* I started off with this photo, and chose these papers to go with, but once I had cut them and layered them up I wasn't keen on the blueness in the picture so went for a switch.
* I chose this one that focuses much more on just Lola. and she is wearing a yellow top which matches with my colour choice (bonus!!!)
* the floral pattern was sinking in to the background too much so i lightly inked the edges with black
* TOP TIP OF THE DAY: To make things stand out and separate from their surroundings you have 2 choices. you can either mat them or just ink them. inking is great for when you want a subtle change!
* I added a few layered embellishments in co iodinating colours to the papers. The banners were from a different range but i still think they work.
* I also often use the branding strip when I have cut them from the bottom of the patterned papers. they always work with the range and usually add something fab to the layout.
* This is the right hand side of the photo. I used the strip almost as a band to hold things under, I often do this when there are a lot of elements that i want to include on the page.
* Heres my journalling on a black pre cut tag. I used my NEW pink neon belly roll pen, and i love it :) hopefully those of you that like to read it can see what it says? apologies for the bad writing, the pen is quite thick lol
* I tucked this behind the other elements on my page and mainly in behind the photo. mainly because I hate my handwriting but think it should be included in the stories, this way I win both ways :)
* I sneaked on another cardstock sticker and added my journalling above the photo. its a bit long so I chose tiny letters in a hot pink to tie in with everything else.
* this is how it finished. I think and hope that it all ties up nicely and leads the eye to the star of the show!!!
thanks for popping in, see you next time xxx
