Here is my feable attempt at "pagerizing" Joni. I loved the idea of using the white paint to soften an otherwise busy paper. But didn't feel real successful. This is definately not what I was going for - although when I look at it now, I like it a little bit better than I did when I was working on it. In the future I plan to soften a paper that I have already chosen - trying to find the right paper to soften was crazy! And I also plan to water the paint down and spread it further so it looks more like a wash. I actually stamped the title - which I don't usually (never) do - but I was so not liking the page that I didn't want to waste any more time on it by cutting a title and then having to glue it down. Joni's is a great layout - mine is a cheap copy!:DThanks for sharing it with us Joni - it really was a fun page - and I really do plan on pagerizing it again in the future.
Don't forget the Pagerize This Challenge ends tonight at midnight. See all the details in the Pagerize This Challenge below. Joni will be picking a winner from all the submissions - and the new Pagerizer will be announced on Friday, October 15th.
kathy...this is really berry cute!! I love that red/black combo..makes the pics pop...which btw those pics are toooooo stinkin' cute!!! But I know what you mean sometimes...A layout just seems to be fighting me and so I just call it "done"...move on!
ReplyDeleteI really like the layout. The colours you chose make the pictures pop.
ReplyDeleteI chuckled at not wanted to spend too much on a layout you may not have liked. I do that too, I don't want to waste my good stuff.
How funny that you seem to dislike this layout so much. I really like it alot. I really love that flower paper and how you painted it. I think the framing around the pictures is great. All in all a wonderful layout.
ReplyDeleteI love your page! You really are not giving yourself enough credit. I am finding, that using paint really takes some getting used to. I think you used it well here. I know when I use it, it always feels a lot more flat or matte then what is in my mind. As I am using it more, I am getting more comfortable with the way it looks and feels on the page. You may just need to try it out on a few more pages too.
ReplyDeleteI like the bright white paint. I think it really draws the eye to the focal picture.
ReplyDeleteKathy, this turned out great! I think you did a perfect job "softening" the look. And your GDD is darling!
ReplyDeleteKathy, This is a great job!! You are too hard on yourself!! Your use of white paint came across beautifully. You have a beautiful layout! Keep scrapping!
ReplyDeleteI think this is a gorgeous layout Kathy! The colors are beautiful and I think you used just the perfect amount of paint.
ReplyDeleteLove, love, love the colors! And this little girl is such a cutie pie!
ReplyDeletevery adorable LO, Kathy. i especially love your color choices to complement the clothes of that cutie pie. the white paint really is a smart way to lighten the color and focus the attention to the middle. love it.
ReplyDeleteThanks all for your kind words - This page is actually growing on me. I can't wait to use this technique again. Thanks Joni for the great inspiration!
