Hello,
Today you find me sharing a new layout for The Mad Scrapper Blog using photos of my husband doing his favourite thing Remote Control Sailing.
Are you like me and love the idea of joining in with the challenges on international scrapbooking day but never get the time to sit down and do any? But one thing I do do and that is to collect the design sketches ready to use when I can. That is what I have done here using the design by Kirei I do like her work and she inspires me.
So as always I started by gathering together things I thought I'd use. It is very hard to find papers for guys that do not include tools or cars but this time I knew I had a few sheets of 49 and Market- Summer Porch along with Bazzill basic in colours on the boat. I also used chipboard pieces from the collection too.
I started by sketching where the pieces would sit and then I made a paper pattern using copy paper this was because I only had a small piece of the blue hatch design but also I wanted the stripes all to go in the same direction. the red and yellow I used as mats are to match the corner patches on the sails.
I did use some distress ink to blend just under the edges of each piece along with the same ink through a dot stencil. Here you can see I have matted the photos on the same papers used one being the reverse of the stripe.
I added a few snippets and stars to fill in some areas along with another chipboard piece. Then I had the idea of fussy cutting hubby out of another photo and add him as if he is watching his boat sail. As the breeze picks up or dies down they change sails hence the different colours you see here. He has been sailing since late 2018 and has now progressed to making his own sails.
To finish off I added this lovely big persextive title and a few more stars
Thanks for stopping by, I do hope I have inspired you today and if you are stuck go back on Facebook and check out some of the great sketches from this year I'm sure one will kick start a layout for you. As always pop in to see Janine in the shop if you need help or sit back and check out The Mad Scrapper | The website has had a facelift and is looking very fresh now and is so easy to get about.
Sue.
