Wed 5/2 HNC - Stripes
I didn't make it to the chat, but I had a glimmer of an idea for a striped page, so I ran with it. I put stripes on my photo, used a striped alpha, and added striped borders. If you use your imagination, you could say I had striped stitching and a tree made of stripes, but maybe that's taking it a bit too far.

Journaling: Using styrofoam spheres and bells, ribbons and sequins, the boys made ornaments for Christmas gifts in 1991. With help, David (6) did fine, but the project was difficult for John (4) and Steven (3). When we finally finished, the boys were very proud of their work.

How very, very clever. I love the extractions, stitching and stripe border. The Christmas tree is great and the photos cute.

This is adorable, Sue! I love the photo of those cute kids and their striped ornaments! The striped border looks festive, and I like all the other stripes you managed to sneak in here :D . It was fun seeing a Christmas layout this time of year - puts me right back into the Christmas spirit!

Not even sure how you did that background...extracted the boys then did stripes of the background? Very cool.

I did it the reverse way: cut out the photo strips, laid them onto the original photo, then extracted just the bits of the photo that weren't already cut out in the strips. It was less extracting that way. Isn't that a fun idea? I saw it somewhere, and decided it would work for this challenge.

Great use of stripes in this page! Even after you explained what you did, I'm still, "Huh?", LOL. It's a very cool effect, though. Your stripey Christmas tree is adorable, and so is that photo of your boys. Hope you still have these ornaments. Such a sweet memory!
