Would you like to see a traditional scrapbook page done in an "artsy" style? Anna's team has challenged folks to take a previous page in a traditional style and redo it using Anna's methods. I chose a page that I really love from the ending days at D-P when we were all scrapping cows for Nelleke. I used
Retro Designs, mostly the kit Scraps of Memories. It is elegant and very fitting for this heritage topic.
Still, I was sure these bovines would enjoy a romp in a different setting as well. I kept the photos about the same but went to town with the artsy goodies. I also left out the humorous comment and covered up the little images of then avatar "Sandy" (only old-timers from D-P will know what that's about). I think the result is just about as much fun and certainly a different look.

Love your humorous journaling about the cows. Great artsy makeover, Jean!
ReplyDeleteYour makeover is quite a change in style and those splashes certainly remind me of the dangers of walking through a field of cows wearing good shoes! I remember the original and how it came about but the reference to "Sandy" completely baffles me...
ReplyDeleteOh...I like them both. I am always in awe of anyone who can create such wonderful layers using many different papers which you achieved in the traditional LO. It definitely has a "heritage" and somewhat serious feel to it even with the lighthearted journaling. The "artsy" one is very light and airy and I love the fun font used for the word "heritage"! Two different and yet equally wonderful outcomes achieved with these photos.
ReplyDeleteSomething seems vaguely familiar about the Sandy reference, but guess I have slept many night since way back when. Boy, my memory is not what it used to be.
For a refresher on "Sandy" see the latest post!
