she's growing so fast
understands too much at times
is so lovely it hurts my heart
not a baby anymore
her emotions are so deep for an almost 6 year old
I would do anything for her
The colors were inspired by The Color Room 1 Year Anniversary!!! Thanks for inviting me back to celebrate with you this week, ladies!! :)
Amazing how color can set the theme, isn't it? When I first saw this palette for The Color Room 52th Palette, my heart sank......pastels are so not me. But, I thought, I'm going to go with the shabbiness and dusty feel and just embrace it. A little editing made the photo work perfectly with the colors and then it all flowed together.
I drybrushed some Antique White DecoArt Americana Acrylic on the edges to soften and give a more vintage feel to the paper. I added the beads to the center of the flowers by blobbing some glue in the center and then pouring on the beads.....I let a few scatter that had fallen in the glue.
Here's the inspiration and palette, hope you can play along! I linked the photo to get you started.
It's looking like a gorgeous weekend ahead. Spring break is almost over, it's been nice but I think we are all ready to get back on schedule, at least I am. ;)
Wow, your layout is gorgeous! I simply adore these colours! Love the way you did the journaling too.

ReplyDeleteI love the effect that the whitewashing has given your page, Lucy. I too could have almost written that journaling about Jamie at age 5 and a half! We're starting to be able to see the person that they're going to grow into, aren't we? It's such a beautiful age.
