This weekend I tried out the current challenge from a blog called Scrap around the World. Taking inspiration from this  mood board and sketch.....

This is the page I made.....

Obviously I took a huge amount of inspiration from the various camera images on the mood board, cutting out the large vintage camera image from an Echo Park sheet of paper and colouring some wooden camera veneers grey.  Although I didn't use any of the pastels I added the pale blue, green and red colours, taken directly from the images shown.  I loved the sketch and although it took a bit of fiddling I hand cut each of the banner pieces across the top and also the ones under the photograph that form the title 12.12.12 at 12:12 a historic date and time that had to be captured on camera!  

I need to add some journalling as I want to write how important it was to take the photo at the right time and I only noticed the time as I was paying my bill at the hairdressers so quickly pulled out the camera and snapped this pic (which goes well with the whole camera theme) and my hairdresser Andrew joined in!  I realised I must have been in a hurry as if you look closely you can see I did my coat up wrong!

I really enjoyed this challenge with lots of cutting and sticking and planning.  I am looking forward to seeing what challenge 3 at Scrap around the World is..... go and have a look!
