NSD Challenges

So obviously throughout the week I had to make more pages and the next challenge I tried was to make a mood board, a totally new concept to me, I guess I do get inspiration and ideas from various places and media but have never tried putting anything together before.  I collected some things on pinterest but had also got ideas and my scraplifted page from the Scrapbook Remix Class that I am retaking at the moment so I wasn't able to pin any of those. The power of 3 challenge is also met in this LO although I could have put almost any page up for this challenge as I am definitely a cluster of 3 kinda girl these days! This is another Harry Potter page talking about wigs and make up from the films.

Next up keeping in the HP theme was a page created from a themed Harry Potter scrapbook paper.  This proved a challenge in itself to use as it had a large picture on the paper and made placement of my photos really difficult.  So I cut the paper up, removing the picture completely (hoping I will use it elsewhere in my HP album) and remodelled it so there are actually 3 pieces of the original, stuck back together slightly differently. I needed to fill some gaps so used an embossing folder to create the coggy journalling card, some cog dies to fancy cut  (another challenge) some cogs and gears, I kinda fussy cut the photos to get rid of distracting background colours, punched a few stars, photocopied something on the printer and used up a 3d border sticker that I have had forever....all stuck onto a heavy weight gruesome patterned paper that I would never have used!  So I definitely 'stretched my stash' as this was the ultimate stash buster for tools and paper goods as I used lotsa scraps too.
