Continuing documenting our 2020 vacation to Lake Placid, NY. I made my husband pull over on the side of the road so I could take this photo. My late friend and mentor loved Lake Placid and constantly talked about this beautiful area of the country, and when I saw this field, I immediately thought of him. I had to stop and honor him for a few minutes in my memory. I'm so grateful that we got to finally explore this region.

Process photo: I struggled finding the right color and paper combinations for this project, and even ripped it apart and put it together several times. I was trying to force a lovely peacock blue paper and vicki Boutin stencil into the design, and in the end, once I let them go and introduced the better shade of lilac from the doodlebug collection, everything fell into place successfully.
I've put this hobby on hold for the last 8 months, but am so relieved to be back! sdm-

ReplyDeletemany thanks, Gail. I usually don't purchase those photo realistic scrapbook papers, but the flower filled fields of Lake Placid really inspired me. I used the CM Meadows collection on 4 pages in this album.
