Carnival of the Sea

This is my Explore layout for week two of the class.

Alex had his Carnival of the Sea a few weeks ago, an annual tradition at the Infants School, Mr Tucker dresses as Neptune or Poseidon (not sure which) and the classes dress in a turquoise/blue theme, pirates etc.

I didn’t get to go this year, as I chose Louis’ last sport’s day instead; (wrong choice as it turns out as Louis’ was rained off )

The layout is a bit of a cheat……….

Outrageous I know.

I made this layout of the event last year and as you can see I didn’t journal on it……I didn’t like the journaling part of a scrapbook page.

I have seen the light (Shimelle helped with that in another class, Blogging for Scrapbookers, I think).

This year I have added the journaling from that day IYSWIM.

A close-up of the photo embellishment that Shimelle prompted us to try, a great idea that I will use again.

I didn’t use a full size photo of this shot as it is not in focus. I had left the camera in manual mode and Mum didn’t notice until she got home, fortunately she checked and so got the close-ups of him at home.

Next year will be the last year one of my children will be in the Carnival of the Sea, I wonder what my scrapbook ‘style’ will be then?
