While in Vancouver, and arguably the best adventure I had, I went whale watching. I was thrilled as we entered into the Straits of Georgia when I saw eagles and seals so you can image what I felt when the first Orca came in sight. I couldn't even breath when I saw it.
No matter how many pictures I took I wasn't able to capture their fluidity of movement and beauty. At one point a large Orca breached the water in that classic straight up position and I was so entranced I didn't take a picture. The ones I used on this layout however are some of my favourites.
As I mentioned, the layout is from the July Stick It Down double page sketch. There are also great single page and card layout on the site. Whatever your fancy there's a sketch for it. Be sure to link up your design. The link is active until the end of July.
When it comes to double page layouts I've already realized I need to get creative with paper. So often you need two of a paper vs. just one to create a double layout.
In this case I had two pieces of the red paper but one had the top corner cut into. I created a larger dark corner to compliment, cut a square out of the red from behind the blue I had mounted the photos on, and made a small corner to go on top of the blue, creating something a little unique. I do remember my Mom saying; "Necessity is the mother of invention.".
Don't forget to link up. I'm really looking forward to visiting your site and enjoying your creation.
What an exciting adventure and great fun page!
