Working On...

This layout about Layne from last Sunday.

We went to the park and he spent about 30mins on the swings, so I used the Continuos mode on my camera to get some shots of Nana pushing him.

He wanted to go HIGHER and was flying like a plane!

As soon as I'd printed these photographs out I numbered them with little white number stickers so I didn't have to worry about getting them mixed up. Just working out where to place then and the filler cards.

Scrap365 Challenge

This is my layout for the June sketch challenge over at Scrap365.

 We got a big tub of gesso a couple weeks ago so I thought I would try it out with some stencils and mists.  I used two different shades of mint green and blue to get a watercolour effect on the background.

Used some scraps of paper as a base for my Instax photograph and got creative with my title (upside down 7 for an L and upside down 3's for e's).

To finish the layout off I dropped some mist splats around and added some enamal dots and foam dots (full stops from the Thickers) to add a little more dimension.

I have to keep playing with gesso and mists so I can get a smoother edge.

This Weekend

 Taking selfies for Project Life.

 Working on my art cards for One Little Word.

 Finishing some layouts.

Mary Kings Close The Underground City.

This was a must do while we were in Edinburgh.

Edinburgh seems to be made up from lots of little closes (small lanes leading to houses) and Mary King's was built on (cheaper than demolishing and rebuilding) - these streets and homes were only re-discovered after 400 years of being underground!

 

There was a room where you can see the 'potato' stamping on the walls of people's homes... they couldn't afford wall paper or anything like that so had to decorate their own walls. I used a Brilliance DewDrop ink pad to get this effect on my background. 

We had our photograph taken with a thermal camera while we were underground (I printed it in black and white), added a brochure with Mary King's daughter (she was our tour guide) and a postcard.
