Here's what Chris has to say about this layout: 'I took this photo of my daughter Annaliese and my nephew Jack enjoying a bit of poetry from my husband a few months ago and I've been wanting to put it down onto a layout and didn't really know how I wanted to the page to come together.
That's where these sorts of challenges are perfect. When I saw the word prompt was 'listen' I thought of this photo and worked a title around it. I used quite a few different pattern papers from Crate Paper and some more from SEI and a little bit of Scenic Route thrown in for good measure! With some Hero Arts flowers and a combination of Crate Paper and Little Yellow Bicycle alphabet stickers the layout came together wonderfully!'
Caz combines 2 different companies paper rages to get the colour scheme for this weeks challenge, Heidi Swapp's World Traveller and Dream Dining Room, and Basic Grey's Granola. She cut out a few heart shaped templates and then randomly cut the hearts from different papers that complimented each other. All the edges were inked with brown ink to give them uniformity.
This is probably not the first colour scheme she would have chosen for this picture of her daughter and one of the Disney Fairies in Disneyland but the neutral background lets the bright colours of the fairy stand out. The sentiment also seemed to fit exactly as even though Caz's daughter is starting High School next year, she is one of those children that likes to hang onto little pieces of her childhood, including her belief in fairies.
And thanks to those few readers who have found time over the school holidays to continue the challenge – not many but we love the different interpretations of the colour palette.
