Another one of my pages based upon the prompts from the Pretty Paper Party over at Shimelle's - the prompt was Kraft + 1 - so mine is kraft and yellow....and looking at it now it looks quite honeycomb like!! So a mix of papers here - some Cosmo Cricket Social Club, Jillibean Soup, Echo Park and October Afternoon (the hexagons were inspired by the Cosmo Cricket website - and funnily enough kind of fit with Shimelle's prompt today). The hexagons are 2.5" and I made a little template (not perfect and cut them out, then sanded them with my pedicure tool :) I stitched around them and added some extra stitching on a few. The background to my kraft is a wash of cosmic shimmer yellow and some orange too (I taped my paper down when I did this so it didn't crinkle too much and painted it on with a brush). I arranged most of my pieces and the 2 photos and then stuck some of the hexagons down with 3D foam, next came the embellishment adding - which really is a random collection of things I had from American Crafts, studio calico tags, cosmo cricket, shell from the beach, some bakers twine. The alpha is American crafts and the brown is Lime Twist.
The photo's are from my summer holiday....I have LOTS still to scrap and most of them are on the beach :) I love both these pics - the body boards were a great investment.
I also have some exciting news - It's a Creative World is starting up again and I get to join a wonderful group of ladies and inspire you all with different projects and ideas. You can pop over and see the Design Team and some of the projects already created so you can see the sort of inspiration that will be in the posts.
LOVE this!!! :)
