As soon as I opened my little box of goodies, i fell in love with the Echo Park alphas, and the old agenda page that is included in the Scrapbook kit. Trina is always adding that special piece to each kit.
If you have seen my work before, then you know that i kinda love to create beautiful messes as a background for my pictures; the Vicki Boutin Acrylic Pop Paints included in the Mixed Media kit are so easy to work with, and match the colors of the papers to a tee!
Well speaking of papers, I had a hard time deciding what papers to use in this page, so I chose to layer pieces from pretty much all the papers in the Skyland kit. I even used a left over piece from a paper (sneak peek time!) from a paper created with the digital PL cards from a project coming later in the month. The cuts in the paper give a little window to the mixed media in the background!.
My idea with this page was to document a picture (one of many) of my teenage kids playing in the little kids playground. It is a secret (well it was a secret) that they love to spend hours away playing in the swings, slide, etc., and always try to schedule our walks around the lunch hours when small kids are usually eating lunch. The best way to tell this story was to create the little slit on the background, conceal that gorgeous black and white Pinkfresh Studio paper in the background, and use the folding parts of the cardstock to mark the time on the agenda sheet. The large epoxy circle was just the perfect detail to document this story.
How fun are all the layers in this page! I really hope this serves as inspiration to break into your Skyland kits as soon as they arrive at your doorstep. I am not an enabler, but trust me you want to add a few of the add on kits to your order. They are so worth it.
As always please contact me if you have questions on how this came together. Remember to stop by the CTK Shop to check all this month's goodies.
