I took these pictures last year when my husband returned from his several month deployment overseas. I love some of the photos I got of my boys welcoming their Dada home.
In one of my quote books I found this quote about the perfect trip being a circle. I had already chosen the patterned paper because I wanted to pull from the green and blue colors in the photos. To fill the orange space below the quote I cut various circles with my Cricut.
I knew I wanted the photo on the left to be large. It is one of my favorites I have ever taken. So to balance that on the right I wanted to use several photos. To try something new I decided to download a template. I did have to search for some directions on how to use a template in Photoshop Elements. But it ended up being pretty easy. I covered the center square of the template with my journaling. My boys and I used a calendar to keep track of the days until Dada returned. To mark the start and end of Dada's deployment we used plane stickers. I wanted to carry those stickers over to my layout so I layered them on orange and blue paper to make them stand out.

ReplyDeleteMonica, I'm back because this layout is really good and I wanted to take a second look. Those kids were having so much fun!!!The hugs are so sweet. That's why I came back because the pictures were so great and I wanted to show my DH how great it was. Great work.
