I wanted to share this layout with you all. I recently submitted a design team application and I had to make a layout. I haven't made a layout in years so it was a nice challenge. I enjoyed making the first one so much I wanted to try another one. This one is dedicated to my sweet grandmother, Thelma Cobbs. This was her college picture back in the 1930's. I just love this picture of her, the sepia tone color and the style is so classic. Her style has influenced my artistic approach. I loved all her lace handkerchiefs, hats, gloves, purses and jewel. So I have taken a lot of her traditional, glamours style and use it on my cards and now layouts. I know she would be so proud to see her fashion sense in my work. Maybe it is my way of keeping her alive and close to me. Love and miss you Nana! Supplies used are: Webster's Pages patterned paper, Scenic Route rub-on words, Prima flowers, leaves from Michael's, form adhesive on the lady images, cream ribbon and white...
I love that you did one in blue as well as the traditional. For me blue is a traditional Christmas color as well. My hubby is colored blind (red and green lights all look like clear) so he loves to have blue lights around, so I have accepted that as part of our Christmas tradition. Your layouts are just wonderful. You and DH take wonderful photos, and it looks like you two really enjoyed yourself this holiday season.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful layouts!!!
ReplyDeleteEach layout has its own special unique look to them, but all equally stunning.

ReplyDeleteLove these! You just do such great work! You have a special spot that adds so much to your creativity! I think it is wrapped up inside your heart! Loving the photos of you and Ron!!!
ReplyDeleteI hadn't seen the NOEL page or your Christmas card pocket page. They are just as fabulous as the other pages. I love the tissue paper sticking out of the gift bag.
ReplyDeleteI also love the non-traditional color background.
