In putting this week together, I started with the photos as always as they are the core of what PL is all about. But I went with a different approach in selecting the designer and collection I wanted to use. Usually I will look at the photos and then through my digi stash to find a collection that complements the dominant colours in the photos. This can be a long process at times as my stash is quite extensive and just seems to multiply before my eyes at times (one should not sit on the net into the wee hours of the morning as a bit of cyber retail therapy can be dangerous!??!). Instead with this week, I chose the kit before even looking for and placing the photos as it was Just Jaimee's March Storyteller Bryce collection which had been sitting in my download folder crying out to be used. I had already decided it was an awesome kit before playing with it but fell even more in love once I started creating my pages!! The colours are some of my favourites - especially the dominance of red - and the elements are just divine with perfect journal cards, word art, washi tape and other embellishments. I love how the kit just works with my photos and this is definitely one of my favourite layouts for 2015 - well until another takes its place.... but the bar has been set rather high....
So lets begin as always with the left hand side page...
On Monday of this week, K surprised me with one of our much loved twilight picnics at one of our favourite local spots, Wentworth Falls Lake. It was a lovely mild afternoon/evening and a lovely end to a hectic Monday at school. Not having to cook was even better as I was not feeling well. I love this photo of my two beloveds being silly as per normal. I am so glad that they have both simply accepted that photos are a part of our daily lives and that it is easier to go with me than fight against me. And the chosen embellishments were just perfect for how this photo makes me feel and the moment it captures....
Until next time....
