Outfit to Scrabook: Pretty and Eclectic

2011_03_24

The approachably pretty vibe of this outfit is outstanding. What a lovely ensemble to use as inspiration for a modern scrapbook page about Elizabeth Taylor, yeah?

To translate the outfit into a scrapbook page, I mostly drew from the color scheme. There is a bit of floral and black & white pattern going on too, but in dealing with photos, sometimes it’s best to keep patterns down to a minimum. I thought including this clipping from a vintage magazine would really give it that graphic modern punch. And Lord knows, Elizabeth adds her fair share of pretty to this layout!

March-24

supplies: scrap vinyl, vintage magazine clippings, yellow and white cardstock, and floral patterned paper from Sassafras.
