Play the hand you've been dealt

 

 

This one is a bit of a self-reflective LO because sometimes it's important to capture how YOU are feeling right now. I've used about five different Kaisercraft paper ranges on this LO because I wanted to use up some scraps. Here's a detail shot of the pretty flowers:

 

 

This was created for the Scrapz.biz Do or Die competition, round 2. This was again a very challenging round for me. Rules: You are to design a layout using the cover of Live & Let Die as your inspiration. Your layout must feature something that you dream of and really want. You must include a playing card/s of some sort. Your layout must feature the word 'Big'.

 

It was the fact that I couldn't think of something I really wanted that led me down the self-reflective route. I've been inspired by the cover in that I have my title up the top and in quotation marks; I have a silhouette photo with misting/an explossion behind it; the playing cards are fanned to the sides; the border around the main LO and there is a lot of text at the bottom. The word 'big' is in my journalling.

 

I also thought this month's challenge at The Scrapbook Store (formerly Handmade by Suzanne) was close to the cover LO so I've also used it for inspiration.
