Day18: Grandparent's Day Page

Tonight I worked on a page of my daughter and her grandmother that was taken at school on Grandparents' Day. After going through my paper stash, I had 22 different papers I thought would work with the Make a Wish page. (I rarely do a "matching" two-page layout; I usually coordinate my papers. I guess I get bored with matchy-matchy!) I knew having an obsession with buying paper would pay off!! The perfect paper was among those 22!! This paper has a green background that looks really good with the green letters I used on the facing page. It has pink, gold, and white flowers, which play off the colors I used on the the Make a Wish page. The paper is from the White Out Collection by We R Memory Keepers and is called Hoopla-Merry. It looks like somebody spilled a bottle of "white out" all over the outside edges. I used pink (Heidi Grace Designs) and white letters (American Craft) to spell out Grandparents Day and the date. I also used a foam brush and spread some Mod Podge over the stickers so they wouldn't curl up (a hazard of being moved around several times). I really didn't embellish this page very much. I added a couple of flower brads and 2 small corners (Thickers). It seemed like it needed to be a little calmer because the opposite page has a lot going on.
