Ever make a big mistake on a layout? Well, let me share my layout for the Memory Nest's Make it Monday. So, I had the sketch and I had an idea what I wanted to do. I was going to do this cool gelato background and it ended up being a big mess. So, I put to the side and tried again. I made this page you see....well kind of what you see. Originally, I put a nice wooden one and wrote all about my little guy's first month milestones. When I went to put the layout away, I realized that I had the wrong month. These were actually his second month of life photos. Whoops! I could switch out the wooden number easily, but the journaling was more tricky to fix. I had written right onto the page, so I had to cover up my old journaling with new journaling. This made the page very right side heavy. Then I had to add some more bits on the left side to help it a bit. It came out fine in the end, but I was in a bit of a panic for a while. I wasn't positive I was going to be able to fix it.

This is really a random photo of my daughter that I took while we were waiting for the bus. I played with the photo on my phone and made it more rainbowy. I really like how it came out, so I printed it out for my project life, but then I decided it needed its own page. It really is a random page for a random photo. This is my page for the Memory Nest . The circles on the sketch were my major inspiration. I felt that they would make a fun background. At first, I changed the circles to triangles and then I noticed all these old frames on my desk. I'm a chipboard frame hoarder. lol. I thought most of the frames were really ugly or they had patterns that I would never use. At first, I was going to just paint the fram...
Love your layout and take on the sketch Saskia! Your little guy is one Beautiful Baby too! I believe "mistakes" are "just another an opportunity to embellish!" and you did a wonderful job "fixing" the layout - we would never know if you didn't share your secret - but in doing so, I am sure you have helped someone faced with a similar problem! Yes, we did add a banner in the same place on the layout - great scrappy minds think alike! :-)
ReplyDeleteI absolutely LOVE what you did with the DT sketch...the stitching is a brilliant interpretation!
ReplyDeleteSuper page. And haven't we all had a similar mishap at some point! Well disguised though, I'd never have known.
