I love black and white photos. They have an artistic flair that color photos just can't produce.
I started with three photos.
Joe and I celebrated our 25th anniversary in the Pocono Mountains of PA. We combined it with dropping off our youngest at camp. We spent 5 days exploring the sights of PA. This was one of Joe's favorite days because we were in the woods.
I wanted to combine these three photos to make a montage reminder of our day spent hiking together. These three photos are not taken in the exact same spot but I like them together creating a new landscape that is a symbol of our day rather than the actual landscape.
I started with 12 x 12 white Mosaic Grid paper. I began by cutting Joe out in a 2 1/8 x 5 4/8 rectangle that I started one row over from the edge of the grid.
Then I cut everything else in 1 x 1 inch squares and blended the photos together.
I used DCWV's new La Creme Stack (available at Michael's and JoAnn's along with many online sites) for my black, white and ivory color scheme. The upper (and lighter strip) is 2 1/8 x 11 1/8 while the bottom (journaling) strip is 3 2/8 x 11 1/8.
I used white chipboard letters from my stash along with journaling in white pen to finish the page off.
I trimmed 2/8" off the edges of the grid paper and adhered it to a solid black patterned paper also from La Creme for those black edges that I love.
Enjoy and see you next week!
