Here is a fun idea from Teresa for some of your holiday photos.

I created interest on my page by using nested circle dies to create a concentric focus. By using foam mounting tape, I could tuck the photo into one of the layers, and mimic the layering that is present in the photo itself. I added some colour to the stark white by stamping little stars, flicking navy Distress Stain and then strategically placing blobs of gesso here and there. These blobs dried raised, adding extra dimension.

We took the children to their first ANZAC day dawn service and parade in Melbourne. This is a photo of Elouise proudly wearing her poppy. I printed the photo in black and white and coloured the poppy with a Distress Marker to highlight it a little. I also made my own poppy using the very versatile Rose Creations dies. The green twiggy foliage represents the rosemary that is used for remembrance. The red and white twine serves to link the photo area with the title at the bottom of the page. In keeping with the army theme, I added some hidden journaling on some tags to look like dog tags, and a piece of old page torn from a history book about the First World War.

We recently attended a wedding where they had a photobooth for the guests' entertainment. Oh boy did we have some fun with it! For this layout, I made a stencil with the Grateful Lattice die, and sponged some white paint through it. I then added spatters of pink and silver Glimmermist to complete the background. This all fits with the 'messy' mood of the photos. I cut away some of the edge with the zig-zag Edgeabilities die to leave me room for a little journaling.

This tiny photo needed some white space around it, or it would have been lost in the busy confetti of the patterned paper. Some tiny little die cuts were added over and around the focal point in order to carry the confetti theme throughout.
