So seeing I have been on a beautiful Fijian Holiday my challenge is.............. to use these colours
Yep I am still in Tropical mode. You can use the colours anyway you like. The only criteria is for journalling. And now to introduce to you our Guest Designer for the month...... The Beautiful....... Lizzy Hill !
My name is Lizzy Hill & I began
scrapping in 2009 after coming home from a trip overseas. Mum encouraged me to
‘give it a go’ as a way of getting my photos sorted. It opened up a whole new
world which I just adore. Blogging seemed to be a natural extension of
scrapping – thus I’ve managed to combine a whole pile of ‘loves’ - photography,
writing & scrapping!
My style is madly eclectic. I’ll give
anything a go & I LOVE the ‘love’ of belonging to this Scrappy
Community…blog hops & challenges are such fun! There’s nothing like getting
a scrappy surprise in the mail – this extends me, ‘cos I like to use what I’m
sent….so I have to move outside my ‘safety zone’. And I think that always helps us grow as
scrappers!
I scrap cards & OTP’s [off the page
projects] as well as layouts. I don’t consider myself artistic – but I do
really enjoy colour combinations. That may come from my dim, dark past as a
hairdresser! I was also an English teacher…but my boys are grown up, I have my
first grand-child [see LO!] & I’m pretty much enjoying the good life these
days. Not complaining at all…
I’ve been on the Design Team over at Scrap Friends for around 6 months –
it’s my first serious ‘gig’ & that’s been a learning curve that I’ve really
enjoyed.
I’ve also been published in Scrapbooking
Memories quite a bit this year, as well as winning a few online competitions.
That’s all given me an extra bit of confidence in my scrapping. Sometimes
layouts go together really easily – sometimes they fight me every inch of the
way….the layout I’m sharing with you today was the former. And I’ve used a few
‘different’ ideas that you might like to give a go.
See the Purple Pumpkin button? I’ve chopped
it in half…this idea came from the lovely Chantelle. My
scissors didn’t like the idea very much, but my wallet did!
There’s a flower tucked underneath. It’s made
of paper towel – the stuff from the kitchen. I often use this when I’m misting
– which I did for the top ‘sea blue’ flower [which is die cut from old
packaging!]…saw the outline on the paper towel & decided to cut it out...it
looked too nice to waste!
And I thought of another idea for Washi
tape [which I LOVE] – threaded it through the little heart! The glassine bag
holds my journaling.
This was a FUN challenge to do – I’m sure
you’ll find it will be too. Hope to see lots of you joining in this month with
the lovely ladies here at Orange Paperie & Co!
