ok, so she got her new room almost a year ago (her 8th birthday present) … but i am just now creating a layout about it. lol!

i love the way this layout turned out … so colorful even with the black. and that’s just how her bedroom is. i love how colors just seem to "pop" when paired with black … and that’s one reason i fell in love with her comforter set and curtains. and i love polka-dots of any kind. i had taken these photos on her birthday … right after re-doing her room. i posted about it all HERE.

i just pulled up some photos … and created this collage in photoshop. when i do these, it does require some math … and i think i had the middle part figured out wrong … because i thought the pics would go all the way across. lol! but i just worked with it … and then added some decorative tape to it after i printed it. and the title? why do i never think to add text to my photos/collages before i print them out? lol! it made it super easy … and i used my favorite-font-of-all-time too. i had it placed a little too far down … so i simply added a thin ribbon above it. embrace your mistakes my friends … embrace them!

    Her room is so cute Laura. Did the same thing for my son…surprised him with a new room when he finally got to see the house. 🙂 Isn’t it fun? The LO colors are great. I like how you added text to your collage. Great idea.

    Well, I really did not know that we can put 9 photos on a layout without giving the page a “heavy aspect”. I love the way you organized the photos and journaling, it seems so nice with those colors ! I think that I will be inspired with this one ! lol
    Have a great day
