SCRAPBOOK REMIX

SHIMELLE'S new online class SCRAPBOOK REMIX started this week. It aims to help us use our patterned papers (of which I have many!) .....I'm hoping to eat into my stash of old papers, as well as using some of my newer ones!!

 One of the suggestions in the first prompt was to make a layout using two colours of patterned paper. Using this sketch from July's PAGEMAPS, and rotating it to fit my photo.....


.....I came up with this layout


Shimelle suggested using a little pop of another colour, so I added a small purple flower in the top right corner


If you check back tomorrow, I'll be 'Passing the Book'...hope things are good where you are!

Thanks for dropping by!
Take care of you
Alison xx

    Great color choices for that photo. I've made a monochromatic layout so far & hope to make some more before I post next week about the class.

    Fantastic colour combo. Like Sian am thinking I should have signed up but then reality kicks in and I know I haven't the time at the moment.

    In the past yellow hasn't been one of my fav colours, but lately I seem to be using it all the time! Blue and yellow together make me think of summer picnics ... I wonder why that is?????? I think the pop of purple helps to draw your eye across the photo.
