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.

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!!

Jacob's vRoom Canvas/Scrap 365

I got the very eagerly awaited awatied 1st issue of Scrap 365 yesterday (I would have had it earlier but I've been poorly, sob sob.)   Within the first few pages I was inspired.

On page 6 there is an article called 'Splish Splosh' by designer Mahlin Wiggur.  As soon as I saw it I thought oooh-I like it, I like it.  I have been meaning to put some layouts on stretched canvases for a while and decided to do it for this crafty effort.

My grandson loves anything with wheels on, especially cars and bikes so I decided to use this photo for his door plaque.  I got out my shimmer sprays and paints and had a good time.  I also used Snowtex for a bit of texture under the title.

I really enjoyed making this for my grandson, I sure hope he likes it.
