Even though you are a simple scrapper, I think you did great with still taking some inspiration from each of the layouts when they are not your style. I love the whole look being monochromatic with the large photo...so handsome too! Thanks for playing along with me in my challenge!
Wow this is great! Love how you take inspirations of both layout and keep this style! The monochromatic style is really cool and I love your date with string, perfect with the title.
