Hi! It's Dee and I'm continuing with this weeks series about the elements. Today I'm here with the fourth element: water!
When Jenny proposed to do our weekly theme about the elements I immediately opted for water as 'my' element. I may or may not have something to do with the fact that aquarius is my sign;-) Just kidding, the main reason for my pick is that a story about my dad (and me) immediately came to mind. My dad always called me a 'water rat'... This may be a Dutch expression, i'm not sure, but it's used to say someone very much likes to swim :-) Apparently from a young age I had always loved to swim. My dad would throw me in the water with my water wings on, even one time in Austria where the water of the swimming pool was extremely cold, I wouldn't mind at all! So here's the layout I came up with, with graphic elements of water, cut out with my Silhouette. I love how it turned out.
I absolutely adore this story and I'm glad I documented it. Now that my dad is passed away I try to document as many things I remember of him, stories he told me and adventures we had together.
It's great how one word or one theme, like in this case water, can spark so different stories, different layout ideas... It may be about summer water fun, or rain or the sea.. So many stories you can think of!
I hope you feel inspired to make some fun water-themed layouts as well! Please link up if you do so!
Much love,
Dee
