Inspired by art

Inspired by art was the idea for a scrapbook page that I pulled from a magazine years ago. I loved the bright colors,  and the focal photograph being askew.

This is the idea from Scrapbooks etc. magazine winter 2002.( I take a while to get to some ideas)  Susan Badget made her page from a painting by Matisse. I believe mine is a greater masterpiece, since it captures my wonderful Grandson on his first Christmas. After I made mine, I used paper I had won at the crop I was attending, to create a matching page for each of my children. I want them to remember how amazing this little guy is. It was fun to see how differently each turned out, but I liked them all.

I just used paper scraps. I cut strips .5 in wide and then cut pieces off at angles. Around the Photo, I wrote how much I loved his big eyes and new front teeth. And how fun he was as our first Grandson.
