I will love you everyday forever...

I'd like to start by thanking the person on Pinterest who used these words (title) on their layout - whilst I'm sure it wasn't the first time those words have ever been used, i knew that one day I would create a layout with those every words for each of my children as they come along - so here's a page for my first born.

The design inspiration has been kindly provided by scrapfriends with their January 2014 sketch challenge # 21.  Whilst I didn't use all the elements within the sketch my interpretation was to blow some water colour around in the background; add some horizontal elements with rubons, washi tape; cluster some frames I made with scrap paper with other frame like stickers and finish off with my title made with my cameo.  

I had a little internal conflict with filling in open area on the right of the paper and adding some journaling (which is important to my layouts) however in the end I was happy to leave space open, balance the page out by adding the title to the lower right side.  And in the end the title was all I needed to say on this page - I think they are very powerful words and I didn't want to lose their impact.

And now I'm finally happy with this photo and it's layout.  I have pulled it from a page that I did in my early scrapping days (last year) and I never liked it (& was falling apart) so now it's been recycled and I love it.

Colour Palette Challenge #18 @ ScrapFriends

So here goes my submission for the Colour Palette challenge with ScrapFriends

The challenge:

I really struggled whether or not to do this one, as I am not immediately drawn to the colour selection - lots of strong colours together; however I looked through my photos and found one of my little one that could work with the colours.    I also drew inspiration from an 'art class' lesson  that I am doing at the moment.

Whilst its definitely not a favourite of mine and I happy that I managed to work within the colours of the sketch, with the help of my beloved Gelatos.
