Onwards and Upwards part 2

With so many ideas I had to relate some to scrapping, the first page is another for the Antigua album which is almost completed now.  I took inspiration from using lots of yellow (not a colour I am very fond of and therefore rarely seem to scrap with, but loving it on this page) and also went a little bit hybrid and used some Studio Calico from the NSD giveaway that I used on my Olympic pages here.


This is also my UKS weekly challenge which was to use the sketch below, 5 patterned papers and at least 5 lines of journalling.


The next page I tried was something a bit different from me and I took general inspiration from Jennifer just to try something new.  I used black patterned paper as my base, again black is a colour I don't really like, but again it seems to work well. I also used a larger square photo taken on my camera using the retro camera app which is different to my usual photos too. Specifically though I did add all the gems, sequins and buttons as a direct tribute to Jennifer's sparkly style here.  Also did you notice both this photo and the last one feature clouds???



My third LO is completely different for me again as I took Jennifers ideas literally and combined the idea for using a detailed die cut object or paper doily with combining a woodgrain background with something pretty to make this page about the Hibiscus flower growing in Antigua.

    Love the polaroid frame used in the centre of the photo to highlight a specific area **runs off with that idea**

    I really like the way you have incorporated the stamp to match your lovely flower photo - so interesting visually with the wood grain background.

    Ooh, brilliant, these are all so great! I love the yellow title and brads/enamel dots on the first page, it really pops out! The bold black page is so striking and of course I love the sparkle! The final page totally captures me too, I think I'm going to scraplift this one from you - I love that huge doily and the coral and green colours against the woodgrain.

    Thanks so much for entering the challenges! x
