SHCG: How much do I love your family Christmas get-togethers???? A ton! OMG, you guys totally rock, literally and figuratively. I have to admit, until I zoomed in, I thought that Flat Stanley was a blow up doll and I had a WHOLE NEW respect for the family get-together. *wink* Your amazing ability to remember details astounds me, and your ability to add them to journaling so perfectly makes me, quite frankly, envious. Another divine layout.
SHCG: I like how the silver heart seems to be the final punctuation in your 6-pager of this family event. The only thing I would have done differently is kept Greg's pic in the top row as a rectangle, rather than a circle, to better mirror the shapes in the opposite page. Looking through all your work, I felt like I was having just as much fun.
SHCG: Totally wonderful compilation of pictures/LOs for this event. I love how the pictures are candid, without preparation, really capturing everyone in their element.
My “Big B Bonanza” challenge for Scrap Happenzz Critique Group asked for 1) a color that begins w/ "B"; 2) a BUNCH of pics (at least 3 per page); 3) an embellishment or technique that begins w/ "B" & 4) bulleted journaling. For my response, I decided to do three 2-page LOs about Christmas Day 2005. This Christmas was particularly special for me because it was the first time in 4 years that my immediate family all got together since we live in different states (not everyone could even make it to our wedding in '04). So it was really important to me to include as many pics & memories of this holiday as possible, including tiny details from my parents' house in the photo backgrounds. These 2-pagers used 14-16 pics each, have blue (sometimes black & brown) in the pp, blue flecks in the journaling paper, & I FINALLY use the buckles I've had in my stash that I've never used until now.
Please pardon the imperfect scans/stitching; my scanner cuts off the margins. Also, my cutely private parents preferred to be blurred online so zat's what I did! And, I used a few bright SILVER elements – silver inking on the photos, foil/mirror-like silver cs & silver sequins - & the bling factor just doesn't translate online, they look really cool & shiny IRL but look dark here. On this one, the chipboard heart especially looks cool IRL covered w/ the mirror/foil paper.
I kind of did variations of a similar format for all of these but also wanted to make 'em 3 different 2-pagers.
I decided to only name who's who in the photos the first time they appear (or if they're in a pic w/ others' first appearances) as putting the names for each seemed redundant. So by the last 2-pager, there are no names for the pics.
The felt fusion was a birthday '08 giftie from QueenMel/Eat Sleep Scrap – thanks Mel!
