4 Generations

Hi everyone.
I have a bunch of scrap challenges to share with you, to start I share a layout based on the sketch challenge over at ScrapFriends for the month of June.


It was one of those times when I saw the sketch and instantly knew the photos to use, mainly because of the thin photo space to the left. Even though I still struggle for quite a while to produce the page.

4 Generations


The photos are of the 4 generations of woman in my family the first time we got together. Chloe is a mere 6 weeks old here and was a little milk drunk for the photos...
I've started to love misting and this page features misted hearts in the background and also a 4 as the title was going to be too long otherwise.


I tried to keep an older look to the page with the brown mist and lots of tearing. The teared paper at the top and bottom is the same paper as the background unmisted and flipped, when I was tearing one of them ripped which annoyed me a first but I think the staples fit in well and also serves another important role. Holding the hidden tag so it doesn't get lost.
The tag has a photo of an empty chair as that nothing goes to plan with a baby...

  1. Looks fantastic Nicole. Great photographer I believe!! I wouldn't have noticed the staples if you hadn't said anything. I think they look like they're meant to be there. XXX
