A New Layout

I finally have a new layout to share.  I haven't been scrapping layouts much lately and it took a challenge from one of the LCOM forum members - Sophia - to actually get my butt moving.  She challenged me to create a layout using pastel colours in honour of Spring and I had to use twine and decorative pins as well.  The decorative pin part was certainly easy.  I have a huge tin full of all kinds of different pins -- ones with leaves, with pearls, with gems, with flags...etc., etc., etc.

Since the colours were softer, I decided to scrap a picture of my daughter and love this one from last summer.  I also figured that the bright colours of the picture would pop against the softer pastels of the layout -- especially since I planned on making a very busy arrangement of flower clusters.

Materials used:  Bazzill cardstock and buttons, Prima pattern paper, flowers, resin elements and metal elements, Maya Road decorative pins, MME twine, Ranger paint daubers, Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist, Making Memories metal flowers, Tim Holtz Grungeboard, Stickles, Dollarstore pearls, Glossy Accents, American Craft thickers, pop dots and Recollections pearls.

I prefer the photograph to have more visual weight on the page than the embellishments and I think the contrast in the colours of the photo and the layout accomplished that.

Off to do another project while creative energy is flowing.  Have a happy Saturday.
