That burnt red is incandescent, against that steely blue and grey it is vibrant and very, very cool.
I prefer the cooler side of the spectrum and so I started thinking about what sort of layout or project would suit this as a backdrop.
I decided on a layout and then decided on my photo of Louis, my eldest son, taken fairly recently; he was being told a tale from his Nanny
Enthralled. I loved the look on his face so I scooched back and snapped him.
I do believe that this will be a photo that I will treasure (and scrap) till the end of my days. I also very much need to add that this layout looked quite sparse until I saw Sian's layout here that I loved and inspired me to add the strips which has finished it off. Thanks Sian.
So usual colour combo blog hop info applies. I hope you got here from Bunnyfreak’s fab blog-she’s clever, well you know that if you have come from there.
If you made it all the way here then many thanks, I appreciate it.
Here is the full blog hop.

ReplyDeleteThanks for the comment on my blog.
ReplyDeleteThat's a really lovely colour combination, I would never have thought of putting the blue in there but it really makes the page pop. I also think you've found a clever way to use up all those annoying little scraps!
What a sweet photo and I love all your patterned paper strips! See you in the Pretty Paper class!
ReplyDeleteNot that's a "scrap page" - love all the strips you used. Nicely done.
