UN DIA PERFECTO - A PERFECT DAY

Este es un LO doble que armé combinando dos retos: mi "Reto Porteño" y el de "Once Upon a Sketch". El del Reto Porteño me gustó mucho pero me encontré con que tenía más fotos del tema que quería ilustrar que las que el Reto permitía. Entonces se me ocurrió armar la página compañera con la plantilla de Once upon a Sketch y así poder utilizar toooodas las fotos!!

This is a two page LO I put togeteher combining two challenges: my own "Reto Porteño" and Nadia Canizzo's Once upon a Sketch. My Reto porteño is generally about scraplifting a LO designed by a foreign artist. Because in Argentina we have no access to the wonderful array of supplies available abroad, the purpose of my challenge is to get the girls to be creative and see how with a little bit of imagination, the help of their computers and plenty of manual work , wonderful results can nevertheless be achieved. It's just a question of observing and trying to figure out how industrially made embellishmenta can be made by hand!! Scraplifting is also a great way to become acquainted with materials and discover the endless possibilities of our art supplies as well as putting new techniques into practise.

I had loved the page designed by Zwyck but I had too many photos and the sketch didn't have enough room for them. So I decided to put togeteher a second page and use Nadia's sketch so as to be able to fit in all my photos.

Esta es la página que fue nuestra inspiración para el Reto:

This is Zwyck's layout on which we were inspired for my Reto Porteño:

Y esto es lo que hice para el Reto Porteño
And this is what I designed for the Reto Porteño:

En la página del Reto Porteño hice el dibujo de la siguiente manera: Descargué una foto de Google de la Estación donde tomamos el Tren de la Costa, lo calqué, lo escanée y luego lo transferí sobre mi trabajo
In the LO for the Reto Porteño, I downloaded an image of the train station where we took the train (from Google), I traced it and then transferred it onto my page

El reto de Once Upon a Sketch pedía una frase de por lo menos dos renglones que comenzara con "Un día perfecto es...."

Utilicé esto como título y agregué : "un día compartido con vos"

Como tenía mucho más para escribir, la foto grande se abre como un libro y permite var más fotos y el texto

Nadia's challenge required a two line phrase starting with "A Perfect Day" so I used that as a title and added "is a day shared with you"

Because I had a lot of journalling to do, the bigger photo opens up like a book to reveal more photographs and all the hidden journalling

El pequeño cartelito de cartón que dice "Un día" actúa a su vez de cierre sostenido por un elástico negro.

The small cardbord tab with the words "Un día" (A day) acts as the closure for the booklet and is held in place by a piece of black elastic



Y estas son detalles de la página:
