Ellie Baptism 2019

 

Continuing on with our 2019 photobook, here is a two-page layout of my niece, Eleanor's, Baptism. She was Baptized at Saint Michael the Archangel Church in Cleveland, OH. We celebrated with a party at the Independence Place Party Center in N.Royalton, OH.

What's so special is the gown that she wore, has been in our family through 3 generations. We created a list of all who has worn it.

Working on my scrapbook (July 2010), and trying to catch up on some challenges on Splitcoaststampers.  This challenge DGSC090 - Recipe for Holiday Ads was to create a page like the Ad above, using these these features:

1. Your choice of colors and theme!
2. Try to use five photos (but you can use less/more if you want.)
3. Give your page an old fashioned or vintage look.
4. Your journaling block is on the left side.
5. Begin your Title with a flourish behind just one letter

Happy Harvest - SFF082412

 

I saw Allison Chilton's card on Pinterest, and fell in love with the design.  I decided to try creating a similar card with My Digital Studio software.  

I noticed my card layout followed the sketch on Sketch Frenzy Friday (SFF082412) blog too.

In tried to create an embossed-look in the background with the chicken wire stamp (same color as the background....whisper white, but played with the drop shadow....opacity to 85% and blur to -2).

I also cropped the ribbon (so that it only showed the overlapped part) and the sentiment (so that I could place it on one line instead of two).
