My scrapping mojo has definately gone AWOL in the heat, but I had seen a sketch over at PAGE DRAFTS.....
...that I liked, and which linked to the Sketch Challenge over at GRANDDIVA'S CREATIVE CORNER

Here's a close-up of the layered embellishment I made, which allows me to enter the LO in the August Challenge at ROCHELLE SPEARS BLOGSPOT

I used chipboard, twine and a button
The journalling is hidden behind the photograph, and is copied from the Storytelling Sunday blogpost....it can be seen by pulling the date tab.
I just have to mention that this beautiful embellishment....

was handmade by, and sent to me by the lovely MITRA.
I hope you're having a great weekend...and are feeling a bit more creative than I am!
Thanks for dropping by!
Take care of you

ReplyDeletelovely Alison, I seem to have lost the desire to scrap at the moment.
ReplyDeleteWe're just about to think about getting the BBQ out - yes the sun has arrived here! so creativity has gone out the window for now. It's lovely to see you scrapping a Storytelling Sunday story. I'll pin it to the Pinterest board immediately :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely layout - I especially like the embellishment in the lower right part of the page.

I have yet to scrap a story from STS, but I really should. I like your take on the sketch as you took all the best parts of it. I need to find my mojo too, maybe after this weekend I shall warm up the craft space and sit down to play :-)
ReplyDeleteI find sketches always help when I am a bit stuck. You have made a lovely page from this sketch and I love that embellishment.
ReplyDeletehow good to see a sts layout scrapped and a wonderful one too. I need to do some of mine!! x
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean about the weather & scrapping mojo - its like its been sapped right out of me. Your layout looks lovely!
ReplyDeleteI smile every time I see this photo of your family! It is so awesome. What beautiful embellishments and colors! Great job!

ReplyDeleteI love the layout, Alison, yay for you getting STS scrapped!

ReplyDeleteThere is such lovely detail in that handmade embellishment - you are lucky to have it for your page, it looks great!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful layout!
ReplyDeleteLovely layout Alison! Still chuckling at your shoe saga :))))) Mitra sent me one of those beauties too!! Lush they are!!!
ReplyDeleteI just love this layout Alison, so pleased you did a layout to record yoru wonderful story :) xx
ReplyDeleteIt's interesting that your story inspired the layout. It seems you usually post either the story the layout tells or why you did the layout (a page map or a scrapping challenge, for example). Regardless of the inspiration, your pages are always fun to look at and I do really like the embellishments you used on this one.
ReplyDeleteGreat job with the sketch - your layout turned out fantastic. That is a lovely handmade embellishment from Mitra - it caught my eye right off!
