Paris

Paris... nothing needs to be said. But lets explain the layout as an example.  Again, this is a double spread I use when teaching.  The background pages are not identical; however, they have the same color hue and this allows for the combination to work well together.  The diagonal and overlapping pictures of the Eiffel Tower are single matted, this emphasizes the fact that ts is the same subject and ties with the printed image on the paper.  The picture on the upper left was taken at night so a double mat was used to isolate it within the arrangement.   The second page shows other scenes, all matted with the same colors.  To create something unexpected, I tore the edges of the focus picture, attached a garter, a charm and slanted the  picture.  Using the Cricut created a tag with 'je t'aime' in black and threaded a street light and flag through it.  To break the vertical lines, it was adhered on a slant with foam squares.  To complete the layout, I used many small embellishments, related stickers, cutouts on pop dots, tied narrow red ribbons here and there... and stamped 'Oooh la-la!' below the garter.  The final touch was to label the scenes with a Dymo in black.  Paris, je voux retourner...
