Scrapbook Challenges has its weekly sketch up and running. This week it's brought to you by the very talented and punky Nat and looks like this:
My first reaction to my page, when I'd finished putting it together, was disappointment that I hadn't managed to get the skulls in - I so wanted to include them, but the creative journey took me away from them and sometimes it's just the way things go.
Last month I sang a couple of songs with my fiance and his friend at a gig of theirs. Big deal for me, trying to get back to those days when I was happy to stand up in front of the whole school and read out poetry I'd written. But I did it, and felt good. And I'll be going back for more.
Using tiny pieces of cardstock and patterned paper: at this rate, I'll never use up my scraps.
This page has sent me off on a journey that I think will be a long one. I am loving grey plus a splash of colour now, so look out for many more pages in this colour scheme. Grey has allowed me to even use pink, a not-favourite colour of mine - you'll see in a couple of weeks when I get to share that page here. And I'm looking forward to trying out grey and orange, and grey and green, and grey and aqua... if you have a favourite, let me know!

I love how you have done your layout. I have the same photos but I bet mine turns out totally different! Grey is one of those great colours, it goes with ANYTHING! Grey and lemon is a lovely combo as is grey and lime, grey and white looks good, I could go on and on and on.....
ReplyDeleteI'm seriously loving grey at the moment too. I'm wearing grey and orange today and the new Gotta Craft kit I've been working on is grey and yellow.
ReplyDeleteI love the delicate look you have given this
LOOOOVE! I feel you on the "tiny bits of paper" front- I'm doing the same thing- smaller looks better when layered I think. GREAT color combo- grey and blue is awesome- love the pop of yellow. Congrats on the singing gig- that's got to feel GREAT. :)
ReplyDeleteYou are so brave! Love those photos, such a pretty color scheme too!
ReplyDeleteGreat layout, I think grey is the colour of the moment, I'm seeing it everywhere and loving it.
