Robyn and Adrian

I thought I would do a layout of Adrian and I as one of the scrapbooking magazines had a callout for submissions on layouts about relationships of siblings. This particular magazine seems to go for more complicated paper style layouts so I thought I would give it a go. I don’t normally do paper style layouts as they are so time consuming… and this one certainly was! I am well out of my comfort zone in regards to design style but I think I managed to pull it off! All the elements except for the torn papers were from current kits of mine, although some of them have been recoloured for this layout.

I have always loved this photo of Adrian and I, maybe because of the soft colours in it, which is why I chose soft colours for the background papers as well. I did do some retouching to get rid of some yellowing and I think the main giveaway now that it is an old photo is the forground and clothing. It always amazes me how much Jasmine looks like me as a child. And we thought Kyan was chubby! I think Adrian might overtake him in that department, well in this photo at least!
