GRAND CENTRAL TERMINAL

Starting point - Episode 2.

When cutting that hot pink piece, i knew i would use it to frame my photo with the title underneath. That worked out pretty well. i don't use grey, or cardstock, very often, so it was the perfect time to use one of the black & white pictures i had (out of 300, i'd say less than 15 are B&W). Only a couple were made for a single photo layout and were horizontal, so picking was pretty easy.

I should maybe mention that i never take pictures directly in black & white, i add it after, using my Radlab actions to find the perfect shade of B&W (yes, there is a lot of different B&W). But that's an entirely different subject (and post?).

Funny story about the title. For those of you who have been to New York or just know this place, you might call it Grand Central Station, or Grand Central Terminal. Apparently, both names are ok, but i just felt like a 3 word title didn't work, because it took things too much to the right. And since it was already pretty busy on the right with the embellishment clusters from the center and the bottom, i decided to go with grand central.

Talking of embellishments, i created the cluster using some tags (from Sleigh Ride, even though this layout is neither about xmas or winter), some bits and pieces using the color scheme of the floral paper, a flair, some enamel dots and a few stamps (i'm really liking it more and more, especially little stamps put together)

Added some journaling about how this place mainly reminds me of Gossip Girl (yep, i watched Gossip Girl), added a nice XOXO stamp just perfect for the occasion and that was it.
