This layout kept morphing as I went along. I knew once I saw the
ScrapbookSteals Jade 9 sketch that I wanted to use this picture and my hoarded Authentique Journey papers. The sunburst was the easy part. And the twine was a no brainer as well, as the current
Paper Girls challenge is to use twine. But then the photo placement caused problems. When I tried to use the sunburst rotated the other direction, there wasn't a great place from the title. So, I rotated it. Then I thought about the title. I decided to use some of the sayings from the WordArt
Kerys has on her blog for her February challenge. I thought about cutting out the words with my silhouette, but they were going to be so small that it would be hard to keep them intact etc. So, I made a mask of sorts and inked on top. The smaller ones are still somewhat hard to read, but I kind of like the effect it gives. All of those phrases are ones I don't want my son to forget!
The photo is from the day my youngest was born. Although the photo isn't centered, it is one I will cherish for sure! It looks like a very special time between daddy and son on the day they became out numbered (3 girls to 2 boys). Since these are the two males in my life, I also though it was a perfect picture (and layout) for the first challenge over at
About a Boy - Introducing (your boy).
