Review Parade Layout

Today I worked on a traditional layout for one of the "donation" albums. I had no idea where this page was headed when I started working on it, and I am pleased with the way it turned out; especially, because I had no final goal for it! :)

The photo doesn't really do the colors much justice. I used some older papers and colors that I have had in my stash for a long time.

Material List

Stampin Up Card Stock - Real Red, Tempting Turquoise, Kiwi Kiss

Cuttlebug Embossing Folders - Spots & Dots, Swiss Dots, Tiny Bubbles

SCAL Shapes File - Circle, Square

1/4" Brads

Misc Craft ribbon from my stash

MME Magnolia DP

Stampin Up ink - Tempting Turquoise, Kiwi Kiss

Sponge Daubers

Cuttlebug

Cricut Expression
Photoshop Elements 8

For the photo in the lower right corner I used a Gradient Map to make the photo black & white. Then I used a brush tool to "erase" the b & w on the areas where I wanted full color. 

Thanks for looking at my blog! Enjoy!
