SCRAPTASIA

I took a series of photos of my son going across an obstacle in a playground.  These made for a great panoramic LO.  I used brads to make arrows going in the direction of travel.  Metallic paints on a make up sponge makes a good element on plain cardstock and helps to create that chaotic feel.

This was my first LO where I used a friends Cricut (Thanks Lara!).  What a fabulous toy...if you can find someone with one it is really worth playing with.  I went for a real Americana theme with the colours here and used ribbon stapled to the page as flag type elements.

This was an easy LO.  I just layered the papers I wanted to use and then continued the white lines and cirles on the papers on to the photos with a white pen.  This makes the photos one with the papers.

This was so much fun to do.  It came on a day when I didnt know what to scrap so I decided to 'lift' a LO I saw on another website.  I used all my stock of little flowers and bling on this.  And yes that is a boy!  The hair has all gone now...so sad.

With this LO I decided to a different take on the heritage look.  The photo was adjusted to black and white rather than sepia and I decided to touch up the look with a little lime.  I still used heritage styled items such as a handmade lace and a paper doillie that I cut down.  I used buttons but went for a modern style with the polka dots and then painted a chipboard flower black and added polka dots.
