Just One

 Dora Phillips

I took a closer look at the beautiful layouts submitted by so many designers and what stood out was texture.  Flowers, rhinestones, felt, fabric, leather, ribbon--layers of the same color that allow subtle details to shine through.

After studying them, I was ready to dig in myself.  I had to stop myself from reaching for color again and again, but I did it!  I loved the challenge and I love the simplicity of the results.

 

Design notes: I wanted texture since I was not going to have patterns for this layout, so I pulled the top layer off of a piece of cardboard and spray painted it black.

Grammy's Guy by Dora Phillips.  Supplies:  Velvet Letters:  Pressed Petals, Bling:  Heidi Swapp, Kaiser, Die Cuts:  Sweetwater, Theresa Collins, Grommets:  We R Memory Keepers, Ribbon:  Maya Road, Other:  Cardboard, Spray Paint.

Journaling:  I see it when you and Grammy are side by side.  You look just like her.  The Allison genes run deep and you have them, my Zack.

 

 

Design notes: I'm monochromatic type of scrapper. I really love earth colors. For this layout, I printed a design brush on an acetate and put it on the side of my photo as accents. As for my title, I printed "Because of You" on an acetate using script font.

Because of You by Rowee Ortile.  Supplies: Paper:  Die Cuts With a View,  Me and my Big Ideas, Cardstock:  Bazzill, Tags:  K and Co, Flowers:  Prima, Other: Yarn, Rub ons, Acetates.

Hidden journaling: I know my life would forever change the day you were bor, but I never imagined how rich and beautiful it would become Being your mother is the best thing I have ever experienced. I smile more, I laugh more, and I have learned to cherish each moment with you. You have filled my life with so much joy and love. It is an honor to be your mother and spend each day watching you grow and learn. Know that I love you, my sweet little Rain, and that my life is forever better Because Of You.-Mommy.

 

Journaling: It's all about orange. Clothes, snacks, accessories...From the moment I held that crayon, I knew that orange would be my favorite hue.
