Fresh Look #7 - Four Generations

Time for another fresh look feature - yay! As the holiday season approaches, I’m thinking about family….and that’s what drew me to this layout by Heidi2008

image

Let’s see what the team was inspired to come up with for this one.

First up is Linda - I just love what she did to make the photo look aged, and the details she added just bring a beautifully classic feel to this page.


image
Supplies: Stitched Labels, Bookplate Notes, Stitched by Anna Brown No.1, Worn Photo Edges No.2, Worn Strips No.2, Cozy Crochet, and Botanical Fusion Paper Pack and Embellishments (coming soon)

Next is Debi’s fresh look - I just love the use of white space and that metal accent is awesome!

image
Supplies: Naturally Krafty Paper Pack, Naturally Krafty 02 Paper Pack, Aged Perfection Paper Pack, In the Post Kit, Gloriously Paper Pack, Staple Its! No.2, and Cherished Moment LT (coming soon)

And finally - my fresh look layout. Heidi had some wonderful journaling on her original page, but I decided to go with a quote that I found about generations.

image
Supplies: New Growth Brushes-n-Stamps No.3, Vintage Photo Frames No.12, Autumn Glory Kit, and Softly Patterned Autumn Paper Pack


I know I say it every time - but it’s just so fun to see what everyone does to give the original layout a fresh look. If you’d like a fresh look for one of your pages, post a link at THIS THREAD. Have a great weekend everyone!

A very fun page - let’s see what our CT did to give it a fresh look…

Fresh Look #1 - “So Silly”

Our very first Fresh Look - yay! The team has been working on some fresh looks for pages you have submitted. Our very first fresh look is for this original layout by ‘cheekymonkey’ called “So Silly”

We have several fresh looks for this sweet layout - let’s get right to it!

Maureen said: “I thought the original layout was very sweet. I know Christine said it didn’t come out as planned so I tried to think of what made her unsatisfied with this layout.  I decided to try to change the layout from monochromatic (which usually evokes peaceful, serene feelings) to have some contrast.  My goal was to try to make a happy, playful feel on the layout with the use of contrasting colors, asymmetry and fun circles
