{Stash} Masters Entry ~ Challenge 1 ~ 5x7 photo with eye contact

Hey, hey my scrappy friends!! 

So, following on from my first post with Challenge #2 here is my entry for Challenge #1. Using a 5" x 7" inch photo with eye contact.

Here is my page

My blurb that got sent in with my entry

"This photograph was specifically taken to tell these stories/record these quotes. The photograph and stories are from when he was 4 years old and I just love hearing his logic and seeing parts of this world through his eyes! This kid is a cracker and I am both excited and terrified of the young man he will grow into! I chose this range because to me it speaks of the everyday. The extraordinary, average day to day that is life. I love the graphic design and the challenge it presented to me to work with it with lots of clean lines, white space and pops of colour."

Some close up shots

And my products list

No process video for this one. This one I went back and forth with for AGES and just couldn't make any decisions. I adore this collection, the clean, graphic lines but oh boy I struggled!! I do, once again, love how this page came together in the end and am excited to include it in Hunter's album!

Until next time, happy scrapping!

{Stash} Masters Entry ~ Challenge #2 ~ Vintage

Hey, hey my scrappy friends!! I have a short and sweet blog post for you today and as the title suggests it is one of my entries for what was The Scrapbooking Memories Masters competition in 2017. Who knows what has happened but I though I would edit the 2 videos I took and share my pages, so here is the first share.

This was for challenge #2 - create a vintage inspired page. I REALLY, like SERIOUSLY, struggled with this but am happy with my end result!

Here is  my page

And here is the blurb I sent in with my entry.

"This page was a real challenge for me; I was out of my comfort zone! I chose this photo of my grandparents because I just love it and what better way to scrap vintage style than with a vintage wedding photo?! I’ll be honest I did search for some inspiration and saw lots of creams & browns, lace & pearls and pretty florals so went searching in my stash for supplies. I pulled out a bunch of things that I had forgotten about and loved challenging myself to get some used up! This is too bulky for an album but it will definitely go on display!"
