So batty layout.

 I used 4 sheets that were 6x6 to create my background.

I kept the central area plain by using white matting for my photos. The quote was ideal for this layout. My daughter certainly has her own style.

I mixed white and a little bit of ochre paint then painted through a mask to get the 2 arrows.

I had to photograph this then edit on my phone, but it is much straighter in real life. 


I'm entering this at Stencil Fun challenges. as it qualifies.

Sketches in THyme

 


Here's the sketch at sketches in Thyme

I chose this one for 2 photos of a friend and I having breakfast. Our particular favourite at that restaurant is corn fritters.

Here's the layout I did.


I actually stamped the vines in 2 areas.

CKC challenge #1

 Challenge #1 at CKC is to use pink or purple on an autumn layout.

On this layout there are pink foxes on the washi tape.


Now here's my layout which also includes 2 different ribbons down the sides and a bicycle tag I made myself.




Soul scrappers double sketch.

 One of the challenges at Soul Scrappers was a double page sketch challenge.


Still using my Counterfeit kit papers, this time in browns, I matched 2 sides as best I could.

Here's page one


I used paint through a stencil to create my title. I cut out a tiny train picture from an old picture dictionary. I added a ticket with some journalling. The plain brown ribbon goes across both pages.

Here's page two


I didn't have any more of the leafy paper so used brown cardstock. For the middle section I used a wood veneer paper. I put tan paper next to the title on the other page and again used plain brown ribbon.

I added 2 other tickets stapled under the photo of me. I added a pink section saying best friends and a tab with the location.

Here's the 2 pages combined.

Counterfeit kit greens

 


I recently met up with a scrapper I haven't seen for about 10 years. Jan and I shared stories and remembered the early days. Here we are in 2015.



I made this layout using more greens from my kit. I also added laces plus washi tape and tiny branches from my set of alphas. The tag with these days on it is the last one from Chapter One set from Kaisercraft.

this or that challenge

 


I'm using more green papers from my Counterfeit kit stack.

I started with a colourful base paper.I matted 2 small photos

There is no border

I've used 3 tags. One for the title and 2 for journalling

I also used word stickers

I had no enamel dots so used sequins
