Saturday scrapping

Back to some simple scrapping... still working through the packet of photographs from October 2013:



I'm joining in with the August challenge at ARTastic:


I took inspiration from the general whimsical feel of the picture, and the beautiful blue sky. I added some fussy cut birds (Basic Grey Lime Rickey - Howdy Doody pp) for interest, and drew some black pen line borders.

++++++++++++++++

A layout based on a sketch at Mystical Scrapbooks:



Materials
Dream Street Baylee's Garden - Telling Stories patterned paper
Becky Higgins Project Life - Jade Edition patterned paper
Studio Calico Story Time - Nighty Night patterned paper
Dear Lizzy Polka Dot Party - Grand Garland patterned paper
Paper doily
Becky Higgins Project Life - It's a Man's World journal card
Orange bling flowers (RAK gift)
Prima Meadowlark textured canvas alphabets

  4. I love the zany birdies, the minimal colour palette and the doodly edging. And using a close up pic with a more far away one was a great idea.
