LG Belarmino - Let Her Grow


For this particular challenge, I was inspired to use earthtone colors to signify Mother Earth. I have even edited my photos to add a more vintage feel to it. They are taken a few weeks ago but I made them look as if it was older and aging.

REDUCE - I have used a beige cardstock (1 CS) and BasicGrey's Archaic pp (1PP) as a requirement to this challenge. I made a semi-negative space layout to incorporate white space to it. I have also limited my use of embellishments to a felt flower, Bobunny rubons, ribbon and beads.

By using only one pp (not doublesided), I decided to apply a paper technique, PAPER ROLLING, to add depth and dimension to my layout. I just thought this will be quite different from what others will do to their pp

REUSE - for this particular requirement, I reused the Butterfly Sticker by applying a masking technique on my cardstock before adhering the exact butterfly sticker to my layout. You will notice that the sticker was already transformed into a different color due to the ink but worked perfectly well with the color combination I chose to use.

RECYCLED - I have recycled the plastic container packaging (We R Memory Keepers Flower packaging) by using it as my photo frames, not only a photo frame but a photo shaker frame. I added beads on it to make my layout more fun and playful.

JOURNALING:
As you GROW into what you will be
You came from within, from just beneath my HEART
It's there you'll always be though your own LIFE will now start
You're growing so fast it sends me awhirl
With misty eyes I ask, where's my little BABY?
