Project Life 2013 - Week 6

Week 6...now I'm on a roll! This is the week we celebrated Fastelavn in Denmark (also called Carnival). It's a celebration held right before Lent, where you eat buns filled with cream and other goodies before you are supposed to fast from all that. Traditionally, they also put a black cat in a barrel and hit it until the cat jumped out and ran away....to represent that they were chasing away evil. Charming, right? Anyway, today it's a kids holiday, with all the kids dressing up, hitting the barrel (which is now full of sweets and decorated with black cats), eating sweet buns, and going from house to house singing and asking for sweets. It's great fun!

I'm loving the way Isabel (Mickey) put her hand in her pocket every time it was her turn to hit the barrel and Alexander busting out his best Ninjago moves! That picture of Isabel above is her singing into the mirror with the soap as her microphone...too funny! I think it is a bit weird to rub out so many faces, but I think it's better to respect the privacy of those kids, so...just go with it.

I found it a bit challenging with all these photos of kids and colours and chaos, from three different celebrations. I had to pull out some photos and replace it with some calmer images, but I'm happy with the balance I ended with...not TOO overwhelming, but still a good representation of our week. Funnily enough, bright coloured cards worked better than neutrals! The Noted card and six card (recoloured) are from Miss Tiina's Everyday pack (you can see that I'm a huge fan!) and the title card and celebrate today card are from the Seafoam Kit. I lowered the opacity on the title card as the yellow was just too bright. The cute camera is a brush by Amy Tangerine's Ready Set Go Collection.
