Last of the greens

 A few more green layouts for you with which to end the week! These two layouts are horizontal 8.5 x 11's - a size that I very rarely do these days.  The second layout only uses a little bit of green pp, yet the layout still looks very green because of the photo.

  This last layout is very green, and is a 12 x 12. I seriously love green and red together!!  Looking forward to a new colour week starting on Monday!

thinking green

I love green. So it came as a surprise to find that this green page (which you may be mistakenly thinking is brown) was terribly hard to assemble. Took ages. I realised that I don't normally scrap by colour, but am governed by the photos that I want to use more so than anything. (and I find myself frustrated that there aren't more mainstream scrapbook paper manufacturers that aren't taking the simple-I-would-think move to go digital).
May I present my take on green:
This is how I envision the finished product, plonked on a nice bit of brown bazzill.
and the main bit so you can read the little bit of journaling. This isn't the layout to expand on the strange wiring of daughter #2 but as I was doing it I was thinking about how this child will either run the country or end up in jail, most of her escapades come from her little brain keeping itself occupied. The hard part is keeping it occupied for good rather than evil.
And there you have it, I have written the journaling, or the starting of, for another layout right there. Next week perhaps! :-)

Week Four | Green

I can't believe it is the start of the fourth week in our colour series, the weeks are whizzing by at the moment!
This week I am going to share some old and new pages, one is so old it might even equate to 'real' scrapping. I used cardstock and even cut out parts of my son's birthday cards to make a grid on the page, and, hold your breath .... are those embellishments on the page I spy?!

The next two are digital.

The last one was a tricky page for me to make, not because of the story, but because I didn't have the photo I wanted to illustrate the story. I am not sure how clear and easy the journaling is to read, but, in the last holidays the kids had a great experience with a local artist who let them fill in a canvas for him and then he started painting creatures from the blobs and drips of paint on the actual canvas. At the time, I did have my camera, but I felt that it was not the correct etiquette to photograph him at work, even though it was all a bit of fun, but, he had several pieces there for sale and I didn't want him to think I was trying to copy his work in any way. What do you think, was I too conservative, or was this the right thing to do? Nicole, what would you say?

Anyway, there are my green layouts for this week, I use green a lot so it was easier than last week!
