My Love

This is a layout featuring my grandson at various ages.  The bottom two photographs were altered using a programme called 'Photofunia' which is a Android app but is also available on the web.

The photo on the left was converted to black and white then I used the app to make it look like it was on canvas.  The photo on the right was converted to look like it has been done as a sketch.  There are many different options to choose from and would recommend you try it out.

My main jumping off point for this layout was Scrap it with a Song with current challenge of using the song 'Take my breath away' by the Berlin.  I used the words - MY LOVE as the title of my layout.

I also used a colour prompt from Colours Stories Inspiration - Case File No.7.  It's great for getting you to use colour combos you might not ordinarily think of.

I used the items highlighted below:


EVIDENCE DETAILS

Choose two (or more)of the following elements to include on your layout:

• distressing
• wood or wodgrain (could be paper or embellishments)
• metals
• an element to hold things, like an envelope or pocket
• stripes (as inspired by the watermelon)
• cluster similar items together
• combine straight lines with organic shapes (i.e., shapes with curves)

JOURNALING DETAILS (TESTIMONY)
Choose one (or more) of the following to inspire your journaling:
   

• 3-2-1: 3 most important things, 2 questions you have, 1 word to sum up the story.
• Use all your senses in your journaling.
• Grocery list: Journal in the form of a list.
• The roots: What is the origin of the picture or what's underneath the story?
• Inspiration Words: natural, vital, root.

 I love using sketches to focus my creativity and used a fabby sketch from Sketchabilities by Karan Gerber.  See the sketch below.
