Lets Get Sketchy/Colour Stories Inspiration 206

I love this simple sketch by Lets Get Sketchy 

I found it so easy to get started

I really love the layout I have created 

I also used a colour challenge from Colours Stories Inspiration (below)

Evidence: Stars/Stripes, Flags, Circle 

Testimony: Thank you note 

Journalling reads:  To my husband - Thank you for going along with my enthusiasm for adventures, specifically to the islands of Scotland.  I has turned out to be a great love for us both and somewhere we are both drawn back to year after year.

And this is what I put together.....

The photo is of my hubby and myself on our way back to mainland Scotland from the Isle of Arran.

Thanks for taking the time to look at my blog.

I would love it if you would like to do one or more of the following

Hebs 2014

Enjoying another challenge 

with Colour Stories Inspiration and Show us your stuff

This is what I created 

This photo is from our trip to the Outer Hebrides - We were just pulling up at Scuribhal Campsite when I looked out of the window when I saw our cyles (which were attached to the roof) casting shadows but with this lovely view in the background.  I could resist taking a quick snap.

I really enjoyed making this layout and it just sort of evolved as it went along as apposed to me know what I am going to do ahead of time.

Show us your Stuff prompt I used

 The shapes I needed to include on my layout were - a square, a rectangle, bunting, a circle, a banner, a splash of paint or ink and of course, a handmade item. (It's not as hard as it may sound!) Each one of these items must be used at least once, and must be clearly visible. 

Square = Photogrpah

Rectangle = Seaside and Wayside 

Bunting = Hebs (title)

Circle = centre of butterfly

Banner = Scuribhal (subtitle)

Paint = used on butterflies and flower detail in bottom left corner 

Handmade item = cut flower shape from tissue used to blot stencil

Wings

This week I decided to combine 5 challenges to see what fun I could have. 

 Inspiration has come from various sources for this layout - one of which is the sketch below from Creative Scrappers - Sketch #244

  I also used the following challenge blogs and their fun ideas within my layout.

Punky Scraps 

Your challenge is to create about YOU and the things you love about you.

On my tag I have added things that give me wings - Husband, Son, Grandson, Scrapbooking, Photography and generally being creative.

True XO XO Scrapbooking 

Show us your houndstooth!  Shown behind photo and pleated underneath too.                                 

Clear it Out Challenge Blog - Theme: Circles         Stash: Anything Goes

(using this layout as a submission for their deisgn team)  I have used Core'dinations Core Impressions - Dots.  I also used a Martha Stewart border punch to punch lots of cirle in it.  I added some of the confetti from this to use elsewhere on the page.

ARTastic (Inspiration Challenge Blog) 

The use of chalk or the addition of wings on your entry.  I used Tim Holts grungeboard wings to my back and rubbed some Luster rub on in Amber to it.

 This is the layout I created

And a focus on some of the details

I used some of the confetti left from punching the Core'dinations cardstock elsewhere on the layout

 I used Cosmic Shimmer to mist and colour the leaves and flower.

To alter the American Craft Thickers I used a green Sharpie pen to add dots.

I used the following for this layout:

Papermania Cardstock - Peach
DCWV - The Guilded Orchid (from a stack)
October Afternoon - Hometown - Norm's News
Core Impressions Jenny Bowlin Collection - Red Spots

Here in my Heart

This is a photo of my husband on one of our many visits to the Lake District (UK).

I wanted to scrap this photo as he has such a relaxed and wistful look on his face. He is looking across a lake with is back against a tree. The inspiration for this layout was a challenge from Scrap it with a Song
using lyrics from the song - My Heart will go On by Celine Dion.

I also used the following sketch from Page Maps.

as well as the following challenge from CSI - Color Stories Inspiration
I just love their challenges

I used the items highlighted:

EVIDENCE (CHOOSE AT LEAST 2)

• Use stars - embellishments, paper with stars, etc.
• Use glass or transparent elements or glass-like elements.
• Use liquid mediums (e.g., paints, mists, Glossy Accents, inks, etc.).
• Add something that sparkles or shines (or use glitter or Stickles).
• Use a solid color in the background.
• Use the composition of the image to inspire the design of your page.
• Cut a slit in your embellishment to let it sit on the edge of an element.

TESTIMONY (CHOOSE AT LEAST 1--You need to have some sort of journaling for your page; not just a title, please)

• The Star of the Show: Who's the star of the pictured event and why?
• Stars: List the cast and identify their roles in the event.
• Tell three quirky factoids about your subject (as inspired by the 3 drinks).
• Write your journaling in the form of a recipe.

Inspiration words: stellar, indulge, effervescent -- these are meant as jumping off points for your journaling--not just titles (though you certainly can use these as your title; just please also have a story of some sort for your page).

I hope you like my creation and remember...

A day without scrapping is like a day without sunshine!

On the Road

 

This is my son sat by the side of a road on a trip we took many years ago.

Sadly, I have no idea where the photo was taken, but I have always loved this photograph. He looks so chilled and relaxed and I think he looks like a he is posing for a clothing catalogue.

I used this colour palette from the Colour Room #99 alongside an open challenge from Sketches in Thyme and used a sketch from Sketch Savvy.   The sketch is shown below.

Hope you like what I have created.

I day without sunshine is like a day without scrapbooking!
