Say Cheese!

I have been about to pop, waiting to share today's layout for the Representational Motif article at Get It Scrapped!  I have to say, that it's my favorite layout that I've done so far for one of our assignments, and this was a fun one.  Representational Motif can be used on your pages to add texture and interest, and it usually gives a clue to the theme behind your layout.  

I love taking photos of my kids, and even though they are pretty good about it...most of the time, there are those other times, that I never know what kind of pose/face I might get!!  When thinking of the design of this page, I wanted it to be more about the results of taking the photos, rather than the event or where we were at the time.  I loved that I had one adorable, smiley photo and then another silly photo, in the same pose.  There was a great Camera patterned paper included in the Studio Calico Murray Hill kit, that I wanted to use for this page. I debated using the sheet as is, but then decided to fussy cut several of the Cameras and then arrange them under my photos.  I spread the fussy cut Cameras out, to leave room for Wood Veneer Cameras and enamel dots, which added some texture to my page.  I loved working with the Camera motif, because it immediately gives you an idea as to the theme of the page and it was a great pattern to mix with other colors and patterns.
