Life Happens

The story is that I was, for some unknown reason, terrified of these tree roots. If you zoom in on the picture, there is no real joy in that face. It got me to pondering how life happens while we are standing around being afraid of things that really can't or won't hurt us.

 

I made the background paper using the newsletter freebie paper template by Jan Hicks. I rotated it 90 degrees and layered it again to put more texture into the background. I think it turned out quite nicely. Thank you, Jan.

 

The swirly frame around the photo (which I recolored) is by Lauren Bavin at Digital Scrapbook Place.

 

The flower overlay (recolored) is by Jason Gaylor at designfruit.com.

 

Life Happens overlay (recolored) is by Shelleyrae Cusbert at Scrapbook Bytes.

 

Inked edge (recolored) is from "Luck Star" by Gina Cabrera at Digital Design Essentials.

 

This is a digital layout using PSE2. It was my first time doing sepia from a B&W photo.

The colors you used go great with the sepia of the photo. I like the brush underneath the photo as well, it really grounds it. And I like the spot of color from the flowers too!

This is really beautiful. You are right, there is no joy in that face. But I love the paper, the quote, the flowers, all of your layout is beautiful. And the thoughts behind it are very profound and effect all of our lives. Very nice.
