Starting Point

Monday means Scrapbook Starting Points over on Shimelle Laine's blog. She has a beautiful page and layout for this week. I took lots of inspiration from it, changing the layout to fit my never ending supply of panoramic photos.

I really was going to go the red-and-black route, as Shimelle did, but that color combination made for an odd Christmas looking page.

I went with this crazy mix of lime green, butter yellow, gray and pink instead.

So there.

I used Shimelle's ideas of washi tape and stripes along the bottom. I didn't add any journaling because the story is actually in another scrapbook, where all the "regular" sized photos are. I think it's a pretty enough picture to stand by itself.

The photo was taken in 2004. Oddly, I just noticed I wrote 2014 on the date.

I'm like a time-traveling scrapbooker.

*sigh*

Sometimes when I see a beautiful, serene scene like this, it takes me back in time, but never forward. Great colors on this page.

It's been awhile since I've seen your work, but I recognized it right away. (I took Shimelle's Pretty Paper Party). I just love your photos and great mix of patterned papers. Nice job!
