This week we had to journal a list about someone special. Naturally I chose my CP/DH/OH/SO or whatever the heck I'm supposed to refer to him as (I still haven't settled on a term I'm happy with). Anyway, I nabbed this photo of him from the file containing the photos from our recent trip to London.
I chose the picture of when I managed to snap a photo, sat outside Laduree, partaking of tea, in the Burlington Arcade. Cathy's advice was to try converting the photo to black & white, for it's advantage in covering up a multitude of design problems and looking arty to boot.
The papers are all Prima. The background comes from the Engraver collection whilst all the collaged elements come from Botanical.
I love following Cathy's clean style for this course and I adore the resulting pages but I know that it's more CZ than me in the design. I'm soooo tempted to start adding more dimension and elements to it and take it further away from CAS & more into another style altogether. Though I am pleased to be doing scrapbook layouts again. I hadn't realised how much I'd missed it.

Nice job. :-)
Very nice work. Love the background paper the dark brwon makes the black and white picture pop out. At least to me :)
The black and white is indeed very stylish and it is a lovely photo of The Man. I have been wondering if your own papers were going to make an appearance?
I knew I recognised that bg paper. Such a good set. You should so two pages. One in the cas style and the same layout done with your flair.
Pages are looking great though mate.
Great LO and I just love that paper you chose. Reminds me of a PaperArtsy one a little.
I think the photo of your Other Half sits really well in here.
Hugs, Neet xx
