Welcome to the Scrapbooking Global Blog Hop.
The theme this month is: Your Favourite Black and White Photograph.
The theme for this month has been decided by the talented Mai Lavidalie..
When I saw that this month’s theme was favourite Black and White photograph I had just received the photos from my son’s wedding in April and there was a wonderful one of my hubby so I decided to make a scrapbook layout called He’s my Hubby.
How I made my He’s my Hubby scrapbook layout
First I started with a 12×12 piece of Basic white card stock. I then decided to use the Zoo Crew 12×12 designer series paper as it has some lovely black and white patterned papers. I cut 5 4cm strips from 5 of the papers. Next I stuck them onto the Basic White card stock. It did take a while to work out the spacing between each strip.
Next I decided to mat layer my photograph and for my first mat layer I used Basic Gray card stock. For my second mat layer I used Basic Black card stock. I then stuck the photograph onto the may layers.
Next I found some playing cards that I got from inside a Christmas cracker. I wanted to use the Joker one as my husband is always joking around trying to make me laugh. I chose the King playing card as he is my king and finally the Ace playing card as he is an Ace person. These I mounted onto Basic Gray before mounting onto Basic Black mat layers.
I decided to do some doodling on the scrapbook layout so using the Basic Gray Write Marker I drew scribble lines down two of the gaps between the strips. Then I drew faux stitching down the side edges.
How I made journaling pull out tab for my He’s my Hubby scrapbook layout
I cut a piece of Basic Gray card stock to fit behind the photograph with a teeny bit sticking out on the left hand side and a larger bit sticking out of the right hand side. Next I stuck the Ace playing card onto the right hand side of the tab. I then cut a smaller piece of Basic White card stock and to write my journaling on. Next using a white gel pen I drew faux stitches along the edge of the Basic White layer and the edge of the tab. Where the pull out bit is I had made a small square so I drew in a heart to fill in the space.
How I made my title for He’s my Hubby scrapbook layout
For my title I due cut out my hubby’s name remembering to add the adhesive sheet before I die cut out the letters using the Alphabet a la Mode dies. I cut the end of the Basic Black strip into a flag end and added it to the scrapbook layout using Stampin’ Dimensions.
How I finished my he’s my Hubby scrapbook layout
Finally I stuck the Joker and King playing cards at the top of my scrapbook layout and added some white Classic Matt Dots to the title and to both hearts.
I hope you have enjoyed seeing my He’s my Hubby scrapbook layout. I very rarely do a scrapbook layout using just one photograph but I love this one so much I wanted to spot light it. Why don’t you give it a go at using some black and white photographs on a scrapbook layout and share your layout on to my Facebook page.
Until next time, keep stampin n crafting,

Love the cards added to your layout. The journaling pullout is brilliant!
Cheryl, what an AWESOME layout for you AMAZING Man. He sounds like my Hubby, it is always good to have a great subjects to scrapbook about. I have plenty of photos of my new grand daughter that I could have used BUT I chose to scrap myself which is something I don’t do often enough.
Love the colour palette you have chosen too <3 Zoo Crew is a great DSP. Thank you for joining in again this month. Cheers Shaz
