28_Favourite Botties

OK, I'm experimenting here with a minimum of flowers and no layers. Left me feeling totally naked and not very happy with the result, was all itching to start sticking down stuff but held my horses.

The evidence used are the circles that I have repeated over the page. The robots are in the photos.

My husband is an incurable hoarder and has a BIG box with his stash of old toys from his childhood. His absolute faves are his robots. Not the ones in the photo, they only serve as a visual reminder of the little boy that is hiding inside my man and who comes out when anything remotely technical pops up anywhere.

I also made two other pages for the same case file.

I agree with Sylvia, you really did step out of your comfort zone, but then, that is a good thing to do occasionally. I don't think you must have slept at all this week!!!   Cheers Di  xo

I would NEVER ever have guessed this was one of yours Eila dear! Ain't it just so rewarding and enjoyable to step out of your comfy zone? I totally see how you had to restrain yourself and not put all your goodies and romatic stuff on here. I love this too, sweet lady, everything you touch is turned into gold. mwah!

My goodness Eila, if I had not seen your name attached to this layout, I never would have guessed it was yours! So totally different from the ultra feminine, flowery pages we are used to seeing. I can understand how this page would feel "naked" to you. But look at the result, a fun layout that really makes you look closely at what's in the photos. Great job changing up your style :) Wish I could do the same.

Holy cow! I can't believe you made so many pages, and they are all awesome! Loce the clean graphic feel of your page that is so perfect for your story. Love the tiny title and the whimsy of that one inverted photo"

I love the asymmetrical criss crossing of the strips of paper

Love the repetition of the photo and that you placed one of them upside down! And the paper strips are awesome. I like this page a lot but then again, I love "less-is-more" :)
