We dont have trees in our yard that my dd could climb, so when visiting my parents in Alabama, my dd was determined to do some tree climbing. I love how much fun she had trying to figure out how to get up into the tree she laughed and giggled through it all! Glad I had my camera.
Journaling reads: When I pointed out just how wonderful the two pecan trees were in front of Grandma & Papas house, Rachel decided she had to climb one. It was, however, easier said than done. She tried a number of times before she figured out the best approach, but finally figured out how to hoist herself up without killing herself, giggling as she do so.
After seeing just how high she could climb, she found a comfortable spot to enjoy the day and read a bit. When Papa noticed her in the tree, he told her how silly she was to have climbed it, and wondered how on earth she was going to get down. Rachel found her foothold, and in one jump she was down. It was fun to see them laughing about it.

The Process: I began with of Annas new FotoInspired DoubleTemplate. Because of the photos I wanted to use, I changed the orientation of the template. I placed two ArtsyKardz to be used for journaling, applying shadows to them. The third ArtsyKard was attached to the center fotomask of the template. I applied a neutral Weathered Neutral paper for the template background, added the epoxy brad, and work strips. At this point I decided to reduce the scale of the entire layout, allowing me to add another weathered neutral paper behind the template, and edged it with the lined overlay, changing its color. I added the title CLIMB! using the NotebookAlpha. I added the 12x12 fotoBlendz just on top of the template background paper, changing its color, blend mode and opacity. In addition, I added some of the dripped stains as well. I took a stitched LoopDaLoop and angled it so that two of the loops encircled my daughters face, and finished up adding a flutterby tattoo to the center ArtsyKard.
