It’s a Good Day! | A scrapbooking layout inspired by Shimelle
Happy special Sunday to you all out there! It is great to be back here, even if it is not really a regular thing; I am trying very hard!
About ten days ago I handed it my portfolio with my coursework I was working on the past 18 months – and as I haven’t heard back from my assessor, I assume it was all fine. It just needs to pass the IQA now and then this chapter of my life is ticked. Having no more coursework to work on means I have a bit more spare time for my scrapping, which always seems to brighten up my mood when I’m a bit down. I already knew that scrapbooking had this “side effect”, and at the moment I am using it intentionally for this reason.
Shimelle‘s “return” to the scrapping world this week came absolutely handy and I used her autumn scrapbook page as an inspiration for my two-photo-layout. I even used some patterned paper as the base which I haven’t done for… let me think…. ages!
As my two photos weren’t the size Shimelle’s photo was, I had to move it away from the edge, otherwise it would have been too unbalanced and quite right-sided. A few elements are similar to Shimelle’s, but I think I used her version more like a starting point and then scrapped on following my own ideas.
As I still have quite a lot of stickers, chipboards and other elements in my stash, I was able to combine all sorts of strips to my page; I think the wavy border has just waited to be used with these photos!
