Kid at Play

After getting a super nice camera last spring, I went a little picture crazy. A perfect example of this was when my Mom's side of the family came up to the lake. Luckily, my cousin's sons didn't mind having a camera constantly in their face so I ended up with some photos that I really love. The youngest boy, Matthew, probably got the brunt of it. Now, since I have all these great photos, I get to make new scrapbook pages. Here's one using October Afternoon's line 'Campfire'.



I'm still working on my embellishment clusters, so it took me a while to get the buttons and circles to look right. Also trying to work on layering papers. To border the green polka dots, I cut short strips of patterned paper out of the 8x8 paper pack. Then to make them stand out, I inked them with my handy Chestnut Roan ink pad and staggered them. After everything was on the page, I wasn't sure where to put the journaling, so it's hidden under the large photo with a tab that you can pull out. I'm pretty sure this is one of my favorite pages I've done.
