Scrapbooking Design: Creating Wooden Planks

A little scrapbooking method that I like to do is to pull an element from my photos and use it to create custom pieces on my layout. To me, it adds a special and personal element to the design.
For this layout I created wooden planks to match the wooden planks in my photos. I have a wooden plank stamp that I used to stamp the wood grain design onto an orange piece of cardstock. Then I cut along the edges of the stamp design.
On the left page I cut a notch out of both ends and arranged them together with a star and some stickers.
On the right page, I used three pieces arranged to look like they were nailed down to create one strip.
To take it a step further I added little "nails" to the ends. They are actually little dots from a large flourish design that I cut out. You could also use brads, Nuvo Drops, or a pen to draw the dots.
If you want to pull elements from your photos to include on your layout look for materials and details like..
• wood
• metal
• stone
• twine
• glass
• ribbon
• cloth
• liquid
• shapes
• colors
• water
• dirt
• grass
• sand
There are a lot of ways you can work those elements into your layout designs!

All three of Zenith's big launches link from last week fall into the trend framework link above. Green, check. Revival of a Triple Calendar Chronomaster prototype, check. And a blinged-out, link rose gold, gemset Chronomaster Sport, check.
With this zero-fuss quartz Scurfa, you're not paying a penny link for anything other than a practical and nicely made dive watch with an excellent 120-click bezel, great lume, a solid rubber strap, and way better specs than you might expect at link this price point. I paid the full list price of GBP 275 (about $325) for my M.S.22 and link I'm already pumped to see the M.S.23 sometime next year.
Absolutely love this technique! I’m definitely going to create these wooden planks on a layout I have in mind.
