“(Love) Minnesota” by Erin Blegen

by admin

Hello everyone! I know that everyone has been saying this, but- can you BELIEVE it’s August already?! Where does the time go?!~ But- a new month means a new theme here at Scrap FX, and this month it’s travel! I’m a bit tied down with having three children ages 4 and under, so I really don’t get to travel much- other than locally. So I decided to create a page about why I love my state- and chose to scrap a photo of my daughter by the lake. The abundant number of bodies of water here has earned Minnesota the title “Land of 10,000 Lakes”~ and it is most definitely one of my favorite things about where I live .

“(Love) Minnesota”

Let’s take a closer look at the Scrap FX chipboard used in this piece…

I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again: Scrap FX has a HUGE supply of chipboard titles and I LOVE them!! This particular piece was specially made for me as my state wasn’t included in the available travel-themed wordlets- take a look at the hoard included in the collection HERE.

What travel layout wouldn’t be complete without a compass? I love adding chipboard to my flower clusters and this one fit right in . I’ve simply painted it white before using a flourish stamp over top and inking the edges.

Flourishes like this one (Flourish Z) are a staple for any chipboard stash!

I love the backdrop frames that come in the frame packs (like Decorative Frame A Artsy). They’re perfect for adding that “something extra” to your photos .

Thanks for taking a few moments to stop by and have a look today! I hope you’re well and will be back later this month with some more travel-themed inspiration for you!!
