LOVE how this turned out! Esp love that tire tread in the bg - great touch! See now, I remember commenting that I loved the banner, but then to each his (or her) own I guess! Love that you redid this page since it made you nuts (I have a few of those pages myself)!
the photo of the cars is just so cool, I'd love to see them in person. the glue woodgrain paper and the tire tracks are perfect for the page, I like the original too, but this is a nice makeover
Love this! You're right. The photos didn't pop off the bg in version #1, but they are perfect on this one! Fantastic paper selection and the tire tracks are a great addition.
I like BOTH layouts, but again...I pretty much like ALL of your work! Love that colorful photo of the cars, the tire track stencil, and the overall distressed feel of the layout!
Who would have thought I needed a tire tread stencil but darn, when I saw this page I just know it would come in handy for man pages!! The rework on your layout is brought it up to date!! I like that you used the gears in this.
Pat, I've never been to New Mexico and my best friend talks about New Mexico all the time and even talks of moving there. I digress but I eagerly read your description of your redo looking for the description of the what now I know is the tire treads stencil on the left and I got to get that one! Your glittered gears and that green color are a perfect fit for this lo! Your title and the turquoise are perfect, too!
I love the new too, and the tire track stamp too! Well placed! I also love all the sanding, inking, different color tile alphas, the vintage painted board paper, all of it, very well done!
I don't think it's a "mess" at all - you've captured the fun and incongruity of this event - your paper is perfect to bring out the colors of your photos - I love your banner, and those painted gears are wonderful - DON'T change anything about this LO ~
Pat...this layout is wonderful! I love it and all of the things you've done. I wouldn't let it marinate I would say it's done and move on! LOL! I too have layouts that I am just not crazy about when I get them done...but I figure they are done and then it's .....Next! Very Creative here my friend!
A mess where?! Everything that you have been hoarding is awesome! I personally really like the elements here and I don't feel like this lo needs a do over.
My interpretation of sketch #246 at Nuts About Sketches.
I LOVED working with Shawn's sketch, but I'm not particularly crazy about the project. Maybe it's maybe it's just because I wasn't feeling well when I did it, but I was having a really hard time thinking creatively, and I think I just overwhelmed it with too much busy and not enough basic bone structure.
I was TRYING to incorporate the whole feeling of these old caddies shoved nose first into the desert hard pan and then covered with graffiti by a gazillion taggers. The papers were the right color and they really let the photos shine, but in spite of my throwing just about everything in the closet at it - stamping and pasting and misting and embossing and metal elements and fringe - it just doesn't feel done. Or right. Or something.
But at least I had fun and got some stuff out of my stash pile. I think I'll let it just marinate here in my gallery for a while and revisit it at some future date - maybe for a Do-Overs Challenge project. Meanwhile, I think I'll turn it into the hoarders challenge. Those papers have been in my stash at LEAST a couple of years.
Thanks for peeking. Don't feel like you have to be nice. I know this one is a mess. :-P
