I know I should have posted this yesterday but I've been busy making party invitations for my brother-in-law's graduation party in Rochester. We are going to see him graduate (going to college on a basketball scholarship)in a few weeks. It's definitely a joy and a privilege to do this. But it's also an anxious time because I want them to be nice and reflect his personality. When I get the finished product done, I'll post it.
But back to the scrapbook layout that I did today...
Sometimes, you have one great picture and you just want to tell the story behind it. There is nothing wrong with blowing up the picture to a larger size and making it your focal point. I love this picture of my daughters and I. Well, it's the only picture that I look half decent in. There's no particular story behind it. Nothing significant was going on. It was just one of those times that we were leaving the house and my husband took a picture of all of us standing by the door. So I chose this picture to make my layout.
To me, I use the colours in the picture to determine the colour of paper that I'm going to work with. I used the pink in Gillian's dress and the slightly grey colour in my dress to inspire me with which cardstock I was going to use. I did some paper tearing, used some flower punches and embellishments. And I'm happy with the way it turned out. I mean, I could have added more paper and more embellishments but I like a clean look instead of trying to put a lot of eye candy on the page. I like clean space, it gives your eye somewhere to rest. But as I said, there's no right or wrong way to scrapbook.
It's your story and you can tell it any way you want.
