Progress might be a bit slow, but that doesn't mean I'm not loving my pictures and loving my pages from Shimelle's new class. I've managed a couple of layouts so far and this one is my favourite:
I used Shimelle's very clever combine-a portrait-photo-with-some-kind-of-landscape suggestion to make a page about The Tall One and the start of his GCSE exams, with a picture of the man himself and a photo I took to illustrate a post about exam weather. I think I'll be coming back to this idea again: it's such a good way of using up all those "what will I do with that one?" photos.
Hey, progress is progress. Who's to say what is slow or not? I like way this layout is well laid out, and the combo of papers - nice.
ReplyDeleteLovely page with a great choice of papers.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure that alarm clock saw a lot of use over the Summer exam series!
Love the portrait and still life pairing! It worked really well in this layout!
ReplyDeleteThe pairing works perfectly.... hope he's done well in them!
ReplyDeleteLoving the retro type papers for this layout!
ReplyDeletethe Tall one looks well cool in this picture, hope the GCSE's went well for him and he's having a well deserved rest
ReplyDeleteJo xxxx
Great layout and the photos go together so perfectly - I agree, it's a fine way to use the photos that we like but we're not quite sure what to use them for!
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to seeing your new header - how are those skies for you today? xx
Great layout, I love the papers,especially the tree one.It all works really well together x Is that stripy tape that 'Japanese 'tape?
ReplyDeleteYou're not alone in the slow progress stakes!!! I love this LO...the 'Tall One' looks like a rock star in this photo..very cool!!
ReplyDeleteI just love that tree paper - cool layout.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous page - I don't know what the class is but I love what you are doing with it :P
ReplyDeleteThank you for your comment on my C+P thingy - you've no idea how excited I was to get that email! Very. VERY.
Great layout - I'm not getting on very fast with this class, what with being on holiday last week and being at work this week and the weather being awful! Hope you carry on enjoying the class :)
ReplyDeleteI have loved this idea of Shimelle's! By the way .... how receptive is TTO to you taking photos now days? I'm wondering how many years I have left - the seven year old is still ok for the most part.
ReplyDeleteHope the exams are going well for the Tall One, bless him... Does he like your LO? I love your little journalling block and the things around it too.
ReplyDeleteLove it - it's particularly nice to see a layout of your boy. So Irish cool, eh?

lovely lovely layout Sian. So sophisticated and a lovely story. Abi xxx
ReplyDeleteOh my, look at that hair! But he does have a good excuse. At least it is all over now.
ReplyDeleteNice! That idea caught my eye as well as I was playing catch up & reading all 10 prompts last night! Too many classes but that's OK, it's nice how they wait. lol
ReplyDeleteIt's a great combination of photos and papers. I'm really liking this idea, but haven't come up with a good combo yet.
ReplyDeleteFantastic layout! I love your use of the patterned papers - I'm such a chicken - these look grand!
ReplyDeleteThe class sounds very interesting, and like everyone is probably telling you, move at your own speed - otherwise you won't enjoy it (said the stranger from bloggy land, lol)
I am loving the retro look of the supplies you used. Wonderful page!
