This was one of the drafts that I created for the invitation of my brother's birthday party. He has a big bash every year and like half the population of Singapore comes down to our house to see him. LOL. This year, because of the chaos that ensued in his first party, my stepmom is hosting his birthday at a restaurant.
Anyway, to keep up with the child-like theme of the party, I used Lorie & Kitty's Valentine kit, Blooming Sweethearts (available at SBG & OScraps). I couldn't find any photo of Lex that I really wanted to use so just to showcase the layout, I picked out one from our New Year reunion. The whole thing, layout and photo and all, was subsequently changed for printing coz my stepmom wanted a Disney-themed party.
This is the last layout I posted on DST and the photos were taken after our New Year family reunion. My mom had brought party masks for picture taking and us being the usual camwhores, greedily took over. LOL
I wanted to give a magical, kind of mysterious feel to these pictures, so I opted for a monochrome palette. I added the rose as a touch of color to the layout. This would be the first black and white layout I've done and I think I kind of really like the effect, but only for certain photos. I don't think all of my photos would suit this kind of effect, but for this specific set, it makes the pictures very striking. You can click on the photo to go to DST, where I've listed out the digi resources used for this layout.
And now, that's all for me. I'm going to take a rest this weekend. I'm out of my usual funk since yesterday. I'm supposed to go out to pick up some scrapbook materials and chocolate giveaway for a Valentine's project that I'm working on, but nothing doing. Hmm. Hope I'll be in a better mood tomorrow for work. Ugh.
