You would never believe how long this layout took, so at the risk of embarrassing myself I won't tell. Take a look:
Hours. I had other layers planned, but I just didn't like it when I started constructing. So I ended up with a really simple layout, that in the end I like, and a lot of scraps on my desk.
This paper is from the Storytime DSP and I love it. I was upset when Stampin' Up took my school stuff away, but at least they gave me some great paper. Even the cute little ABC and ruler details are cut from the paper. I did use retired dies for the title, only because I liked this size better for the page. They are Early Espresso though they look black. :/
Here's a closer view of the corner. I embossed the strip of Pool Party with my Chevron folder and added little strip of the new ribbon.
I can't believe she'll start Kindergarten right after Labor Day. How can my baby be so old already?!?! I'm linking up with the
Paper Players. Thanks ladies for the spur to get last years pictures scrapped before this years are taken....always a bonus for me.
Your layout is absolutely beautiful Bobbie! It frames the great shot of your sweet girl perfectly. Love the little image you have taken from the DSP as an embellie too. Thanks for playing along with The Paper Players this week. :)
ReplyDeleteThis is a fantastic page Bobbie! It may have taken you hours but sometimes the clean look is the most difficult to achieve. You really rocked it here with the perfect placement of all the elements. GREAT job! So glad you joined us at The Paper Players this week!
ReplyDeleteFabulous, Bobbie! It is clean and perfect! Thanks for playing with The Paper Players!
ReplyDeleteBobbie, sometimes the best projects take a really long time to create...and this page is fabulous, all around! I love the balanced design, the pop of bright color and all of those beautiful banners. Your little gal is pretty cute, too. So glad you joined us this week at the Paper Players! :)
ReplyDeleteOh Bobbie
ReplyDeleteI take hours too. Sometimes after several hours, it amazes me how simple thing can be. Great page - I love it.
