Scrapping out of context


The photos on the layout were taken at an outdoor concert last year.  They were not intended to document a relationship or any other emotion, but when I started looking at them, they showed a very candid moment between my husband and my son.  So many times these moments happen and we don't think to take a picture.  I call this my happy accident. 

Another element to this layout is the quote.  I searched high and low for words that would express their relationship.  I finally found it in this quote found at http://www.quotegarden.com/ .  Instead of adding a title, I enlarged the quote and emphasized a few words to convey the meaning of the layout.  No journaling needed. 

Another happy accident is the shirt my husband was wearing.  The writing on the shirt was camoflauge.  I added simliar paper to bring the colors across the layout.  How wonderful that Scrappin Sports and More had just the right papers.  Who knew a paper with a hunting theme could work so well on a Father's Day layout?
