When I Grow Up I want To Be A Unicorn

A lot of the time when I get in from work i really just want to have my tea and relax, however on the odd occasion i decided that i want to sit at my desk and scrap.  Tonight has been one of those nights.  I am desperate to use up the remainder of my Like For Ever Harmony kit so pulled this out to work with tonight.  I had no idea what I was going to create so pulled out one of the many selfie pictures of my daughter and just went with what I felt like.  This is the resulting page:




When I started the layout the only thing that I new was that I really, really wanted to use that unicorn sticker (I was worried my daughter was gonna steal it) and I remembered the conversation that we had one day.  The photo on the layout is just a random snap with no real meaning but was perfect for documenting this memory.  I wonder how she will feel in a few years when she looks back and realises that she said this.


The title for this layout took me a lot longer to create than I care to admit.  I new straight away that I wanted to use the Amy Tan vellum alphas for the word unicorn but I went through at least 10 other alphabets before settling on the rest of the title.  It really needed something underneath it to ground it and well I have been hoarding this rosette since I received it so decided to just go ahead and add it to the page.  Once the title was done the left hand side of the page needed some journalling so that I could better explain the title.



That strip of pink under the photo mat was the final thing to be added as I felt it needed a pop of pink on that side to balance the whole layout out.

Overall I really quite like this layout and at the end of the day who doesn't want to be a unicorn.

Thanks for stopping by and TTFN x
