Explore, Dream, Discover

 
Hi,

The challenge at “Scrap the Boys” for February is “The Great Outdoors”, and the words explore, dream, discover as inspiration.
The word prompts explore, dream, discover are at the heart of one of my favorited pass times, camping and traveling in our caravan. We just love to discover new places, explore this great country we live in and when we are home we are dreaming of our next adventure.
With that in mind I just had to scrap this photo I took while we were Kayaking and fishing for “Red Claw” on a recent camping trip.
I had lots of fun creating my mixed media background, layering tissue paper and book paper with gesso, then adding texture paste, and using a variety of stencils.
I hope you like my take on the challenge, thanks for looking and leaving your comments.

HI, The prompt at Scrap the Boys for June is “In Stitches”, one of my favourite things to add to layouts is stitching, both machine and hand stitching. I have used colour burst powders to create this wildly colourfully background, and then used a few different stencils and stamps over the top.   I have added a few rows of machine stitching and a star embellishment which is also machine and hand stitched. Hope you like my take on the sketch, thanks for looking. Julie J http://scraptheboys.blogspot.com/

Memories of Paris

  Hi, The February Challenge at “White with 1”, was the colour “Sizzling Pink” including a great sketch as inspiration. When I saw the Eiffel Tower on the page map, I pulled out this photo of my daughter and son in law in Paris – the city of love. With the sketch as inspiration this is what I came up with.   I hope you like my take on this month’s challenge. I had fun creating it. Thanks for taking the time to look and leaving your comments.

Hi, I really liked the Country theme at ARTastic this month. It gave me the inspiration I needed to scrap this photo of my Granddaughter’s reflection in the s ide mirror of my friend’s ute. I have sprayed the background using a “Dusty Attic” Chipboard as a stencil, to mirror the fence line in the painting.   I have also reflected the colours on the painting in both the photo and my choice of papers. I wanted to keep the layout simple so the background become the hero. Hope you like my take on the challenge, I really enjoyed creating this page.
