This turned out sooo cute! I love the little octopuses you made and their little hats - just adorable - I really like how you did all the little bubbles around the page, too! The title work it just awesome. Yeah, it had to be a '70's thing because none of my kids got one of these. I think by the time mine came along, she was into painting because mine all got little wooden step stools with beautiful characters painted on them... So sweet...
I'm in love with your story about these wonderful handmade gifts and your beautiful layout tells it so well with the varied papers and "bubbles" and your own handmade little guys!!!!!!
This is such an amazing LO! The title drew me in RIGHT AWAY! I love that you scrapped these gifts... what a treasure. I love the design of your LO... I am totally in love with the design, the pictures, the journaling, the colors, the title... LOVE LOVE LOVE. I just noticed the "Made with Love" ... I have a GAZILLION of those beads... hmmmm... thanks for the inspiration!
Photo of Christmas presents my mama made for some of her grandchildren. I used DCWV White Ginger paper pad for this layout. To make the octopus embellies I found a photo of a cute octopus online and traced him into the Silhouette program. I cut them from white card stock, then colored them with Copics. The faces were drawn with a black pen. The hats were also cut with the Cameo and I colored them with Copics to mimic the hats on the octopuses in the photo. I punched "bubbles" from some pearl finish vellum paper and adhered them around the page. I added googly eyes to the octopuses. The made with love is some beads I've had in my stash forever...as are the hearts. I added a bit of faux stitching around the photos and the rectangles to finish it off. Oh...the title work was created in the Silhouette program with the Agent Orange font.
