It's funny how you so rarely use the "traditional" products because you always find a way to put such a creative spin on your layouts. This one with the newspaper is no exception-it turned out great and your bold-colored flowers are gorgeous!
Very creative, love those flowers! The newspaper worked great, Peggy. I like the punching and how you included her birth info. I also really like the triple matting. What a special memory. xx
For this LO, I started out with pictures I love ... Chloë's very first pictures, taken only minutes after she was born. However, the quality of the pics isn't that great, nor are they really "pretty" pics ... so how do you scrap pics like that??... well, experiment of course!!!! I saw several of my friends had entered the challenge over at The Creative Type (http://useyourtype.blogspot.com/2010/01/we-are-back-with-promt-23.html) , and I knew instantly I had found my experiment! For this challenge, we had to use newspaper, something I had never done before. I used newspaper as a background and to make the flowers and the leaves.
In creating this LO, I was also inspired by a challenge over at the ARTastic Challenge Blog (http://artasticchallengeblog.blogspot.com/). The floral painting inspired me to use these bold colours, which really liven up this boring colours of the pictures, and to use flowers ... something I hardly ever do!!!
Part of the text on the background newspaper reads: "Kleur je dag", which means "Colour your day". I was so tickled when I found this text LOL, funny how little things can make you happy, right? And even the image of the camera came out of a newspaper ... how about that??? In the framed stamps I added her date and hour of birth, weight and height.
