I thought I'd try my hand at something a little different and do a scrapbook page. I'm not much of a scrapper, but I love this photo snapped poolside of my handsome husband and wanted to profile it in my office somehow.

| I have the toughest time with light and capturing accurate colors! Honestly these were all the colors from the challenge, not peach, brown, and lime green! |
 |
| Grunge board hinges are combos of Forest Moss, Shabby Shutters & Vintage Photo Distress Inks. Viva Decor Pearl Pen in Bronze. |
 |
| I gesso'd my grungeboard pieces and then inked them up so they'd take the colors more "true." |
 |
| Pin says "Keepsake." So fitting for my feelings about the photo subject! |
 |
| As you can tell I went all kinds of happy using Tim Holtz products. I've had these sprockets and game spinners forever, just now using them! |

| The paper was much more pinky-red, so I used a direct-to-paper approach with distress inks and Pearl Poppy Memento ink. Photo edited in PSE9 and Perfect Effects 3. |
I didn't use a sketch or anything for this layout -and I didn't even use my cricut! I can hardly believe I accomplished this without either one. But I've hoarded these TH products for such a long time, it was so much fun to put it all on one project!
I'm not sure how effective the design here is, but I had fun all the same and will happily put this up in a frame above my desk.
Thanks for stopping by and taking a look!

Great job on your layout and kudos to you for using some of those embellishments that we all tend to hoard! Thanks for your kind comment on my blog - I did draw the face then painted and embossed it - no stamps.
Hi Bernadet, nice to meet you! What a beautiful LO and even more special because it has such special meaning to you. My wine country is the Rhine River valley. And yours?
Gorgeous work. A piece of art! So very regal and stunning. Love having you with us at The Play Date Cafe! :)
I love the painted look to this! Very pretty! Thanks for playing along at The Play Date Cafe!
