Blooming





This layout is about explaining Chloe's name. When I first took the photograph of Chloe with the daisy, I've actually never thought of doing a layout to explain her name.

The idea came to me when I've tried to get some inspirations by looking at the photograph for sometime. She is so adorable with that daisy on and the thought of she is as beautiful as the daisy, suddenly triggered me the idea that her name actually means blooming!

That's how the inspiration for the title came to me and with that title, I've thought of doing a page with more flowers and some blings to resembles how precious is she to me. The pearl in the middle of the daisy explains it all.
of daisies on the right hand upper corner of the layout and I've also add some blings to it too!

The process of creating this layout had been fun and I hope you all would give some of the techniques here a go!

  11. Hi Wil,

    Thank you so much for your compliments on my work! Actually I've been asked a few times about the issue of acid/lignin free. I've asked about the same questions to some pro scrappers all over and this is what I get. First yes...according to some pro scrappers...it is a must..but to the others, they say it is very debatable. First of all, if you were to say ALL acid/lignin free....then why are we using metal charms, brads etc...these are also non acid free....no metals are acid free....and they are very common in sb. Secondly, why are some pros doing minialbums, altering stuffs and even canvas or displaying in frames??? These aren't lignin free either.... so actually I'm also puzzled by this. Anyway, I've sort of come up with a principle of my own that is anything that touches the pic directly,I try to used acid/lignin free stuffs.....other than that, it would be fine...even if I'm using foils...I would always used a piece of acid/lignin paper or cardstock to paste on the back first before I put it on top of the pic.I hope this helps. Thanks again for checking out my blog. Hope you have a fabulous day and happy scrapping! Hugs!
