Let's Get Shabby Challenge #48

 

 Let's Get Shabby Challenge #48

Its all about foliage greenery …. leaves and plant-form…. So long as its green!  

Of course you can add anything else in any type of project you like

(as long as its got paper/scrapbooking of sorts in it!)

It’s not about just using the colour green without foliage.

 

 

 

Loved creating this especially in this little vintage book for Hannah.

I'm hoping to fill it bit by bit with little quotes

 

 

 

 

Hope you can join us...

HERE!

 

 

Here are some links to the other pages in this little book so far...

Hopefully these pages will make her smile when she needs one

 

 



The Background Stucture of my Sketch LO.....

 

 

 

I thought it might be an idea to show how I put together my sample Sketch LO for July...

It's  main features are the washi tape, splotches and sewing (other than photos of course- big smile)

 

 

 

 

Adhere the strips of washi tape.  (I took a vertical orientation) This is Tim Holtz Tissue tape - its a bit porous and will soak up some of the liquid.  Just using an eye dropper - put it into any spray mist you might have...or a watercolour paint mix  that you could easily make up yourself - and then drop from a height randomly.  This will make great big slotches! 

 

 

 Dry off  with a heat gun (not too close to the washi tape though)

 

Once the mist was dry, the sewing machine did the rest by running up and down the edges of the washi tape.   It doesn't necessarily have to be machine stitched - an alternative would be to use a ruler and black pen to give the edges definition too. 





 



 

 

Add a bit of zigzag for interest...

 

Here's the background structured....



 

 

 

 

More fun parts... add the photo and embellies......

 

 

 

The tattered edging is scrap paper torn from a spiral notebook, and the border is just drawn with a black pen

Fun in the SNow...... Project Life Weeks 13 & 14

 

At the moment life has been very busy so posts are very few. 

Work is enormously busy which should calm down by the end of next week...

The one lovely thing to happen amongst the mayhem here is having Julie and Asher come stay with us from Western Australia to cold Tasmania for the week.  The highlight has been our time at Cradle Mountain which turned on the biggest dump of snow (and freezing weather- but sunny!!)

Here are some of our photos...

 

 

 

 

 

 

What fun we had!!

PROJECT LIFE WEEKLY CATCH UP!

 

WEEK 13

Using a plastic page refill with a 12x6 section enables a freedom of using a variety of sizes with photos or embellishments and if especially you have a portrait orientated page and then have a landscape photo/s to be part of a set... this solves that problem.  I'm finding that while it's great to scrap whatever size or orientation of photos on the first side of a plastic page because you can pick an insert to fit, it may not suit the shape of the next set of photos once the page is turned over .  Sooooo, this is where the 6x12 space comes in really handy!
