Get It Scrapped CT: Monograms

13/08/2013 by heatherawsumb

The assignment: Make a page with a monogram used in a creative and prominent way. You might render it with a technique, tools or give it an updated and different look from the traditional.

MPC by Heather Awsumb | Supplies: Haunted Woodlands Solids, Messy Stitched Rounded Corners White No 1, Surf Lagoon Element Pack, So Fine Linen Buttons,Bead Scatterings, Tag Masks No 1, Scalloped Strip Masks, Ledger Grids Brushes-n-Stamps by Katie Pertiet; These Walls Kit, Star Gazer Kit by One Little Bird Designs; This One Brushes & Stamps by Ali Edwards; The Monthly (alpha) by Cathy Zielske; Alphabet Soup Boy Kit by Zoe Pearn

I found this assignment one of the most challenging that I’ve done to date. I don’t think that my style naturally lends itself towards monograms. Also, when I think of monograms I immediately think of someone’s initials. This makes me think of scrapbooking your children, which obviously I don’t do. I had the idea to render the monogram using layer styles in Photoshop elements. I wanted a “letterpress” kind of look to the monogram so I started out trying different monograms and fiddling with all the different styles until I came up with something that I like. Then I had to find monogram initials to use. I was working on this assignment right after Maseru Player Company’s (MPCs) last show and decided to use the initials and journal about how much I *LOVE* MPC.

One other thing that stands out to me about this layout is that I am LOVING star motifs right now. They are so much more versatile than flowers! I have bought a few kits in the last few months just because of the star patterned paper or elements in them. Here I used patterned paper and a scallop element with cutout stars – both of which I’ve had in my “stash” for awhile. I especially love to use stars on pages about MPC because I think it gives a subtle reference to being “stars.” Ha!
