my, oh my, Happy September to you. It is a very happy day around here. For me anyway. It's the first day of school! I'll take those early mornings in exchange or a bit of routine for all of us. Oh, a new month also means a new challenge at Picture This.  This challenge is :

2 photos + green + white + black

I think I'll do a Halloween page. I LOVE Halloween. Really. And I love scrapping the photos even more. Bright colors, creepy critters, silly critters, but always smiling faces.  All of those can be mixed together as I've done here. Spider webs? Creepy. Monsters with mustaches? Silly. Photos? Definitely happy. Bright colors mixed into the green, black and white? Easily done. 

My parents came for a visit and got to experience Halloween in all the ways, school parties and parades as well as Trick or Treating. I'm not sure who enjoyed this more, my son or my parents. Regardless, these are the first of several pages of this particular Halloween. 

Thanks for stopping by my creative view today. I'm starting this month off with a bang. There will be much more coming along this month. one back again soon

Water Play

Hello, Hello! I'm back with another creation that I think is super cool!  Today I am sharing another page created for Get it Scrapped. The assignment? Water Play.  I pondered this idea for only a moment. Beach? Maybe. Pool..Oh Pool! I have a swimmer!

In these photos, my son is racing the 100M Butterfly at a recent swim meet.  

The title is a play on words. It's something I like to do in my titles.  I had never seen him swim this race so well and so fast. He really was "fly-ing".  I chose to use colors and products that are motivating for an important event, rather than swim or water themed products.

Everything on the page has purpose and intent. The blue paper has silver 'bubble' like print. vellum with dots, wave print tape, motivational sayings, silver paper, paint drops, blue vellum title and paint drops. All to push the idea of the swimmer in the water.
