Kathryn Estry has a fantastic new kit out, so fun, whimsical and so very dreamy. I knew I had to scrap with it. Just An Ordinary Day -- anything but an ordinary kit

I am so happy with this page. I extracted Little Miss from the green grass in the background. I tried several clipping masks, but the green was just over powering.
I spent some time with the shadow work to try to get some sense of dimension. I am so happy with my final page.

I was pretty stuck on the journaling. I had an idea to journal inside a path and make it the shape of a road, starting at the bottom of the page and having the text go up each line, almost as if walking up steps. No matter what I did, I just couldn't get the image I had in my mind. So, I thought about the feeling I was trying to convey, and one word came to mind "believe". Little Miss's stance, the wind blowing her hair. I thought if I was looking at her, maybe her eyes were closed and she might be dreaming about all the possibilities.
We were actually at her favorite park, and the entrance to woods was a few hundred miles away. Little Miss has such an imagination, and each time we visit, she "feeds" her "horse" (a fallen down tree) pine cones, acorns, dried leaves, and flowers. I imagined Little Miss dreaming of fairies and sprites, the grumpy old troll who guards the bridge in the woods beyond. Believe seemed fitting.
