You & Me
I love the symmetry and continuity of the photos - specifically how Hanna and her grandparents are all facing forward in one of the photos and also had their backs to the camera in the other photo so you got the effect of them coming and going. This symmetry is also present in how there is a photo of Hanna with each grandparent.
I also love how Rach added green crystals to the center of the flowers printed on the brown paper - so pretty. And these patterned papers (pp) are truly gorgeous.
Neighbors
This layout held a lot of meaning to Rach and holds the story of a beloved jacket. Lots of deliberation went into choosing just the right fabric swatches and I love how they match the green jacket and the lettering in "neighbors". Rach tied the elements in the page together by mirroring the shape of the large die-cut frame to the journaling tag and by adding just a touch of pink floss to bring out the color in the top her mom was wearing.
I love them both, Rach. You are truly gifted.
Rachael - how did I miss these when you posted them months ago? I have no idea. These layouts are so adorable! I love the color scheme (green and blue, especially together, are a favorite for me).
ReplyDeleteI have been wanting to explore with sewing on layouts. I love the cozy feeling your quilt patches add here. A nice way to get embellishments.
Your photos for the "You and Me" layout are priceless. I love the fact that you are taking so many photos of Hannah as she grows - and then sharing them with us here. I haven't even met her, but I feel like I know her.
These layouts are great. Thank you for sharing them!
