Let's Go Fly A Kite

I just loved this photo... though it wasn't a very good one. Fiddled with it a bit, made it black and white, and not so bad any more. Do you have a photo that speaks to you but isn't so great? Why not use it anyway and journal your thoughts.

I'm not sure why, but it just speaks of being little and being brother and sister and having good times together. Which is nice, as most of the time they're at each others throats.

Because I used a B&W photo these papers were perfect. Even more perfect were the red foil thickers, which I then spruced up a little (go check out the foil thickers thread for more on that).

Products Used
* Kaiser Craft - 12x12 Paper - Sakura Park - Hanami
* Kaiser Craft - 12x12 Paper - Sakura Park - Kanzan
* Kaiser Craft - 12x12 Paper - Sakura Park - Ukon
* Kaiser Craft Brads - Sakura Park
* American Crafts - Alphabet Foil Chipboard - Thickers - Tinsel Cherry
* Dimensional Magic
* Fancy Pants - Gliter Cuts - Tree
* Carolee's Creation - Cardstock Stickers - Tiny Ruby Red Aphas
Other: glitter, white gel pen

If you made it all the way down here you're a legend... Smile

I hope all of the above made sense... it's the first layout I've done since being home with Jos... so placenta brain still rules in this house. Let me know if you need more details on anything.

I can not delete photos for the same reason... Every now and then, one of those not quiet right photos is going to be perfect for the message you want to convey.

Awesome work Tara.
