I really can't get over doing re-dos. I feel like every time I look at my scrapbooks- I find a page that I could tweek in to something completely different. Funny thing is- I just did the page I'm re-doing not even a few months ago - one of my first pages with mixed media but it turned out to be kind of a hot mess.
I think when I did this page I wanted so badly to match up the colors that I kind of ending up losing sight of what I was doing. I wanted to make a page about my sweet Blaize ( I swear over and over again, I love my other two cats ) and this photo of him sporting Yoda Ears. The green color popped out and I wanted to tie in the other colors in the one paper I thought had that green color. It just wasn't pretty in my opinion.
So I redid the page with a great cut file from The Cut Shoppe. I thought being Yoda was in Star Wars- that I should use stars. I again kind of used the green color, but I kind of took a different twist with it- the green with blues. I found old stickers in my stash from October Afternoon that had some space themes to it also used neutral/blue Crate Paper ephemera. I love the way it turned out this time around.
I just love that John found the Yoda ears at the Pet store. He's a fan of the Star Wars craziness and it would be perfect for his cat to be dressed like Yoda. Blaize also is just a pretty chill cat that he took it with pride and wore the ears like a pro. Ember on the other hand, lasted all but two seconds- the ears made it to the floor. She's a sassy little girl. That just wasn't going to happen. I'm glad I captured this moment... and re-did the page.
Again, never be afraid to re-do a page if you're not happy with it. The moment deserves to be captured how YOU want it to be remembered :)
