It's Wednesday!!!
Okay, normally Wednesday's don't make me that happy, but today is actually my Friday since I won't be in the office tomorrow, or the next day, or the next...or the next!
Yup, a 4-day weekend; taking some time off.
Today I share my latest layout.
It's for the "Memory Nest" Make It Monday Challenge.
The challenge was to use this sketch:
And here is my take on it:
"The Griswolds (Got Nothin' on us)"
Journaling: "David added roof lights this year"
Of course I know "The Griswolds" still have us beat, LOL, but I wanted to document the year David decided to add lights to our roof to go along w/ all the other outside Christmas decorations we already had. And since we always joke that one day our house will look like "The Griswold" house, I figured it would be funny to reference on this layout.
I really didn't care for the BG paper which has "Merry Christmas" written all over it in different languages. At least I think that's what it says! I also didn't care for the other side. But I didn't want to waste it so I figured if covered it up enough it would work.
And it did!
In fact it worked very well as the black BG w/ hints of color throughout mimic the pictures.
As always, love when things work out like that!
P.S. - Hope you know who "The Griswolds" are or my layout won't make any sense!
LOL!
Very cute. I love how you made one of the pennants a "present" :)
ReplyDeleteAwww thanks! But I can't take credit for that, it came that way!
DeleteLOVE your take on the sketch and the choices of patterned papers. Got to love the Griswold's - great title. Thanks for playing along with us Doreen!
ReplyDeleteThis would be a fun layout to replicate year after year as your house becomes more Griswoldy! (Griswoldish?)
