Webster's Pages

I was asked to participate in Webster's Pages' "Show Us Your Backsides" challenge. Webster's Pages makes beautiful papers with some very ornate designs but their papers all also have a "backside" featuring a less complicated pattern (stripes, polka dots, small-scale prints, etc.). I was honored to be among a handful of designers asked to create pages using these "backsides" as well as their new Storytellers letter stickers. This challenge was perfect for me, as I consider myself a "B" side person anyway and tend to gravitate towards the "backsides" of most two-sided papers anyway! I had a lot of fun creating these pages!

This first page features two papers from the Magical Wishes line and pink Storyteller alphas. I created a large parsley sprig element by cutting the green paper with my Slice. I pieced together nine leaves and handstitched a stem.


The second page features one paper from the Magical Wishes line (aqua) and another from A Sweet Life (brown swirls/vines), both punched with a star punch. The Storyteller alphas come on a 12" X 12" sheet and feature four different alpha sets, one large and three small. The three small sets are set apart with strips that say "tell your story" over and over. I cut out one of these strips and used it to connect page elements at the bottom of my page. I also cut out the "your life" phrase from the alpha sheet and used that at the top right. I added a stamped title and some stitching, including (gasp) stitching on my photo.
