Here are some recent layouts that I haven't shared yet here on my blog.
The first one was for TCR #96. This is the color palette:
These colors are not so me, but when I found a photo of me and my mother I wanted to give it a go.
This is a photo of me and my Mom 20 years ago when she was 59 and I was 33 years old. In 5 years me and my DD#1 will have the same age difference. This is what I contemplate in the journaling which is written in Finnish (my native tongue)
It's been 14 months since my Mom passed away and this is the first time I have scrapped a photo of us two together. I miss her but I know she's in a better place. Now I'm able to reminisce and enjoy the good memories.
The next layout was for CSI#6.
EDITED: I JUST FOUND OUT THAT I WAS PUT "UNDER SURVEILLANCE" ONCE MORE AT CSI WITH THIS FOLLOWING LAYOUT!!!!
These colors were fantastic. Here's my page "Few and Far Between"
"Few and far between are the times we all get to be together. Maybe for that reason we cherish those moments so much. It's such a comforting thought that we all feel the same way. It's clear how our love for each other shines through"
And then I attacked another "case file" for CSI. It's the number 7.
Oh man! This must have been the most difficult color scheme ever for me. I definitely am not a pastel-kind-of gal and would have never ever used these 5 colors together BUT I'm so very proud of my finished layout. I have a feeling it will end up being one of my favorite layouts ever!
Evidence: distressing both with Distress Inks (the chevron stencil with Weathered Wood)and with sandpaper(the edges of the background paper), metal (made a metal heart from wire and the title chipboard circle has been attached with staples), stripes (washi tape, tissue tape and the journaling with dymo labels)
Testimony: my journaling is a list with "quantities". It reads: 30 years of marriage, 3 kids, 1 home, endless love
The random stitching and the distressed edges portray some of the rough patches of our marriage whereas the big and bold hand stitching on the heart is a symbol of our long and strong union.
And last but not least, the layout for TCR#98
Love this color palette. Here's what I came up with
Used some gesso, book papers, dug out old foam stamps and stamped with acrylic paint, splashed some paint and mist and used the sewing machine.
The journaling reads: Mission impossible to find me a hat that fits. My head is too big!! Franco took this photo in Athens in January when we went shopping.
I really do like hats, but have a really hard time finding any that fits properly:((((
EDITED: I WAS FEATURED AT TCR WITH THIS LAYOUT!!!
TFL!
