"Norris Turner - 1924/1944" by Julie McGuffee
Give a vintage look to new scrapbook pages with heritage colored chalks!
Materials Needed
  Craf-T Products Chalks and Applicators – Heritage colors
  Fiskars Paper Trimmer
  Fiskars Paper Edgers – Deckle
  Fiskars Border Punch - Diamonds
  Fiskars Photo Memories Country cardstock – Green & Cream
  Xyron 510 and Re-positionable Adhesive
 
Remember to choose colors of paper and embellishments that complement your photographs. Colors chosen here reflect the colors and theme of my photographs, but may not be the best color choices for yours.
Instructions
  1. Cut two 3” title squares from cream cardstock. Cut cream mats about half an inch wider and longer than the photographs and the title squares. Trim the edges with the deckle scissors.`
  2. Color the edges of the mats for the photographs with a combination of gray and brown chalk. Place the photographs on the mats with adhesive.
  3. Use the border punch to punch a diamond design on a scrap piece of paper. Place over the bottom of the title square then chalk over the design. This will work like a stencil to create a chalked diamond design. Chalk around the top and sides of the title squares (after they have been printed) in the same manner as the mats for the photos.
  4. Attach the title squares to the cream colored mats. Referring to photograph, arrange then attach the photos and titles to the page.
    Tip:
    Use chalk to add a hint of color to the photographs. Since these were a one-of-kind vintage photographs, I made copies on the Kodak Picture Maker to use on my scrapbook page.
