Egg dyeing is a lot of fun. I could have shared a page about that. I have oodles of photos. However, I have been working on photos of last year's Easter fair and figured I would share some of those. My son made a ton of crafts. My favourite was the sand art bottle. While I loved the bottle itself, what I loved more were the expressions my son made as he created his sand art. He was so serious as he measured and poured the sand.

As you can see, my colour for the hop was Orange. the vibrant colour was perfect to highlight the precise pouring action in the photos. Don't be afraid to go monochromatic with your pages. It makes paper choice and embellishing easy as you can choose a wide array of items in various shades of the same colour.
While butterflies might be a feminine embellishment( my son even asked why I had them on this page), I was able to slip them in here. I think of Spring when I see butterflies. Using them in the bright orange also made them less feminine. If you have a son, look for opportunities to use things like butterflies and flowers in symbolic terms on a page.
Now it's time to head off to the next blog in the hop. I am dyeing( pun intended) to see what Lorri has for us! So head on over to Lorri's blog to take a peek!
I love the misting idea! What a fabulous LO, Christy!
ReplyDeleteI love how you masked and misted the circles. And the orange butterfly print right next to the photo doesn't look feminine at all - in fact it's just a pattern until you look closer for that cool surprise. Great page (and love the expressions on his face!)
ReplyDeletewow, Christy!! what a stunning LO! I really love how you use mist - and the masking and misting effect is so fun! The orange goes so well with the fun photos!!
ReplyDeleteChristy, you made a beautiful and FUN page! :) I love how you clustered your photos together and painted around them with the orange. Your title is soooo cool! Great job! Thanks for playing :)
ReplyDeleteI love your misting! So reminiscent of egg dying!
ReplyDeleteI am a fan of misting & masks. I like the different masking shapes that you used. Of course, I like the butterflies also.
ReplyDeleteI love using orange with boy layouts too! And those butterflies are great!
ReplyDeleteOrange is such a challenging and fun color for me. Great job with it. I love the splatter paint look. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteYour LO is so cute and cheerful! I really like the misting and clustered design. And there must be boy butterflies so it's fine to use them on a guy's page.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing your great LO! :)
Love the misting and using orange was a great idea for this LO! Love the butterflies!
