Now We’re Rockin’ Week 3 layout – Pasta!

Posted by DeAnna Allan

I love this layout. I’m so glad I took this course. It’s really forcing me to do something with my photos that I wasn’t sure I wanted to do an actual paper layout with, but I still wanted to use them for something.

On our camping trip to Whidbey Island last year we stopped in Bellingham on our way home for dinner. Kyle wasn’t quite 1 yet but we’d been trying to get him to eat real food without too much success. Jarred food was what he wanted. Nope, no real food for Kyle. We decided to order the kids chicken and pasta with broccoli, figuring it wouldn’t be too big and hoping he would eat at least some of it. When it came to our table it was huge! Little did we know what Kyle would do next. Forget the spoon – he dug into the spaghetti with both hands. Some of it ended up in his lap and on the floor around him, but a great deal of it ended up in his mouth and on his face. It was incredible and horrifying to watch. He shovelled it in and after about 15 minutes most of the pasta was gone. He ate a bit of the chicken and touched none of the broccoli. When they took the plate away the broccoli was still in the perfect little bundle it came in. He stil won’t eat broccoli.

This layout is so cool. I love the filmstrip look, and how the main photo looks like it’s part of a slideshow. The other cool thing is how the photo in the bottom left fades into the background paper. My photo originally faced the opposite way (so Kyle would be looking off the page instead of toward the page). I didn’t like that since I think it draws your eye off the page when what we want is to draw your eye into the page. I flipped the image so Kyle is looking toward my journalling. I didn’t have any lettering or anything, so I didn’t have to worry about that when I flipped it. Anyway, here’s the layout:

I have to finish Week 4 by Monday when Digi In Deep begins! Yesterday was the PE Crop in support of breast cancer. It was a great day, even though I was away for a few hours in the afternoon. I managed to only get two layouts done but I am very happy with the way they turned out. I’ll scan them sometime this week and post them so you can all see. Tuesday is my final Course 2 cake decorating class so for the next two days I’ll be baking, icing and scrapbooking!
