Off the Rails - Black & White Plus 1

The weather has turned a little grey and wet today.... guess it's a perfect day to hide away in my scraproom and do some creative work. Here is my layout for this month's reveal at Off the Rails.

I chose red as it was the colour of Aaron's shirt (not just because it was in the moodboard!). My layout is based on a sketch from Creative Scrappers out of the new sketch book that I won a few months back.

The big stars on this layout I made by colouring some paper red with oxide inks and then stamped with a new carabelle stamp set I have. I scattered a few other stars and stickers around.

I wanted to stamp the date on my page and ended up doing it upside down on my first stamp.... grrr. So now what? Well I just turned it into a feature by overstamping the date randomly around the page and so now it looks like it was meant to be! A very quick fix.

Oh another funny thing on this page.... I cut the triangles for the black corners, stuck everything down and only when I did my hand sewing did I realise that the numbers on the black paper are upside down... hehehehe. Oh well maybe it was just meant to be!

Come play along on the blog and get inspired.

Creative Scrappers - layouts

During December there was a giveaway on Instagram from Creative Scrappers for the newest sketch book which was released around my birthday. I really really wanted a copy of this book but the exchange rate was horrid at that time. So I entered the giveaway and then won it! Yip wishes do come true.

So now I have 100 new sketches to work through to help me get my photos onto pages. I started on the 30th of December and promptly scrapped three pages.

Here's to lots more layouts being created from these sketches during 2018.
