My first snag! As i work on adding the finishing touches to the spreads I have batched (I am working five spreads per batch), I ran into problems with the previous spread and am happy to say that for the first time...I just walked away! Old me would have spent hours grinding over all the pieces that just won't get together, working myself into a self-lacerating frenzy. New me says "see ya later, alligator." I will return to that spread of course, hopefully when I am refreshed. Mindset really is important in storytelling on this scale.
These are simple layouts, designed to get the story told and into the album. Period. I'm using several different FotoInspired Template Packs because they work together so seamlessly, and every now and then I am throwing in a Scenic Template when opportunity arises. Texture and color on this spread come from the transfers in the Bespoke Artplay Palette. The main work here was getting the yellow from the shell on the right page to travel across the spread, which I did with a transfer from the APP. I also recolored the stitching but will probably revert back to black. I find I am not liking the colored effect. I don't love this spread but it fits my "good enough" philosophy, and I do plan to return to fine-tune all my work when the book is done.
