I grew up in Ashtabula, Ohio right on the shores of Lake Erie. For me, pictures of the water make me think of home faster than anything. This layout focuses on a picture of the Ashtabula Harbor.
I printed this picture from earlier this summer in black and white and was immediately struck by the timelessness of the image. It could have been a picture of the harbor today, when I was a child or years before that. That sense of timelessness in combination with Creative Scrappers Sketch 217 inspired this layout.
I started with the B side of a paper from the LYB Paradise line and added some old MME and Creative Memories papers in my stash to create the soft color palette. I added some Colorbok embellishments I picked up at JoAnns on the spur of the moment and a Freckled Fawn square doily. A strip of washi tape across the top finished the layout. I like that the layout has that vintage feel that plays on the sense that the photo could be from days gone by.
