There’s a new challenge up at ARTastic! This month the criteria is portrait photograph. As I love to do layouts that tells a story I did a layout about DD saying that she doesn’t like to be photographed by strangers. All three photos are taken at her kindergarten by a professional photographer. When she was two years old she looked terrified. When she was three she didn’t want to look at the photographer at all. When she was four she was a big girl and did what she was told but she didn’t like it and she didn’t smile no matter how they tried… Quite fun to save on a layout as it captures her personality. (If you visit here regularly you know how happy and cheerful she looks when it's me who's behind the camera...)

I wanted the layout to look a bit like a billboard so I chose a cork-patterned paper as a background. I added some gesso, ink spray and acrylic paint. I also stamped a lot of cameras.
I hope you want to play along!! Thanks for looking!!! Take care!
OH what a great story behind your layout. Lovely to see the changes in her through her kindy years. Love the cute pigtails!
