Scrap That Imperfect Photo

How many of you have looked at a photo and though I would love to do something with it but it is not quite right and you love it any way. Part of someones head is cut off, they are not looking at the camera, the photo is blurry or someone is partially covered this is the photo that you need to use if you want to join in the challenge at Scrap It With Attitude.

Scrap It With Attitude are lucky enough to have some wonderful sponsors for our challenges and this challenge is no exception. The sponsor is Imaginarium Designs.

Chipboard is such an amazing medium to work with ... perfect for Scrapbooking pages, projects, cards and so much more. Our designers are everyday Scrapbookers and Cardmakers who work in the Papercraft industry and design Chipboard specifically for everyday projects. We make sure that every design is perfect and fits pages and cards as it should! We design and produce Chipboard everyday and pride ourselves in custom service and unique designs - nothing is too small or too hard!

I had this idea in my head that I need to get out as I knew which photo I was going to use for the challenge. I love the final result.

I have added a close up of the flower cluster as I wanted to show you want you can do with Vellum and Spectrum Noir Alcohol Pens. I was not sure if I could colour the vellum but I gave it a go and this is the result and I love it.

Feathers,keys and hearts

I don't participate in many swaps but just recently I took part in an ATC (Artist Trading Card) Swap. The theme was open, we could do anything that we liked.

Ages ago I brought a packed of ATC size Sticky back canvas and I finally decided to use it. It is wonderful stuff you can do anything to it and it still sticks.

I coloured and stamped the sticky back canvas with distress inks, the piece of material was coloured with dylusion spray inks, the heart was coloured with distress stain, and gelatos and the piece of paper with the quote was also coloured with distress ink. Lots of messy goodness in this ATC.

Challenge Pack

It is not very often that I actually create something for me, but 2 weeks ago I created a layout.

My local scrapbook store Create on Ormond has challenge packs that you can purchase at the beginning of the month and then you can take the completed design back to the store for a little show and tell and be in the running to win a prize.

The instructions said that we had to include a piece of everything that was included in the pack. A sketch was also provided. Well I can see where my layout came from but I may have changed it a bit too much, oops, oh well it was fun.
