This page in my son's college years album is titled family. The big picture was one of those summer family visits that do not happen often enough. I highlighted our family by adding our last names. Most of the folks in the picture have the last name of Selbe (my family of origin); being the only daughter, my immediate family has the last name of Varian. So the picture is family, Selbe and Varian. I love them and know that my ds has good memories of them. He actually was not present on this day.
I had high hopes for this page but it turned out to be a disaster. I was excited to use Heidi Swapp clear letters but they did not look good. I tried several techniques to cause them to stand out, tried to outline in pen, distress ink the edges and finally I ended up painting the letters. I did not like the FIRST THREE COLORS and had to scrape some of them off while one color wiped off with water. And all of this was done AFTER the letters were attached to the paper!!!! What a nightmare. I hear ladies talking, I see these great layouts here but to pull them off myself is a whole different story!
The letters hanging from buttons was lifted from Truth and Wisdom's lbc03 Diva page.
Days later I added the doodling after reading July CK and Scrapbooks, etc. I lifted some doodling bugs, the ladybugs from Scrapbooks, etc, the butterfly and bee from ScrappinSpanky's I'm Cute page.
No products have been added to this project.
Thanks for spreading positivity!
