The paper players

 At the Paper Players they want a CAS card featuring food.

I had a filmstrip from Darkroom door featuring lollies so used that plus some foam words.

Makes me hungry just looking at it. 

Sketch and scrap throwback sketch.

 We are asked to choose one of these.

I've chosen the large circle sketch on the right.

Here's my layout.

My circle is smaller because I wanted to get that chipboard sewing machine on this layout, My photo and title are in the same place and I used a fancy edged paper on top of black to add contrast.

The story behind this that my aunt was a great dressmaker. My cousin in the photo still uses the old sewing machine. 

Colour challenge and throwback sketch.

 

I've made this layout for the colour challenge at The Scrap room.

I started by cutting 6 circles then found a strip of patterned paper featuring 3 of the colours. I bordered it with washi tape, top and bottom. After adding my photos I used 2 cocoa vanilla Bohemian Dream Flairs. The photos were taken at a strange angle so they appear crooked but they are straight on the page.

Using the same colours, I also did the throwback sketch.

I had a postcard of a sloth I bought in Costa Rica in case I didn't see sloths. I used that.

Jumpstart sketch

 

Here is the jumpstart sketch at the scraproom.

I used a photo of the forest canopy in Costa Rica. It was taken from the Aerial tram. We were the same height as birds and small monkeys. It was awe inspiring!

I used shades of green on this as I thought it was appropriate.

Sunrise photos bliss

 

This is a quick one using a sequence of 3 photos. Early on the morning we were in Puerto Vallarta I stood on deck and watched the sunrise. It was spectacular!

I've used the 2 colours yellow and black on this layout. I had a few tiny word strips plus gold sparkly flowers. My title BLISS seems appropriate.

Sketches in Thyme.

 

This layout is for Sketches in Thyme.I had 2 photos of the sea when it was a bit rougher so made my layout about that. My background darker paper already had a whitewash over it. The paler paper was actually an ANZAC paper but I managed to avoid the flag on it. I fussy cut the 2 dolphin pictures.

My arrows were done by inking through a mask and I cut chicken wire chipboard for the texture.

Paper Issues scraplift

 

We are asked to scraplift this at Paper Issues.

I had a beautiful sunrise photo I wanted to scrap.

I used mermaid paper as my background. It had the pinks and blues plus I was on a cruise.

I found tags to match the photo and used embroidery cotton instead of twine. I also used stars and hearts instead of flowers.
