Cousins ~ Gyspy circle challenge
This is a layout of me and my cousin/best friend taken when we were in high school in the 80's. We were the only girls (as of yet) in our families and we were very close. We still keep in touch today, but we live in different states and our lives are very different.
Our challenge was to use circles in our project. I welded these circles from the George Cartridge ~ one inside the other. Hint: I made one double circle first, then I copied it 6 times so they were all the same size. I welded them together. I added the letters from Ashlyn's Alphabet inside the circles in a fun pattern.
I finished the circle theme with a circle flower, some buttons and some larger circles to mat behind the photo. I wrote my journal around the edge of the larger circle. I added the red circle because I hate too much empty space!! I will add more journal notes here or a smaller picture.
Love the background paper & the bright colors. Who makes the background paper?
ReplyDeleteWe Are Memory Keepers makes the paper. It is called White Out and I found it at Michaels.
ReplyDeleteLori, what a pretty layout! And how thoughtful of you too! I love the paper too and I'll be looking for it when I go to Michael's -- TFS! It's nice you guys keep in touch, I've lost contact with so many friends I went to school with.
