Happy Friday! What a great day...not only is it reveal day at SOUS but here in SE KS we have a snow day! One of the many rewards of working in the field of education....LOL!This wonderful sketch is by Aymee Gandy. When I saw the layout of the pics I knew I wanted to do something unique with it. This is a pic of my son sitting in a Japanese garden. I printed it @ 8x10 and then cut the photo apart cutting the sizes appropriately, matted each of them, added foam tape doubling the thickness on the largest photo. I love the finished effect of the photo! These are once again beautiful papers by K&Co from the Que Sere Sere stack.
The tree is from Happily Ever After. I added some white pearl paint to the center of each flower. I love using different textures in my projects and adore the look of fiber so I have wrapped some around the bottom of the page.
The flower is once again Happily Ever After, bamboo and leaves are from Life's A Beach. The leaves are cut in two sizes and the layer is set a bit off, I liked that look. I cut the circle from Plantin in two sizes...one in brown one in the patterned paper...distressed the edges a bit with an emery board as well.
The title is from Life's A Beach...I cut some xtra bamboo leaves and added those to the title cut. My dragonflies are from Stamping and are cut in both brown and patterned papers with pearl paint added to the body.
I hope you enjoyed your visit to my blog and will stop back by soon...I love all the wonderful comments you leave...they truly brighten my day...thanx for that!

Wow, what a beautiful LO. Look how serene, and the beauty just surrounds him. Love the dragon flies and the pear paint on them. I just love this layout.
ReplyDeleteI saw the sketch and all I could think of is what can I use that has four photos? If you don't mind I would like to scraplift the 8 1/2x11 and utilize it like you? The next page in my book, again is at the BD party, but it's the younger one climbing on the table and getting into the cake... If thats ok? Then all I need to do is look at this work of art you created, designed on Amy's clean sketch and put a new twist to it! I will say I am tired of party hats!
Have a great day.
ohhhh Sandy I am lovin' this!!The colors and the cuts are perfect for this page!Beautiful job Sandy!!!Enjoy your snow day and stay warm!

Sandy that is an outstanding layout, those are my favorite Cricut Dragonflies, although I have to admit I have never met a dragonfly I did not love. Hugs
ReplyDeletebeuatiful Sany, the layout is stunning, I love how you took the one pic and turned it into 4. I did that one a layout when I first started scrapping and loved the out come. Great job as usual :0)
ReplyDeleteSandy, you already know that I love this page but I'm so glad to see the close-ups! And what a neat idea cutting your 8x10 into smaller pieces! Fab! I too love those dragonflies .. such a good boy option! Okay, I'm off to work .. no snow here ..yet! May get ice later. Ugh!
ReplyDeleteOH MY! this is stunning!!! I love all the details, I always look forward to seeing your detail shots!
ReplyDeleteI want to scraplift your photo idea too! That's awesome, and it really makes the photos stand out, and emphasize the serenity of the location.
I am NEVER disappointed on fridays, Love SOUS and your team's creations.
Wow,what a gorgeous layout..I love all the details. You are so fantastic at that and you capture so much..I might have to scraplift some of this idea...it inspires me for a layout of my dd and waterfalls...I haven't made a layout for that yet..TFS
ReplyDeleteGood morning! What a friday, huh? So glad its the weekend! I LOVE the tree...I don't know what I would do w/o all the extra photos! I just love to see the details. I love what you did with the photo..turning out awesome!
ReplyDeleteMaybe I can't read because I didn't see any typo's in your comment on my blog. But I was happy to hear your grandmothers saying again! So cute!
Love u!
Was just over on SOUS and saw your beautiful page layout! I just had to come over and find out how you did it! One of the things that I love about your projects is that you use bits from different cartridges that I would never think of ...thanks for that and for your inspiration! Pam
ReplyDeleteSandy once again a masterpiece. I love the effect of the pics...excellent and the title and the tree ooooo fantabulouso!!! Super idea, beautiful patterned paper and a handsome young man. Love all the elements and the awesome details, the dragonflies rock!! Ooo enjoy your snow day and as for us it supposed to be coming to NC, which will be awesome!! We like never get snow!! (I think I have told ya before my moms family is all from Kansas, a little town call Arkansas City, KS.) To this day my mom wershs clothes not wash them...lol!!! I find it so funny! Take care and make lots of scrappy stuff! Dawn (thanks for coming by and all your wonderful comments)
ReplyDeleteSandy... you never cease to amaze! Cutting up a larger print is absolutely brilliant! It gave it such a cool effect.. and I, like everyone else who has commented you (and those that haven't), will be taking this idea and using it myself! The papers you used on this LO are so perfect... and I love, love the fibers! And you are one of the only people I know who can take dragonflies and flowers and not make it too girly for a boy! Way to go!! Thanks for sharing another great inspirational LO this week!

Yesm as stampmom9 noted above, the snow is headed towards us in North Carolina. Being from Pa originally, I am in NC to get away from the snow! LOL!! This page is spectacular. I love the effect of the photo and I would never have thought to double up on the foam under the largest picture. Pure genius!
ReplyDeleteLOVE the way you cut the pic and the detail and colors here are AMAZING! xxD
ReplyDeleteI really like what you did with the photo. It takes a busy photo and gives it focus. Bravo!
ReplyDeleteSandy I am lost for words. I just love what you did with the photo it looks amazing. You just manage to pick perfect papers and embellishments. Such a stunning layout and really loving the fibres.

Hi Sandy

I really love how you did the picture and that paper is perfect ..I love K&Company papers they are so pretty and what you do with them makes them even better!
Big Hugs Wanda :0)
Hi Sandy,
ReplyDeleteAnother beautiful layout. Your albums are truly works of art, girlfriend - people would never be able to put them down with all the craftiness going on there. I love the details you add to each page and using so many fabulous techniques! You've taken scrapping certainly to a higher level. No longer will we be content to look at plain pages with stickers slapped on to bring out the story. I love that you share this with us. I hope you have a super fine weekend girlfriend! ;~)
so sorry I'm so late..been sick as you know.. I truly love love love this layout.. The way you added the photo is just perfect and the papers and colors are so soft, goes so well with everything you have added..Another masterpiece..
