I almost started with a black and white photo because I found the strong orange difficult to work with. Once I found a patterned paper with a similar orange in the pattern, though, I decided to go with the color photo. I can’t explain why but I very rarely work with black and white photos. For the layout I started with the third lesson of the Scrapbook Coach issue “In a Block” for the placement of the papers and border but then went my own way for embellishing.
