Tutorial: Using Canyonlands Stamps with Allison Waken

For this spread I used a 9"x12" pocket page on one side with a full 9"x12" page on the other documenting my son's 13th birthday. For the full page I focused on one photo we took of the two of us together along with the wooden numbers that came in the Redstone embellishment kit. I made a title with the "celebrate" die and layered it with the photo, some cards and washi tape.

I wanted to leave the numbers 1 and 3 bare but added apattern to it with the new year kick off stamp set. I love how it turned out!

I used stamps throughout the pocket pages for a title and dates. I love how using stamps this way changes up the text and texture of a card without adding any more bulk! Plus, by using a neutral color ink I'm not taking away from the photos or the story, but adding to it!

The end result is a little bit about my week and a lot about my son turning 13 (how did that happen?!)
