Rachel Jefferies-Mixed Media Challenge-June-A Chance Of Hope

*So Much Inspiration To Choose From For This Scraplift!...It Took Me Quite Awhile To Go Through The Gallery Of Fantastic! Pages!...I Went Awhile Down The Page & Found This One By Cinderella ...[Not The First Time I Have Been Inspired By One Of Her Layouts & Have Scraplifted...]...Cinderella's Layout Is Called:Clouds...Here's A Link To It:

*Aptly Named For Sure!...I Was Absolutely Drawn By Those Wonderful Cloud Photos!...I Was Kind Of Leaning Towards Wanting To Do Something To Do With The Sky &/Or Clouds & When I Saw Those Fluffy Clouds!...I Knew This Was The One...But There Is So Much More Here To Love...All That Texture To Start With!...Yes!...I Love! Texture! & There Is Lots Of That In My Layout Too!...The Repetitive Use Of Circles! & Scatter!...Yes!...I Added Circles & Scatter Too!...The "Black Piece"...I Added That Too!...Cinderella Has Thread!...I Added That Too!...The "Grey & Black" Paper Piece Towards The Left Upper Corner...I Mimicked That With My Black & Grey Photo!...The Graphic Text On Paper!...I Added That Too!...Black Lines!...Me Too!...Lots Of Paper Pieces!...Me Too!...Heart!...Me Too!...I Really Loved The Mix Of Colors Here Too!...Different Shades Of Blue/Teal...But Mostly For Me...The Purple/Pink Flowers In The Left Corner!...That Color Became The Star In My Layout! Mixed With Lots Of Those Shades Of Blue!...I Added The Red & Yellow To Contrast With All The Blue & Purple!...Yellow Stars With Blue Always Remind Me Of "The Lone Star State"...A Play On Words Of Sorts...[At Least In My Mind...]..."Lone"...Lonely" In Context With The Layout...But Yellow Is Also A Bright! & Happy Color!...That Radiates "Sunshine" ...[Complete Opposite Meanings...]...& The Underlying Theme Of My Layout...HOPE!!!...The Other Stars Are Darker/Moodier/More Complex In Thought & Meaning...[Fits With The "Cloudy" Moodier Theme...]...But Also Representing You As A "Star" In Your Own Life...& Having The Strength To Endure Through The Darker Times...& Emerge Out On The Other Side Of "Hope" Light & Positivity...Red Has All Kinds Of Connotations...So...I'll Leave Those Up To You To Decide The Meaning!...But The Scatter Is In A Circle-Like Shape...So It Fits With The Original Layout's Use Of Circles....Very Well...I Used A Darker Color Palette To Exhibit My Theme Of "Cloudy Days"...& Darker But "Bright" Elements...Mixed With The Black & White Words & Paper Pieces...That Is Prominent In Cinderella's Wonderful Layout...Ultimately In The End...I Ended Up Using Rachel's Element "Clouds" Instead Of Real Cloud Photos...[Which I Started Out With...& A Completely Different Layout Design...But Creativity & Process Changed The Original Design Into The Design You See Here As The Final Result...]...And Rachel's Moody Clouds Were The Perfect Solution For Me...& The Perfect Element To Complete My Layout's "Cloudy" Theme...
