Beginnings and Endings

I love that I get to post on the blog right after the latest issue of Scraps of Color E:spire Magazine comes out! If you have not already, do yourself a favor and take a look at the fabulousness in the December/January issue. With each issue, I learn something new and I am just in awe of the talent!

Since we are days away from the beginning of a new year, I’ve been thinking of all the wonderful things in store for 2012. My husband and I are planning to do some traveling and my nephew is graduating from high school. He’s the oldest grandchild, so he’s the first one of my nieces and nephews to graduate. I will try to behave appropriately at the commencement, but I make no promises! I’m so proud of him and wanted to start working on layouts I’ll add to a book I will make for him.

This first one I’m sharing is using a classic school portrait, but incorporating some interesting elements to try to jazz it up. The title is playful and uses several different fonts. I like how it turned out:








The Places You’ll Go by Moanica Caston. Patterned Paper and Embellishments: American Crafts; Cardstock: Bazzill; Metal Brad: Bo Bunny; Alphas; American Crafts Thickers

2012 promises to be a wonderful year. Take a moment to think about some of the events/moments you want to capture and get it done!

Happy Crafting!

  6. Very well done. Your words convey your family pride. The layout you've created inspires one to incorporate embellishments to highlight what is usually a "blah" school picture. Enjoy your journey as the actual graduation date comes into view. Happy New Year! Again, what an outstanding layout!
