At the end of April, we brought you our first Progressive layout.

This month we did it again, only I had the opportunity to create first (muah ha ha) and send it to Alyssa!
Here is what she received from me…

I absolutely adore this photo. Last summer, Alyssa and her family came to visit me in Alabama, and this image is of our 4 kids standing together at a local park. After having some photoshop fun with the picture, I used the colors of the balloons as inspiration in creating the background. I used my Trash Bag Technique, lots of glimmer mist, and some painted bubble wrap to give the page the Heidi-esque artsy feel. I then added strips off to the side like Alyssa often does, only using chipboard and felt for added fun. I could not wait to see what she would come up with!

Here is how she finished it!

(Cardstock used: Frosted Felt, Pumpkin Vine, Temptress)

Didn’t she an amazing job? I LOVE that she kept the bit of green (hmmm… sounds like what she said about the last progressive!) and added more. Her use of foliage and hand-cut details add so much eye candy to the layout and I am just in love with how it turned out! What do you think?
