For this layout, I decided to use the pink and gray tapes as a starting point. The pink striped tape seemed to have a vintage feel to it, so I decided to stay with that vintage theme, adding in the pink vintage flashcard on the left and the found black and white photograph on the right. I imagined the couple in the photograph spending the summer together in the country - rowing on the lake, going to the theatre (the ticket stub) and falling in, and then out of love at summer's end.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e I worked quickly and added in the other bits of tape and collage as I worked. I didn't over-think the composition; it was almost as if I was \"painting\" stripes of color with the tapes. In addition to the five different washi tapes, I used ledger and graph papers, a piece of a dictionary, letter stamps to add the \"ONE,\" and a piece of a doily. The handwriting on the left reads: it was a long and splendid summer… and on the top of the right hand page I wrote in pencil: we were together for a summer… as a caption for the photograph.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Free Projects","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45452460982423,"sku":"PROJ-0092","price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0659\/5546\/3319\/files\/PROJ-0092__92933.1622235883.1280.1280.jpg?v=1746791380","url":"https:\/\/stampington.live\/products\/free-how-to-project-sketchbook-layout-and-inspiration-project","provider":"Stampington \u0026 Company","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
