| Favorites? Ombre. Yellow. cameras. Sunrays. Summer. Sassafras Lass. Stitching. Misting. |
The blog line up is:
Michelle- My Analog Life- you are here- HIYA!
For my project I featured some of my personal favorites:
- Favorite paper brand: Sassafras Lass paper in a black and white stripe pattern. I love black and white stripes so much I have a divider just for them in my paper cubby.
- Favorite color: yellow- it's cheerful and screams, "SUMMER!" my favorite season
- Favorite trend: sunray patterns and stitching
- Favorite technique: ombre effect using a gesso base and mist paints.
- Favorite page theme: my daughter Lola in an everyday photo- I don't scrap holidays often
- Favorite Scrap FX wordlet chipboard: The Words of Love piece because the words are still attached to their frame. I can snip the words out and use them individually in my Project Life album or as one piece for major impact on a page.

| I started with some scraps from a Studio Calico print and pushed them around the page for quite a while. Then I realized the scraps should resemble a sunray pattern. I painted the chipboard in an ombre pattern- something I've been meaning to do for months now. ONLY after I realized I was out of yellow Amy Tangerine floss did I think to use orange jute cord to stitch the sun. I LOVE the result! It's organic design process took three days to accomplish but I felt none of the stress/pressure I usually feel when making a page. |

| So this journaling makes me laugh- did I really just journal about sweat??? My thinking was "The photos are pretty abstract here- let me add some meaning." This was the result. I tried getting the traditional smily toddler shot, promise! Lola rarely co-operates with my camera antics . I got tired of yelling HI! OO LOOKY HERE! HEY PRETTY PRETTY GIRL!! SMILE! This type of photo is more interesting anyway. I hope she feels the same way. If anything I can blame her for not looking up ever EVER when I was trying to get a cute shot. |
Have a GREAT weekend!!
Michelle
