PnT Scrap Challenge

We recently held a sketch scrap challenge at one of our crop sessions. Quite a few of the ladies participated, and posted some of the results on the Pics 'n Tales Facebook page.  This is the sketch that we used:

And this is my take on the challenge:

I used little bits of paper left over from many different projects, mixing and matching paper from different manufacturers. The photos were taken at Fairview farm back in 2010. I love how the red and green  (typical Christmas colours...), pics up the colours in the photos. The chevrons and buttons add a bit of fun - something every layout should have!

January class - unexpected treasures

When I found a stash of vintage books in a bookstore in Cape Town recently, I just had to have them... Ever found yourself in that situation? Regularly, I hear some say...

Anyway, what to do with a whole stack of small books, published in 1887? Create a class project, of course!!

At first, some of the girls were quite taken aback by the instruction to tear most of the pages out of the book, and then to procede with scrapping directly onto the book pages. But they soon got over that and started getting quite creative!

The idea was to scrap photos that were rather random - not taken specifically for a project. The result: a fun mini album with a vintage twist. Here are a few of the pages from my book:

 

 

 

 

 

 

There are about 20 more little double pages...
