hold you close- Part III

Another layout I never liked.

I don't have enough real estate for duds. So, if I don't like it, it gets trashed or more attention. The above is the original. I altered it and it still wasn't good enough so now we're on to Part III.

Printing the photo in black & white is probably the biggest improvement. I also continued to accent my layout with papers from the same collection- Random by Crate Paper. It's random all right.

I used snipped away pieces to accent the top here. I also added doodling for definition.

I used Black Soot Distress Ink to color the "CLOSE" letters. It almost worked. I decided the bright blue wasn't working at all on this layout so I ripped them off and replaced them with a little accent banner and gray letters from Cosmo Cricket.

An imperfect speech bubble. Totally random!

Layers of banners and doodling.

We'll see.

Thanks for stopping by!
