Scrapping with scraps

On Friday I did a little tidy up of the embellishment box and it reminded of all the lovely stash I have and that I need to pull that out and not just grab new stash. I also put away the concertina folder that has paper scraps in sorted by colour and decided to pull together some scraps to make a page!

As you can see from above I went for an orange and turquoise theme and I grabbed a picture that is a collage of pics of the charcuterie board my daughter made for us the weekend before Christmas.

I gave myself a vague layout to start with and then using gesso through a stencil I added some mixed media. The background was a piece of the 12×12 summer collection pad from Kingston Crafts but it is a solid colour and I loved the coral/orange colour.

I got this far on Friday morning and then left it as it was to dry whilst I popped over to Manchester to take M back to uni and have some lunch there before coming home!

Once home I finished off … I fussy cut those lovely leaves from the patterned paper and layered things up. I then spent a while going through the pouches of embellishments (most which are lollipop box club kits or bramble fox club kits) and adding in things I think worked.

I also grabbed some very old alpha stickers for the yum title!

I love all the textures and bits of interest on this page which is very much ‘thrown’ together.

I added my journalling towards the bottom and made sure I added the date into the page too.

Where I had added the tag at the top I added some twine and looped it to come down the right hand side with some carefully applied glue underneath elements to keep it in place.

Really enjoyed putting this non-person focused page together and using up old papers and bits of stash!

So this is an extra page done for my scrapbook and I’m sharing it on a Monday not a Saturday! This is in part because I already have a page done and ready to post for next Saturday and also because today I start my new job so I think it highly unlikely I will get any crafting done today so this is a much needed get ahead and ready on the blog kind of post!

Happy crafting!
