"Evidence of the Love You Two Share" by Megan Bickers
Supplies Used - Cardstock: Close to My Heart (white); Patterned Papers: Cosmo Cricket (Circa 1934: Chaplin, Garbo, Bette, Elements, and 6x6 pad); Stamps: Technique Tuesday (Ali Edwards), EK Success (Image Tree Alphabet, Antique Typewriter), and Office Date Stamp; Inks: Ranger Distress Inkpads (Antique Linen, Barn Door) and Uchida (Marvy Matchables Black Inkpad); Marker: Zig; Punches: EK Success (heart), Carla Craft Binding System (Square Holes Punch), and We R Memory Keepers (Corner Chomper); Embellishments: American Crafts (Sweet - Love Tomato Glossy Chipboard Alphabet Stickers)
Photos: four photos total used.
• Instead of using a horizontal 4x6 photo, I used a vertical 4x6 for the main photo.
• I used three photos instead of four in the strip along the right side of the layout.
• I added stamped journaling words between the smaller photos.
• I turned the right side strip into a photo negative strip with punches.
Title:
• I used the journaling area next to the title for a longer stamped subtitle on my layout.
• I added my journaling in strips on the left side of the main photo.
• I changed the right side journaling strips into a tab with the date.
• I added a larger tab along the bottom of the main photo with a stamped saying.
• I stamped the saying in red ink, then went back, cleaned my stamp off, and used a marker to ink up the bottom words in black. Then I stamped those words on a white piece of cardstock and cut them out in strips and glued them down over the original stamped image.
Embellishments:
• My main embellishment was a printed image of a typewriter that I cut from a pattern paper.
• I used small punched hearts to accent my layout.
• Covered up the word " love" on the typewriter image with one of the hearts.
• I edged the outside of the layout with a black inkpad and sponge.

oh what sweet pictures of the kiddos! Great job on everything, I love that little typewriter!
Love all your little details! Great LO!
I love this vintage style paired with modern, funny photos, usually it is reserved for old or serious photos. Thanks for all the tips on using stamps, I forget to use them on layout. I love all the details and how it turned out.
