Hi Everyone. Welcome to November! This year is just zipping by.
This is my first layout of the month. It's a happy layout, capturing the inquisitiveness of a child. I loved reading to my kids when they were little. It was a big deal at my house, and I'm really glad I was able to instill in them the love of reading. All my kids are avid readers to this day.
In my Happy Place
2Crafty Chipboard:
View Finder
Addy's Butterflies
In my Happy Place
All of the chipboard was first covered with White Gesso before altering.
I placed one of the View Finders on the right side of the photo. I painted it with Light Blue Acrylic Paint to play off the light blue in the flowers and the color of her jeans.
I added three of the Addy's Butterflies to this layout painted with Provincial Blue Chalk Paint. I painted them this color to play off the darker blue color in the flowers and the little girl's jacket.
I painted the title, In my Happy Place, with White Adirondack Chalk Paint so it would really stand out and also play off the white of their shirts. I try to always choose the colors I alter the chipboard with to be colors that are in the photo. The paper too if I can. This paper was perfect for this photo!
Hope you like this and that I have inspired you to color coordinate your embellishments and background to be an extension of your photo.
Thanks for stopping by, see you back again in a few weeks.
