90

Challenge #154 at Scrap Whispers this week was to make a page with two focal points - two groupings (one large and one small) with 'white' space in between them. 

I'm combining this with the mid-September sketch challenge from Stuck?! Sketches as it already has the two areas mapped out.

I picked photos from my husband's grandmother's 90th birthday in January, and decided to angle my layers a little, rather than the precision of the sketch.




My favourite thing about the page is actually the small flower circles. I had some old metal rimmed embellishments with flowers set in them, two purple and one orange, which have been sitting around for far too long. I punched new flowers, backed them with cream paper and topped them with clear epoxy circles. Now they match the page, and there is a certain sense of satisfaction in throwing away empty embellishment packaging.
