Ssshhh! Pretend you haven't seen me here for WOYWW 'kay? I'm supposed to be doing my 'novel in a month' for NaNoWriMo but it isn't going terribly well so I decided to take a little bit of time out and join in with the Wednesday fun.
Of course I missed the ideal window of opportunity with which to take my photo so you've got a nice shade of yellow to the picture today.
You can see the scrapbook page I finished off in the middle there for the album towards the top of the pic. You can also see the 2013 diary page which has fallen out of my Festive Planner which you will be able to see if you pop back on Friday for the Frosty Festivities blog hop.
Here's the finished page. Although the lettering took a while I'm really pleased with it. Upcycling + memory recorded + page I love = what its all about. I actually experimented with using some Mod Podge and some ordinary PVA to stiffen the fabric prior to cutting. I found that there wasn't THAT much of a difference so if you fancy giving it a go without forking out for Mod Podge then that's another option for you.
The hexagons are an idea that I Pinned from JimJams - thank you! Another memory of Aller Farm scrapped and I am still really loving all of this album and the way it is flowing. Crafting makes me happy :-)
What's on your desk this week? Don't be afraid to link up, whatever the state of your desk or your mind ;-)
Bye for now

Lovely desk and great layout. I haven't started my novel yet, need to get a wiggle on! x
ReplyDeleteIt's funny I was just going to say my friend Jo is joking in writing a novel lol.
ReplyDeleteLove that LO..the colours are gorgeous especially the denim letters. And isn't it amazing how the twine really adds to the effect? LOve that!

What's on my desk? A patchwork-y type page which has blues and greens on it! I did mine with a postage stamp punch..now I'm thinking I might have to up the ante and try hexagons :) Lovely
ReplyDeleteFantastic scrap page, love the colours you've chosen. Hugs. Pam#37
ReplyDeleteThat's a great scrapbook page. The hexagons put me in mind of an old quilt.
