Before I go any further I want to give a shout out for Cynthia at The Wandering Buckeye. Not only does she make lovely layouts, but some of the most awesome cards that even I can scraplift, and she is by far the best photojournalist of daily life I have ever seen. Without Cynthia I would probably not still be blogging nor would I produce as many scrap pages as I do. Thank you so much blond.
So my last layout today is the Power of Three challenge. I used 3 photos, 3 lines of AC Dear Lizzy (Neapolitan, 5th & Frolic, Lucky Charm), 3 layers of paper on top of my background, 3 basic colors (yellow, pink, green), 3 embellishments (to include 3 loops of twine) in 3 clusters. You know, I can get a little carried away sometimes but I think I met the challenge!
Twine: Doodlebug; Top 2 Flair: A Flair for Flair; Patterned Paper, Letter Stickers, Flowers, Flair in bottom right: American Crafts
Actually, this could have been an American Crafts page too! Of course, I just own way too much AC and need to use it up so I can buy more!
You may notice there is no journaling on this page - these are GiGi's photos and the layout is for her album. I often create layouts like this and leave the journaling for her to do when she goes back through the album. Sometimes I make a little companion page so that she will have a spot just to write whatever she wants without restriction or worrying about messing up the layout.
Okay, that's it for today. I hope everyone was scrappy today! I'll be back tomorrow with a few more layouts from the challenges at Pretty Paper.True Stories.
Cheerio!

Oh, my blond, you made me cry! =D That was such a sweet shout out!! I very, very much appreciate your kind words. I'm glad I get to play a very small (!) part in keeping you blogging!! :-)
ReplyDeleteThis page is another good one--you are absolutely the Queen of Awesome Layers! The pictures are so cute! And I love that you made the album so Miss GiGi can journal in it later. That's very clever.
I'll catch you tomorrow--I hope you feel better!!
Uh oh. It's after 2 PM here and you have not posted a single page. That either means you're sick (oh, I hope not!) or too busy creating (oh, I hope so!) In either case, just dropping by to say hi. =D
