Hey everybody,
Sorry it's been so long since my last posting----I was having blog issues. I couldn't figure out how to make my pictures move down with my postings. I know, don't ask. But thanks to Brandi (once again), I think I've got the problem solved. So here goes.
This was my 2nd layout on the design team. This one was a real challenge for me. I had a reeeaaalllyyy hard time with it. I was given the Cosmo Cricket paper, but from 2 different lines---the wedding and boys line. Yes, that was my reaction too. Huuuh? Anyways, I tried to make it work. The first challenge I had was the colors. These were sooooo not me. I had no pictures to match, so that's why they are in sephia. I figured with the pastel colors and the sephia pictures everything just had to be distressed. That was the only way I could see it in my mind. So as you can see, I layered a bunch of papers and distressed EVERYTHING. I took the scallopped pater and punched holes in it and then weaved a ribbon thru. One of the papers is cut out and shadowing over the large picture of my husband and I. Some of our challenges were to use circles and buttons in our l/o which I did alot of. I made alot of flowers and cut the spinner (which was given to us and had to be used) into a circle. The right edges of the pictures on the right side are cut to match the edge of the cirlces and there is a strip of paper on the bottom left side that is crumpled and stitched. I covered alot of the buttons and one of the clear ones is even alcohol inked on the back. Lastly I cut out the flourishes from one of the papers and pop dotted them.
