The first challenge was to use two different sticker lines on the same page. I used some 7 Gypsies stickers on here and also some Sassafras Lass stickers. I have been struggling to scrap these photos all year. I've attempted it a couple of times before, but when I matched papers to the photo it ended up looking like a really dull page. The vibrant blue background has totally lifted the design.
I used the stickers as inspiration to add some stitching to the page too. This page was also inspired by the very talented designer Michelle from the Sassafras Lass Design Team. Check out this post here to see her page which inspired mine. I love her painty details and the layering.
Here's the next page, which was based on Shimelle sketch here. I can't help but get my paint out now when I scrapbooking...
I dipped some string into acrylic paint...
I discovered pressing down the string with fingers gets a bit messy, but placing a sheet of scrap paper over the top and then pressing down works best.
I repeated the process again to get this...
My six year old had a go at the sketch challenge too...
The journalling reads..." I love my mum so much one day I think I will bang".
