Bedtime Stories

'Get picky' is one of my favourite challenge blogs because you have to do multiphoto pages to enter their challenges and most of my layouts incorporate more than one photo. The inspiration challenge right now is a picture of flying books. My first thought was of time flying and I was planning to do a page about how quickly our kids grow up. But as I was flicking through our recent Fiji trip photos I came accross these. I thought how cool it was that no matter where in the world we might be our little family traditions remain the same. Even after a hard day playing in the pool and on the beach in Fiji Benji still needed a bedtime story before settling down to sleep. Big sister natalie was more than willing to read him one. I sprayed my background with 'custard' Mr Hueys spray ink using a sheet of sequin waste as a mask. Then I built up layers of paper (various offcuts from my numerous October Afternoon collections), die-cuts, punched shapes and stickers to mat my photos. I inked everything and doodled around most of my edges with a black gel pen. The final result is very bright and vibrant - like the stories that my children love to read.
