This is fantastic. Your journaling is great...so descriptive & it nails the photo down. I have to do a page like this for my mom now...a non-standard heritage page because, yup, she's non-standard...thanks so much for sharing this!!
I love her expression! The journaling is perfect as well as its placement over the challenge's title. I especially love that you did not use the expected vintage pps and ephemera. You also have good use of complementary colors here, and I like the rounded corners of the blue bg pp on the black cs to anchor the b/w photo. There really isn't anything I'd change about this lo, except that maybe the polka dots in "p" would be more effective in white and the rest of the letters as dark as the "p." Like your mom, you kick @ss!
Lucinda, I love this. I love the colors. I love the photo. I think it's great the way it is.
(My LSS has that Sizzix alpha for crops you used for P lol.)
Awesome, love everything going on here - the complementary colors, torn vellum, the journaling & its vertical placement, all the elements especially that tiny tag on the right. Outstanding page, wouldn't change a thing.
Great work, Lucinda! do you look like Mom or what?! This could totally be a picture of you at 14, I think. I like the way you did the torn vellum over the bright orange paper behind the photo and the color scheme is perfect... calm blue but raging orange! Nice contrast and goes great with the story. Really good work! I love it!
Lucinda, you nailed this challenge. Definitely worth the wait! Cool pic and the story behind it is hilarious. I love that you got the look again when you showed her the LO! You better watch out! Pearl...I mean Peg...looks like one tough cookie! Great LO!
Very well done and beautiful!I like the colors-very appropriate for your mom the way you describe her. Love the way you put trouble under the journaling! The vellum under the photo is great !
I am so in love with this Lucinda! It's so out of the box to me. When you think of older pictures most people scrap them in a vintage style so this is so different and it really shows how well it works! I do however suggest the paper the journaling is on be a slight bit lighter because it seams the journaling is hard to see.
This LO is VERY good! Love the photo, before i even read the journaling I thought, wow, tough chic! The journaling is perfect, the colors, vellum, brads. Great job.
Lucinda this is beautimus!! There are so many things that I love that you've done here that I barely know where to start. The vellum frame/mat... WOW! Your journaling... WOW! This challenge was a while ago, so I'm trying to recall all the elements that I had on the supply list, but I honestly think they are all there. This is a lovely tribute to your mom and a top-shelf LO all-around. I wouldn't change a thing!
Journaling reads: The look says “I’m trouble.” At 14, she’s pegging her jeans, hanging with the in-crowd, sneaking cigarettes on the playground, and helping liberate a school bus for a joyride. Chin up, eyes direct, unsmiling. Bring it on, she says. I’ve got a ‘tude and I’m not afraid to use it. Sixty years later, I still can catch that look on my mother’s face and I know I’m in …
Mother said she used to practice this look in a mirror -- she said she cultivated it especially for her emotionally abusive father. Still... she was a bit of a troublemaker... and I saw this look just tonight when I showed her the LO. She HATES the name "Pearl" and prefers Peg. Completed for the "Trouble" challenge in Scrap Happenzz.
