this photo of Marius and Christoff was taken in October 2010. it is such a poignant shot - if you know the two of them! they are always captured with a fishing rod or a fish in hand, so i was so happy when i saw this picture. i had been itching to use the Old School papers by Pink Paislee. but, as i do not have children, i am denied the privilige of having first day of school, school events, last day of school etc photos to scrap. ( sometimes the physical pain because of the hole in my life due to this fact is really unbearable - and the worst of all is that i only have myself to blame!!) anyway, so i decided that i will use the paper - even if it is not for school, just to show how versatile it can be. i sometimes get the feeling that fathers and sons have "members only" clubs, that mothers, sisters and stepmothers can't belong to, and this picture just made me think that the die cut page would be a good fit. i mounted it on a reverse green patterned paper, and also printed 4 smaller size photos.
banners are so popular right now, so i made one, and just for added interest clear embossed the edges and then gave it a faux stitching finish. added a nice yellow brad in the centre.
here is the second layout with the same photo. i used the For the Record Collection by Echo Park. just love these retro colours. i glimmer misted the background paper first and then mounted my photo twice on two patterned papers from the range. i cut the scallop border from the border page and the "remember this" as well. i die cut a swirl from Tim Holtz and embossed it with Red Hot Utee and sprinkled some black Utee over it to just break the red.
the journaling strip is also from the border page and the title is from the sticker sheet. i just mounted it twice. added the little button just for fun!! so, if you REALLY love a photo, no rule ANYWHERE says you are only allowed to scrap it once! just have fun!!!
