Backseat Driving with Mama

This week's Heart 2 Heart Challenges is Life Is a Highway. I created a single page layout of my son and me in the car driving. (We were stopped on the side of the road when I took the picture.)


I used a simple color palette of Black, White Daisy, Indian Corn Blue, and Outdoor Denim. The chevron paper is from the Paper Fundamentals Enchantment pack. This design pattern is retiring soon!


I used Art Philosophy to cut the banner pieces. My son is all about "Ready, Set, Go!" He says it all of the time!


I added these chevron enamel pieces with an ombre effect at the bottom to add more color to the page. These are also retiring soon!


This chipboard accent is from a Bo Bunny set that I had in my stash. Since the journaling on this page was about my son switching to front facing, I thought this fit nicely.

Happy Scrapping, My Artsy Friends!

    Such a cute layout. And glad you weren't taking selfies while driving. Sad that you had to state that. But back to the project. So cool how you journaled around the layout. Thanks for sharing with us at Heart 2 Heart.

      When I originally posted this picture to Facebook, people were all over me for driving while picture taking. LOL

    (I love the name of your blog! Too cute.) My favorite part of this project is your idea to make the enamel shapes an ombre effect! I never would have thought of that! Glad you played along again at Heart 2 Heart!

    I love this layout, so cute and so fun! The colours are fun and vibrant, the black plays off the blue really well! Thanks for playing along with Heart 2 Heart Challenges (H2H)!
