Layout Recipe # 8 ~ Crazy About Her

This week’s layout is one that I found while browsing the gallery at DigiScrapShak, this scrapper’s username is Kiki Scraps and her layout is entitled Crazy About Her. This layout caught my attention with it’s beautiful soft colors, the pretty glitter and simple design!

Ingredients List:

• Meredith Fenwick’s Lucky Seven: Crazed paper;
• Kristin Cronin-Barrow’s Shimmerdust in silver, green and purple;
• Tracy Ann Robinson’s Folded Notes note paper and Sweet Blue’s frame;
• Linda Gil Billdal’s Shimmer be Bright butterfly;
• Carrie Stephen’s Crazy Phrase.ology wordart;
• Nancy Comelab’s corner doodle;
• Micheline Martin’s Life Lessons folded flower, big ribbon, and glitter splatter.

Fonts used are: Pea Hailey

What was your inspiration for the layout?s theme or design?

I was inspired to scrap it when I started going through some digital photos and found that photo tucked away somewhere. I had completely forgotten about it. That purple sweater was my favorite and this is the first reunion with my fiance after we learned that he couldn’t come INTO Canada to marry me, so he was stuck across the border 12 weeks before our wedding and we had to change all our plans for the wedding. Still, he had tears in his eyes when we saw each other that day, and still said he didn’t regret a thing.

What special techniques/actions/effects did you use if any in creating the layout?

I’ve really been working on good shadowing, and I find what challenges it most is layering of elements. I also used the wrapping ribbon to hide some of the picture, which was a fireplace mantle full of junk. If you want anymore info, just let me know.
