Over the past few weeks, I've been going back through the sketches from the BPC Double Take workshop that I took last fall. I have a ton of photos in my storage binders and knew that creating some double page layouts would help me clear some space for a huge batch of new photos I ordered recently. And it just so happens that I have a double page layout with my nieces all dressed up in their dance recital costumes to share with you today.
Robbie and I made the five and a half hour drive down the day of the recital and arrived at the theatre in time to snap some photos before the recital started. I had made flower balls for the girls and stuck them in cups filled with candy.
The girls were absolutely beautiful in their outfits and they each performed wonderfully that evening. My sister sent us their professional photos a few weeks later, and I love the way this sketch allowed me to combine my photos & these beautiful shots into a double page spread.
For today, hop on over to Sian's blog and check out more October stories.
lovey double page and nieces! Good idea to challenge yourself to get those pages out of the storage binders, look forward to seeing what you create.
ReplyDeleteOh, they do indeed look so beautiful! What stunning costumes - highloghted and emphasized so well with the gorgeous blue flowers on your page. A perfect way to interpret the theme.
