Monday layout
06 April 2009
I took this photo last summer one very foggy morning on the beach in Maine. Noah and I had gone down at low tide around 9am, and the fog was so thick I couldn't see him 3 feet in front of me. It was so beautiful, if you like that kind of thing. ;p I grew up in New Brunswick on the beach, and I spent my childhood in very foggy weather like this, so I was immediately reminded of home. It was fun, and he was fascinated by it. Got some great shots of him too that I still need to scrap.
Anyhoo, I took this pic of my friend and her kids meeting us on the beach a while later that morning as the sun came out and started to burn off the fog. I love how you barely see Mom coming out of the fog and how they're all staggered in the photo. She's not really a scrapbooker ( she journals with pics, and that's about it- no product) but I know she'll love having this layout as an addition to her photo album. I kept it simple for that reason, but I'm thinking it needs something added to it, like maybe a rub-on or something on the photo? Suggestions are welcome. :)
Ok folks, I'm off to clean my scrap table and find some goodies for that give-away. I know, it's taking me forever, but I will get around to it, promise! And I need to put up a new header too- this one is way past due.
have a great Monday!

I love it as it is. Simple & lovely! That picture is just amazing.
Love it. It's got a mystic feel to it. Love Maine. I'm going there this Friday for Easter. It's my home away from home.
this is so gorgeous, mel!
i think it is perfect!
you are amazing!
Wow! Great picture! I love the eeiry feeling to it. And I wouldn't add anything to it. It's gorgeous the way it is. :)
I love it... the beauty is in its simplicity. The only thing I might add is a simple brad (the same teal colour as the flower) to the left side of the one-line journalling. Even if you just reprint the journalling with a coloured bullet there, it'd add a touch of teal to that side of the page and finish off the visual triangle. :)
Good luck with the cleaning! ;)
what an amazing photo and layout! i had no idea you grew up in nb!

Im with Nicole...LEAVE IT!! Its perfect. What a brilliant photo. And love the new header too.
i wouldn't add a thing, it's gorgeous, mel, just the way it always is!
I love how understated this page is, and I agree with Barb that a teal-colored brad to the left of the journalling would finish it right off.

Oooooh Mel, I love your new banner! I went to look for our crocuses last week but soon discovered that a hungry bunny had eaten all the leaves and stems... and left me the flowers. *sigh*
WOW! As always you get right to the essentials! This picture is so beautiful, the frozen motion... And all the other things are just where they should be! Love your new banner!
