About Me
I'm a 50+ yo mother of 19yo twin girls married to a wondrous Norwegian husband. We have a sweet, always-looking-for-attention, 6yo Portuguese Water Dog named Maji (Swahili for "water"). We love to travel the world, photography, read books, play tennis, hike, sail, play/coach field hockey, bike...really, anything outdoors.
Type of Project
Digital Scrapbook LayoutDescription
For our everyday scrapbook. AL and Maji.
For the WLM Not My Style layout challenge to step out of your normal layout style and create a layout that doesn't "belong" in your gallery.
I feel I have a traditional scrapbooking style that uses lots of layers and embellishments, multiple photos, journaling (almost always), and color photos (preferred). Though I like distressed and "freestyle/creative" type layouts, it's not as easy for me to design. I like to experiment with different styles but generally want my photos to be the center of attention, not the design.
And unlike my usual layouts, in this one, I used a large faded photo in the background, masked the smaller black & white photos, used a single background paper with a couple of overlays for a distressed/grunged up look and went with minimal embellishments.

Thanks, Teddy! Recently ran across this anonymous quote and it certainly seemed appropo.
Love the title!
Thanks, Bina and Becky! Yea, Becky, it just doesn't feel natural to me though I LOVE the really "messy" creative layouts. Ah well. To each her own, eh?
Your usual style and mine sound very similar. I struggle with the artsy freestyle stuff too! Nice results.
Fab look, Linda, love it!
