Color Combos Galore 194 Challenge

After a busy weekend and week trying to unpack all my gear from attending a weekend retreat I finally had a chance to take a picture of my layout. This is very white space for me, and not my usual style. However since I couldn't take all of my bits and bobs with me I had to make do. I took these shots this morning so they are not the best.




I used a little bit of everything for this page, I covered the numbers in the date and the centre of the pin wheel is co-ordinations number cardstock. Papers used a from Cosmo cricket, Echo Park and some of the embellishments have been taken from a DCWV paper pack. I traced and cut the photo mat from another die cut shape I had and to bring the yellow in I did some stitching through the holes i had punched. I overlayed the photo with a 7Gypsy transparency. Other products used a dimensional pearls, ink, Pink Paislee and bazzill cardstock.

Thanks to all of those who dropped in and left comments whilst I was away on my retreat. This was a scrapbooking retreat that I organise for a group of us every year. We get 3 whole days of scrapping and all our feels cooked and have been doing this for about 6 years. Its a great opportunity just to scrap and not have to cook or clean. Mostly I worked on a mini album which is still not completed but it is 20 pages, hopefully I will have that up soon for you too look at.

Thanks for looking and for you lovely comments.

  5. You did beautifully with this one Fi! I am a big fan of white space!! I hate the packing & unpacking that goes in to time away scrapping - it seems to take longer than the time away!
