29 -Sommarens Topp 5

Oh, isn't this case just fabulously fresh and fruity! It's just perfect for all those summer Los I need (and want) to scrap. :)

I have lately discovered that I use less and less of patterned papers and I really don't like seeing that stash untouched, so I challenged myself to use pp on all LOs (in a small amount al least).

It was just after I already finished the case that I realized the background paper with the clouds is actually Echo Park! It had been sitting there for some time and I always loved it, but my DD (in the LO) had improved it by doodling in the middle. However I love working under some kind of restriction (like challenges) and the doodles meant I had to design the page accordingly.

Lets get to the facts:

Evidence: stripes, rolled paper, label.

Testimony: Top 10 list (well almost...)
Document a summer story.
Journal on strips (not very long, but anyway...).

The title translates -The top 5 of summer according to Alice
And the journalling -1. Strawberries 2. Swimming 3. Strawberries 4. Strawberries 5. Strawberries

To really make the strawberries pop in the shot I edited it to make everything else b/w and gave it a tint to match the case colours. Just a very small amount of yellow.

I so loved working with this case. I will probably come back to these colours over and over again.

TFL and happy scrapping everyone!

xoxo
Sylvia

Comment by Anna-Karin on July 25, 2012 at 12:38pm: Fantastic layout and photo edit! Love the list and the rolled paper strips. Like you, I find myself using less and less patterned paper, on this layout you really let the patterned paper shine.

Vad synd att jordgubbssäsongen är över i princip!

Comment by Sara Bohl on July 23, 2012 at 1:49am: I like the manipulation of your photo and I agree with Alice about the strawberries. Like how you worked around the challenge. It always makes me feel good when I can work around a problem with a page. Sometimes it works out better than the original plan. Very pretty page.

Comment by Debbi Tehrani on July 22, 2012 at 8:14pm: So striking what you've done with the photo, Sylvia! Love the cloud paper as a backdrop and your fun journaling, and I absolutely adore those paper curls above the picture!
