This was one of those LO's where I had a solid idea of what I wanted to acheive but the LO just didn't want to agree with me. :( I had it half completed last weekend before putting it aside, decided I had to finish it today as it's the last day of the month and I wanted a fresh start for the April challenges. Photo is an old one from around 2007 I think.
I used the Scrapbooking From Scratch sketch for March as the starting point. Such a nice and simple sketch, it should have turned out really well.
I loved the colour palette for the Yummy Scrap over at ScrapFriends this month. The colours I used ended up a bit more muted than the sample picture though.
Lastly, Frosted Designs has a challenge this week of scallops. I have used my scallop punch along the top edge of the page.
Awesome. I think it looks fun and you have to keep trying new things or you won't know what does and doesn't work for you. But I think this still works. If you had not said it wasn't what you were aiming for I would never have known.
ReplyDeleteI think it looks fantastic and I love it! Great colours, and I love what you've done on that background paper...brings your eye into the centre of the layout/photo. Awesome job!
