once upon a time, i made this layout. well, ALMOST this layout. it was this page, version one. and i finished it and felt like it needed something. so i added some mist splotches. and then more. and then i decided that i hated it. SO. i carefully pulled everything i could off of the page. i cut the title block out of the background and layered it over some patterned paper. and then i started over. i kept the same design, but to take care of the "it needed something" feeling i added the doilies, the silhouetted accents and the background stamp. and in the end, i love it.
basic grey is doing a sketch challenge based on this page - i hope you'll stop by their blog to see the sketch + details. i'd love to see what you make!!
happy tuesday! the boys are all home again today... they're upstairs playing greek gods. yes. greek gods. that's what reading lots of percy jackson will do, lol. i think i'll sneak some time with my march studio calico kit before i drag them to trader joe's. ;)
