Round 9 - Project Scrap Away

Whew!!! We're on our 9th round of Project Scrap Away!!! And Im so lucky I'm still in! This competition really gets the creative juices out - every drop of it haha!!! I really hope to make it till the end... but the competition is fierce... Im still with 5 more super talented scrappers!!! (Believe me, they are!!) But Neway, whatever the final results maybe be, Im still glad I made it this far. It was really a fun and nice experience to be in this contest.
Round 9's requirements was to look for your very first LO then take a pic of it then create a new LO base on it, "re-update" or "re-do" the LO again now that we have been scrapping for awhile.
Here was my entry...
Presenting... my very first layout!!!
My first LO was made around 1 1/2 years ago. It was very simple.... It was about my new born baby Harvey. I just use plain rectangles neatly arranged across the page... I used to love to mat pics with plain cardstock... now I'm not doing that anymore...My new LO has somehow evolved. I still used the same photos.. although i have the main picture bigger to give emphasis on the subject. I love to layer different pps, I love to tear and give it a distressed look. I also love to use chipboards - paint them, stamp on them... I dont use cardstock to mat my photos anymore... I just brush a little paint on the edges of my photos and im good to go! I also love to ink on everything - flowers, chipboard. I'm loving the new way of how I scrap... more bold colors and i feel more free doing it!"
