SHCG: I like how you alternated the photos between your mom and dad, and how the two photos that are double matted are on opposite corners, one of each of them with a group of wax figures. Nicely though out composition. Once again, love the embellies here, and would like to see some gold added to the black square confetti pieces to further accentuate those embellies. I was originally going to suggest breaking up the title, so that the second two words appear on this page, for continuity; but, on further thought, I don't think it's that necessary. I marvel at your ability to pick bg pp that complements the page when it's not that obvious of a choice. I wouldn't have picked this, but it really works. Nice job!
SHCG: Hilarious. Cute and hilarious: that is what your parents are. Another fantastic 2 pager, chickadee! No Ellie Pooh here, but I don't really see a spot for it, anyway. The splashes of blue are perfect and complement the opposing side perfectly. I agree your friend's stickers are fabby here. Thumbs way up!
SHCG: What a fun 2 page LO and I am so wanting to visit this place too! I love the "corner" decos, they add the perfect touch and as usual your journaling as well as your use and placement of multiple photos are superb!
When DH graduated from grad school, we made a vacation out of it. We took a few days off & stayed in NYC (we lived in the ‘burbs at the time). Various family members came to town, including my parents – we had a wonderful time! This is the start of graduation day, the journaling on the top left side covers what we did before we went to the museum.
(Journaling continued from left side) “I had wanted to visit this world-famous wax museum for a while but had been daunted by the weekend tourist crowds; having my parents visit & taking a vacation day from work provided me w/ the ideal chance to finally go! It was great fun w/ Mom & Dad w/ tons of photo ops. Though Daddy's camera broke on the 2nd to the last floor. We re-did the photos on that floor & I left while they revisited the other floors. We had a blast!! Following that, back to the hotel to prepare for Greg's Grad…”
This LO comes chronologically before the “Greg's Graduation” LO earlier in my gallery.
All the paper I used, beside the background & what the text was printed on, were scraps. The matte behind the title is one of my bleach pen doodling test sheets for my “Toe Side Triumph” LO w/ bleach pen doodling (earlier in my gallery). (This piece was Ellie Pooh paper w/ bleach pen doodling, I thought it was neat how it bleached to that warm beige color but ultimately I liked the cool violet bleaching of the Bazzill I used better!). The sticker on the lower rt side was given to me by Karishma, a buddy from the Manhattan Scrapbooking Meetup.com group (she's here on sb.com too but forgot her screen name)… we both thought something should go in that corner & these stickers of hers were perfect…love it when that happens at crops!
