Hi there friends and happy Monday. Today I'm sharing a layout based off of two challenges. The first one is from this sketch at
Sketch N Scrap blog.
This layout was also inspired by the latest challenge over at the
Mixed Media Monthly challenge blog. The challenge this month was to create with any kind of mixed media while incorporating text.
I turned the sketch 180 degrees to conform with my picture and layout. I used a photo of my oldest son taken in 2013. I only used one photo instead of the two in the sketch. I did add lots of layered papers under the photo and matted my picture with a bold pink cardstock to make it stand out against all of the green, purple and black papers behind it.
Lately I have been wanting to be intentional with my pages. By that I mean that I will not create a page just because I had a cute photo or some products to play with. Because of this new goal, I thought long and hard about the story that I wanted to document with this page and I decided to jot down some of my feelings about how my son's smile reminded me of how much happier he was in 5th grade versus the years before because we got him an IEP set up in school. Having his diagnosis of ADHD in place helped us get the extra assistance he needed to thrive in the school environment.
For the mixed media challenge, I took one of the negative portion of some cuts I made with my silhouette. This particular one had the negative spaces of alphabets on it. I used my modeling past to add the design onto my paper. I also added some splatter of color shine to the page.
I used some wood stickers from We R Memory Keepers plus glittered stars and words from Heidi Swapp.
Thank you for stopping by and I hope you have a fantastic day,
Till next time,
Grace
