Documenting Puppy Love with the SevenPaper Collection | Becky Novacek

SevenPaper collection Baxter

The layout I made titled “the story of scout” is very simple to make with a circle punch or Silhouette, precision scissors and a vintage typewriter or computer font for journaling. I used my circle punch for the papers and photos and laid them out without adhering. I used a pencil to calculate where my journaling would fit and proceeded to put the background paper into the typewriter for my journaling. I measured the space where I wanted the handcut alphas for “scout” and then laid everything out again and placed the Baxter Puffy Gold Alphas down first. Then I simply attached everything in place and did a little machine sewing around the journaling and on a few of the circles. I also added an Amelia Gold Glitter Heart to one of the circles. Simple and done!

I am so happy there is a Handbook Album with this collection! This album came together so quickly and was so simple.

On the first page, I just added a Wanderlust Label with my handwriting, a little stitching, another Amelia Gold Glitter Heart and a strip of pattern paper.

The next page is a photo that fits the pocket and another Wanderlust Label and typed journaling. Couldn’t be more simple.

I added an office tag with a photo and quote next.

On the backside of the tag, I added more of the labels with a typed quote that I love. You will also see the other side of the page with the divided pocket and small photos, with a gold alpha initial on pattern paper in one of the pockets.

On the backside of the divided page, I cut one photo to fit in the 4 pockets.

Next, I used one of the Baxter journal cards with a small square photo.

I used layered pattern papers from the Baxter 6x6 pattern paper pad for the background of the next page and another Gold Glitter Heart. A white paint pen was used for my journaling and white photo corners for a little added dimension and texture.

The background of the next page is a triangle vellum. I used white photo corners again and added vintage book page words.

The last page is one of the Baxter Journaling Cards again. I just cut it to fit and I think it worked well. I did a little machine stitching around the photo again.

When I put together a mini-album, I gather my supplies and use some of the same products throughout. This makes it feel a little more cohesive without being too matchy.
