My latest page with
my current Counterfeit Kit* fits the
final challenge this month over at the CKCB because I have incorporated some vellum. Not just any vellum, but Crate's Boys Rule Starry vellum ... the final scraps. I received a full 12x12 sheet of it with my DT package from S J Crafts back in February and it has featured its loveliness on four or five pages now. It makes me sad that there is none left, but one look at my pages and I am happy, especially when I look at this one:
The photo is from our Disney 2004 holiday which was full of photo opportunities and there isn't always much to say about them other than where we were or what day it was. However, when I looked closely I realised that this photo represented No.2 Son's ability to put others first, especially his little sister and I felt that some journalling was required to celebrate his thoughtfulness.
Which also ties in nicely with
Merly Impressions current challenge to tell a story on the front of your page.
*I have added a couple of papers from MME's 6x6 Cut & Paste Charm pad allowing me to use smaller versions of the 3x4 cards in my kit and grabbed some white BG Chocolate Chip and Woodware Chippies alphas for a contrasting title.
Lovely page....and lovely story.
ReplyDeleteFabulous.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful elements (love the velum and the chip alphas), and colours, and story. that's the perfect page, really.
ReplyDeleteA very nice page - I really like the layout, but it's your journaling that makes the photo come to life & bring out growing personalities!
ReplyDeleteLove the tippy grid & journaling which points out the positions of their knees/feet! Great take on the story from a random photo op pic.
ReplyDeleteAawww that's a lovely story and so worthy of a great layout
