Hi Everyone!! I decided to play along with Creative Scrappers this week. This is an awesome sketch blog, you should definitely check it out!! Here is the sketch...
And here is my layout. I used the Add-On kit from 3 Scrappy Boys this month, which features the Wander line from Basic Grey!
You may be asking yourself...blues and greens with a sunset photo? Yeah, I wasn't sure it was going to work either. But I played with the photo a bit in photoshop and made it a bit dark and mysterious with just a pop of sun peeking over the horizon. And I think it works! And you really can't go wrong with circles, lots and lots of circles!
A little bit of paint, some flowers, and some letters from Cosmo Cricket finished it off!
I went to Hawaii last year at Thanksgiving and this is the first photo i've scrapped from that trip! I have sooooo many photos, it's completely overwhelming. So I chose to ignore them for now. Has that ever happened to you??
Happy Wednesday everyone, thanks for stopping by!
Beautiful photo of that Hawaiian sunset Mara! Great take on the sketch!
ReplyDeleteWhat a pretty layout Mara! I have done the same thing. Have you seen the new page protectors that are divided into 4x6 slots. You could always slip 5 in and scrap a 4x6 spot with journaling or whatever. I have yet to try it, but keep saying I will. Haha!
ReplyDeleteLove the circles, great LO!
ReplyDeleteI like how you altered the photo... very cool! I haven't used circles in ages! It's a great look!
ReplyDeleteI still haven't scrapped Christmas 09 because there's so many photos and .... yeah.... not sure where to even begin. LOVE your Hawaii LO and the colors do definitely work. I esp. like the brown background paper. those wood alphas are awesome :)
ReplyDeleteWow, you took it to the next level! Mara, Unfortunately I have big BOXES of photos!
ReplyDeleteWell if your not tempting me with your baked goods, your tempting me to call and book a holiday!!!! Such a beautiufl sunset and your Lo compliments it so beautifully..Great LO Mara..
