My Little Fish

I had a scrapbooking day with a girlfriend yesterday. Always good when I need some inspiration. I had some photos from my son's swimming lessons last year that I wanted to scrap. Blue was an obvious colour choice as my theme, but which blue??? I decided on Blue Bayou from the current In Colour range and built my page from there. The DS paper is from fall flowers (pg 134). I have then used my Big Pieces (pg 88) and Little Pieces (pg 88) to create my embellishments. I have stamped in blue bayou, soft sky & old olive and then used my 1 3/8"& 3/4" punches, which saves alot of time cutting out and ensures perfect circles everytime. I have mounted the circles using double sided tape & stampin' dimensionals to give add depth to the page. The title I have used Headline Alphabet(retired) and stamped in versamark ink onto River Rock cardstock. I did have to cut these letters out by hand, which was the most time consuming part of the whole project. I then outlined the letters using my white gel pen. Lastly I have used my microsoft word program to write some phrases regarding the photos and printed straight onto my whisper white cardstock. Let me know what you think.
