A LO Challenge

This is the layout that I've done for the second part of Lea's challenge over at Charmed Craft Talk.

The challenge was to pick a colour from the photo you were using & use just that colour for the LO, also to use stamping on your LO.

So I chose the red from the sign in my photo, then cropped the photo & printed out the sign slightly larger so that it was prominent & readable. I used my new monkey stamp - isn't he cute? I used my Sizzix dies to cut the frame round the photo (from vellum paper so I use vellum glue to stick) & for the flourishes as well which reminded me of the jungle vines as they curl ......................

See the monkey in the corner? The journaling is on the back :-)

As you can see here!

First scrapping attempt

Thought I'd show you my first ever scrapbook page. I've managed to do 3 pages so far :-) but this was the first.



The title lettering was cut using the cuttlebug & sizzix alphabet (borrowed from our Craft Club Sticky Fixers) & the daughter/dad was metal lettering that I bought when in Oz a few years ago now - it's the sort that can be strung onto ribbon to make necklaces. I used coloured vellum over the journaling & under the title to balance & tore the edges for more interest.
