Pictures of the downstairs of the house my parents lived in for almost 50 years. It was the home that my brothers and I grew up in and that my daughter (their only grandchild) also spent a lot of time in. For the Double Page Challenge – I used the sketch with the big circle. I also added 7 VERY dimensional flowers. For the Mood Board Challenge – I was inspired by the hearts because the home was very loving, the flowers at the bottom right because Mom loved gardening, and the louvered door (thus the striped border) because the doors from the upstairs into the rec room were those types of doors. For the 100 Sheets Challenge – 4. For the 30 Items Prompt - #19 – March comes in like a lion, out like a lamb. Make this a layout of contrasts. Can be colors, seasons, good/bad, etc. The contrast to me was the vision of how the house looked then compared to how much different it would look if I were to see it today after it was sold. I’m sure they’ve made a LOT of changes! Also the colors because the green is very bright and the grey is so dark.
