Since I was short on time this morning, I grabbed my JBS mercantile kit. It made it very easy to create a layout in about an hour. It's a little hard to see, but I did stitch a square around the canvas before layering my embellishments on top.

Today's prompt was all about goals. Originally, I had intended to use this photo expressly for PL2013. Then, I had the wonderful idea to use it in a succession showing how my son's video game programming skills are developing. I decided that it would also be a perfect way for me to document my support for my son's dreams. This is one of the wonderful things about Layout a Day...it makes you see other story telling opportunities.
So what's the moral of the story today? Simply put, it's ok to scraplift a design you like again and again. It's also perfectly wonderful to use one photo several times on different projects. There is always more than one side to a story. As far as today's design, you can expect to see several more variations soon. I used it on a layout for Scrapbook News and Review magazine and on another for Get It Scrapped.

Love how you created the sketch and then used it for your new layout Christy!! And I love your title!!
ReplyDeleteGreat layouts! Love how kits and sketches can help me out when I am kind of pressed for time. Also, it's nice to meet a fellow LOADster. I am not playing this round, but love the LOAD challenge. Thanks for laying with us in the About A Boy challenge.
ReplyDeleteReally awesome layouts! Love all the elements you used in both =) Thanks for playing along with us at About A Boy!
ReplyDeleteI like the concept "Scraplift yourself" and I think it would be great for us all - as you said why not use the same photo over and over again or the same design! Lovely take on the challenge, thanks for playing with us at About a Boy!
ReplyDeleteChristy this is so striking! I love how different it is from your first LO. The title is incredible. Glad you came over to AAB
ReplyDeleteBoth pages are awesome. I've never thought of scraplifting from myself! What a great idea :) Thanks for playing along with AAB
