Katey Green

I love summer, especially spending time in faraway places. That was in my mind when I discovered I had August’s kit to design for ScrapStreet.  Reminiscent of the rich, deep colors from around the Agean Seas.  Think of submerged tiled floors, treasure chests, the blues, browns and greens of the sea, and the yellows of the sun beating down on terracotta-tiled roofs.  Mmm, I can almost feel the breeze!  Suitable for many styles of layouts as we shall see from our team.

 

Design note:  Sometimes you have the picture, but part of it is not the right color.  In this case I changed the color of the dress to better suit the colors of the papers.  The "Fish" title is overlaid with other papers from the kit and then outlined.

Design note:

I wanted the focus of this layout to be solely about the boys. They lived next door to one another for four years until both of us moved. When we got together a year later, they picked up right where they left off.  To highlight the photo I used the colorful sequin frame on the dark earthy background.

Design note: 

I really tried to make this layout look as though it had a lot of depth to it, as if it really were nailed to the wood (well, paper)!  By using some mats I made from the papers and altering the shadows I think it worked quite well, almost paper-like!
