30 Days of Thanksgiving - Day 12

Day 12 – I am thankful for my Grandmother.  I find it heartwarming that no matter how old I am spending time with her, and being surrounded by her love, just makes life seem better.  She is my grandmother and I love her with all my heart!  I am so blessed that she loves me unconditionally beyond my flaws.  I love her laugh, her smile and her spunky personality! I am thankful that I have so many memories with her.

31 Studio J's in 31 days - Day 11

Switching gears, I thought I would share a fall layout today.  This is one that I created with the Dreamin' Paper collection.  I love the the fall colors!  My real struggle with using this patten with these particular pictures were the pink and yellows in Abby's dress.  They both looked adorable on the dress but somewhat clashed the colors in the paper pack making the accent colors of cardstock out of the question.  How I decided to resolve this obstacle was to take the B&T paper and tone it to Chocolate creating a more neutral pattern and it worked perfectly.  I was still able to use the pattern paper I chose and a coordinating paper that didn't clash with the dress.  The second obstacle, I love the picture of Abby laying in the leaves but didn't want to crop it down to fit the smaller horizontal picture spaces; so, what I did here was convert the original text box in the upper right corner of the right page into a photo box and the original space was perfect for my picture.  I then colored the embellishments in a bright orange/yellow to pull out the colors in the dress.  The layout design is:  Understudy.
