this is so amazing.... visually is gorgeous, (as you do always, I just don't have the health to come to the gallery much, but I know you well and your pages are stand outs, constantly) I am a huge fan of big photos and even more of blending into a whole page like this, perfectly done and with such a n emotional charge that rises feelings... to me, this is the distinction between just scrapping pages and becoming an artist.....which you very much so, are.
Love the beauty of the blending, the sift color background is perfect for the painted elements, and these are so very well chosen and there is that feeling represented ion the whole thing that made me want to know what the subject was.... I had to zoom in a lot, first I thought maybe we weren't meant to read , but then I saw the font isn;t too difficult to read and, if you didn;t want us to, you would have hide in some way...so I tried. It was exactly the feeling I had just by seeing the whole page...meaning you have achieved to convey those feelings visually which, to me, is a talent not everyone has.... the detail of how the little word strip is, the shadows there and in that strip of paper are fabulous and give the whole page dissension, the choice of not adding more is perfect.... this is absolutely amazing, in that crucial way that art in general, but scrapbooking I se it so often, we are able to take not so good events and transform them into beautiful art pieces that have a part of our heart.....
@MrsPeel wow. Thank you for your in depth comment. It means a lot! <3
You of course are welcome to read the journaling. Actually on this layout I debated for a bit with myself, if I want to make it readable. It is very personal and somehow also vague at the same time but it conveys a lot of the emotion that comes with the story and the photo and also the layout. So to make sense I had to leave it there.
I put a lot of thought and detail work into my layouts and I'm happy that you can see it. It's my outlet for my emotions that sometimes overwhelm me and I'm not good at journaling by hand but scrapping comes pretty close and also easy for me.
As for the artist, I only came to the conclusion last year, that I'm an artist. I used to say "I'm scrapping" but I became aware that most of my life is embellished by my creativity and I'm an artist through and through.
Thank you again, it really means a lot and I will "chew" through your comment in the coming days, to take it in even further <3
Also thank you for your Froggy Fave. <3 <3 <3
