It's an ANYTHING GOES kind of month over at Challenge Yourself. Isn't that the way it should be since summer is just getting started? My kiddos have 2 more days of school and at least for the first week or so, it's going to be "anything goes".
I knew that I wanted some texture on this page, so I started with modeling paste and a stencil. As that was drying, I searched for what colors I wanted to play with and came up with this teal/yellow combo and loved it. I knew the photo would pop off the page against it.
Started with a little bit of misting and then started layering the scraps over it until I was pleased with the look.
I added the black washi to ground the page because after I placed the photo, the BG kinda disappeared.
As always, I started by searching my scraps been to find bits and pieces to play with.
This photo was taken just last weekend at Sawyer's 10th birthday party. I can't believe he is double digits!
Next up, the title... what could be more perfect than "Perfect 10". If you've been around my page long enough, you know that Sawyer is a competitive gymnast. A 10 is not a perfect score anymore, but still fits because we all know what it means.
Thanks for stopping by!

ReplyDeleteAwesome layout! I love the background you created, the colors you chose and the title IS perfect!!! What a wonderful memory to have recorded! Thanks so much for sharing and inspiring!
ReplyDeleteGreat happy page! You're right - the b&w tape was probably a good thing to add for a little contrast - makes the colours pop out even nicer.
