i had printed these photos out as a maybe, and when i saw the "hop" block on one of the yearbook papers, i knew they had to be scrapped! for the journaling block, i added some confetti to a vellum envelope, then journaled on a tag and stitched it into the pocket. the tab along the side of the page is actually a handbook insert - i used it to the words cut with my cameo as well.. and the arrows are a mix of one of the trendspotting exclusive cuts and an old fiskars arrow punch.
i love this photo. more than love love it. it just totally captures the feeling of sitting on that dock and watching the boys jump off over and over and over. the neutrals in classic calico were a perfect way to showcase it - but i did add a little color with some paper from yearbook and some buttercup & sherbet mist over the hexagon mask. the elongated hexagons are misted with mint julep and shine.
90% of the photos that i scrap are "as it happens" photos... but these were posed. i reeeeeeeeeally wanted pics of alex and his guitar - but he practices in the basement. these stairs alongside our elementary school were a perfect place to grab a few photos of him - and they worked perfectly with yearbook. i used the hex mask again here - this time with shine and clay. i also sprayed the mistable elongated hexagons with sherbet.
and my handbook. unfortunately, the albums didn't arrive in time, so i used the inserts and page protectors to make a little book. i'm filling this one with all sorts of summer favorites. project life and my divide & conquer album have made me fall in love with pocket page protectors, and i'm thrilled to see studio calico jumping into that arena. i'm debating doing my project life in this size next year. after two years, it might be fun to switch things up. i just need to decide if i can edit myself that much!
happy thursday!!! we're in the middle of some crazy hot weather.. the high is supposed to be 102 today. i'm thinking the pool is the way to go. hope it's cooler where you are!
