LOAD Day 1

Well I did it! My first layout of Load is done. I can already tell I am going to be creating in the evenings and perhaps having a few late nights. Now if only I had a DVR to record my favourite shows I would be all set. For the May LOAD it will be all about Defining my style. I am so excited to do this since I am not even sure what my style is.
For our first challenge we were supposed to create a layout that we love. Use photos we love, paper we love, embellishments we love...basically create something that we feel comfortable doing and not try and go outside of our boundaries. I seem to like doing the nice and easy layouts with not a lot on the page. I went through my scraps of paper and picked out some fun colourful scraps to go with my blue cardstock. I wanted to showcase the photos since I just love spending time with my family and especially love taking the kids to Niagara Falls every year. We always have a great time there. I cut circles out of my blue cardstock and placed the patterned paper under my cardstock and attached it with pop dots to create a bit of dimension. I also loved using the circle as my main embellisment. Simple but I think the patterned paper adds that pop to the page.

So here is my first layout of LOAD! YAY!!!!!!
