Tobha Mor - Stuck Sketches

I loved this sketch from Stuck Sketches and couldnt resist having a go.

The photos I used I have been trying to scrap for ages and just couldn't get the right vibe.

I adapted the sketch to give the photos a more linear approach

and this is what I made of it!

The photos are of a hostel and surrounding area in Howmore (Tohba Mor in Gaelic), South Uist, Outer Hebrides.  We have stayed here a couple of times and loved it.

The journalling reads: We have been here on our cycling adventures.  A hostel small in size but big in character.

Above is the layout I put together using the colour palette (#105) and sketch from The Colour Room.

 

This as you can see is a close up of the title.  I have shown this as I have used American Crafts alphas which I have altered using American Crafts rub-ons which helps them fit in with the overall colour scheme.  This is so quick and easy to do and with so many rub-ons on the market the possabilities are endless.

Colour Room Sketch #105 and Palette.

I enjoy putting all my layouts together but I thoroughly enjoyed doing this one.  I don't know if it was the colours, the small photos or the sketch, but I just loved it and it look so fresh and fun.

My Little Beach Bum

 This is the layout I put together using the colour and challenge prompt from Colours Stories Inspiration - CSI#11 (please see details below)

I used a sketch from 'Lets Capture those Sketches' which I think was ideal for these photographs.

 I absolutley loved using this colour palette for this layout. It had fun & funky colour with a slight vintage-y look to them.

I have highlighted the items I used to fit in with the challenge below.

EVIDENCE DETAILS
Choose two (or more)of the following elements to include on your layout:

• Use paint or other medium in the background
• butterfly accents
• kite accents
• Use string
• use paper with vintage images
• sprinkle letters on the page
• tearing

JOURNALING DETAILS (TESTIMONY)
Choose one (or more)of the following to inspire your journaling:

• Document a story from your childhood.
• Scatter your journaling across your page (like the letters are sprinkled on the image).
• Elevate your journaling by carefully crafting your words.
• Inspiration words: whimsy, wonder, ties -- Use these words as a jumping-off point for your journaling.

I am really pleased with the outcome of this layout.  I think it is fun, funky, colourful and reflects my grandsons cheery personality.

I used the following products to put the layout together.

Recreating a Moment

I have created this layout to use as an example for a basic scrapbooking class I am going to be teaching for my local craft shop Papercuts Whitley Bay.

I used a colour prompt from site The Colour Room #100. (see below)

I also scraplifted the following layout by Amanda Jones which was printed in Issue 1 of Scrap 365.

While on holiday in the Lake District my husband and myself climbed a few Wainwrights (hills of the lakes) one of which is called Binsey.

We had the Wainwright book - Northern Fells with us when we were doing the walk and my hubby noticed a drawing in it which he decided to recreate at the summit.  This is the photo I have scrapped.  I scanned in the page of the book which showed the pose my hubby has recreated and used this in my layout too.

I used the following components:

Best Creation Inc - Basic Glitter Paper (colours BGP223 - Brown & BGP217 Blue) from Papercuts
Glitz Designs Teeny Alpha - Burnt Orange
American Crafts - Giggles - Brown
Twill Tape - Bootprints
Scan of Northern Fells - Page Binsey 7
Dulux paint strip
Brown Acrylic Paint
Sassafrass Lass - Amplify - Ziggy
Chipboard Accent
Paper Flowers - from Papercuts
Stabilo Bionic Pen - Black

I hop you enjoy my layout and remember ....a day without sunshine is like a day without scrapbooking!!
