Today, I'm sharing another older layout from 2010 with you. This layout focuses on Kelsey's high school graduation.
Here, you can read the journaling.
Lol - look at the giant flowers and honking button that I included on this layout. I'd never do that today. I really like the K that I included on the left though as well as the layered mats behind the photo.
On the right, I have a card that Kelsey received and some more journaling. I'm sure she received more cards in this, but maybe this is the only one that I could find at the time of making the layout. I should probably look for more, actually.
On the pocket itself, I included another ginormous flower and button (really?!) and a 3-D Jolee's sticker. I know some people don't like those big stickers, but I love them even today - sorry not sorry.
And here's the finished layout - sorry about the flare from the page protector. I'd probably use a different paper today, even though I chose this one and the embellishments because Kelsey loves sunflowers. I don't really like the tone of these papers though I do like that I used strips of several different kinds on the pocket to the right. I probably wouldn't include that scalloped ribbon today and wouldn't have made a 2 page spread today either. Other than that, the actual design of the layout isn't much different from my style now. I do think the top of the right hand side seems awfully bare, so more embellishments or more patterns would fill that space now.
There you have it - another Throwback Thursday in the books! Are you enjoying this series? Should I continue it? I'd love to have some feedback from you about this!
I like seeing your older pages (as well as your newer ones) including any snark about past embellishment choices. ha, ha But you should post what makes you happy! I once bought a container of Heidi Swapp flowers that my Michael's had put on clearance and didn't realize until I got them home that they were about four inches in diameter. Holy oversized blooms, Batman! I think I did use some on a layout, put some others on gift tags, etc. I'd rather cluster smaller things, I think. I do still use buttons once in a while, but prefer smaller ones.
ReplyDeleteYes. Love seeing the layouts but also really love the deconstructing. How your choices would be the same or different toda, is so interesting. I think all long time scrappers gain so much insight from the reflection and evaluation of prior work!! I say keep it up!!
