to my 20 Dates in 2024 album with date No. 11. Although, this is the first page I've made that didn't include the date number!

In this album I follow a formula (1) 4x8 Layout + (1) 6x8 Pocket Page with (4) 3x4 pockets! In the pockets, I include the date, date number and some journaling. If I have ephemera I'll add it. But I don't always have ephemera. I might add extra photos or embellishments in its place.

The colors in the photos or, the colors of the products that I want to use, dictate the page's color scheme. In this case, I wanted to use the pretty floral on that soft blue background. I thought the greens matched up well with the green text on the coaster!

I typically use paper from a Studio Calico travelers notebook, that I cut apart. I pulled the tag patterned paper, floral, and "around town" from the same notebook because I knew they'd coordinate well. I paired it with a scrap of red horizontal paper on the TN page and used a stamp from Elle's Studio for my title. I wanted to balance the title with an embellishment and decided to silhouette a photo of our drinks to use as that embellishment. That wasn't why I originally printed the photo but I'm so happy I cut it up!

For embellishing, I used a few word phrase stickers in that kind of highlighter yellow/green color and clear sequins that I pulled from my stash! I thought the clear sequins worked well with the page because the mimicked the clear acrylic of my glasses. I wish I had a thousand more of those sequins!!!

I have more photos of this page over on instagram @miscpaper. If you're interested in seeing more of this album, they're all under the hashtag #jldatealbum.

Thanks for stopping by! Jamie makes, signing off.
