2 Blue Eyes...

Hello, hello!  Thanks so much for stopping by today.  I mentioned on Facebook the other day that I had whipped up a scrapbook page using this months fabulous card kit from Paper Made Bakery (which you will get to see at the end of the month).  Well, I just couldn't stop there.  Since Jonathan proved to be such a perfect model, I had to print off more of the pictures I had taken and scrap them.  For a bit of inspiration I turned to this weeks Tuesday Trigger, By the Numbers.


For starters, I wanted to incorporate the rainbow of colors, so I used ROYGB, minus the IV on my project.  I also included a number, yes it's only one number but hey it's there {smile}.  Using mostly papers from Echo Park's Little Boy Collection, I cut strips and notched the ends.  I added a few playful details, such as the clouds and stars as well as the little airplane circles to create that childish feel.




Here is a look at the inspirational pic:


I have been very inspired to try new things this year and expand my blogging to include scrapbook pages, altered projects, and of course continue to do cards.  But, more than that to show how I have done them.  Hopefully there will be a tutorial or two coming your way.  My goal is to continue to grow with my projects and my photography of them.

Thank you so much for popping by today, have a great one!

Lindsay

Gorgeous Lindsay! And those blue eyes are just AMAZING (what a CUTIE!)! I love the fun colours in this - such a great take on the Trigger - but the way you've used them aren't at all distracting from the focus of the LO!
