Another freaking Scrappy Challenge

February Sketch challenge


I have to admit, I was attracted to the name Another freaking Scrappy Challenge and then when I read their blog I fell in love with what they believe and how they play. Then I realised there was only 4 hours until their Mr Linky closed!!!!!

So I made a stagger to the studio on a Saturday morning to try and get a piece in on time. And I made it!!


This is my take on the sketch and their philosophy of "all about me". Their Bio reads;

WE ENCOURAGE YOU TO SCRAP ABOUT YOURSELF SO THAT THOSE YOU LOVE WILL KNOW MORE ABOUT YOU AND YOUR MEMORIES.  HOWEVER, THE WHOLE IDEA IS INSPIRATION.


This to me is what scrapbooking is all about. The stories, the recording for future generations. Well this is me! and I'm a dreamer, a drama queen and a crafty creature who always has her head in the clouds.



The sketch....... also a gem!


Yes. yes I know it's back to front. I flipped it. For some unknown reason I can only scrap with large piece on the left and little piece on the right. A little bit of OCD I think.


I think you'll agree this page depicts my statement about me well LOL!

Seriously. I have know idea what I used on this LO. I whipped it up literally with what scraps and bits I had sitting in front of me on my table. I think some Kaszazz papers are in their. Definitely the wing is Tim Holtz grunge board. The chippies are Um Wow Studio and of course I've used Dylusions Ink Sprays and Distress Inks because I always do.

I am a dreamer but you know what, i'm also a doer! Go figure LOL!



And I "Always have my head in the clouds" hence the journalling I hand wrote on this page.

I hope you've enjoyed looking at my challenge piece. I really enjoyed piecing it together.

Another big shout out to ANOTHER FREAKING SCRAPPY CHALLENGE because I reckon they're awesome XXXX

Cheers
Fiona

  3. Yep. It's a beauty...I''m GLAD you're joining in over there - they have fab ideas about scrapping yourself..if you want, of course! And I try ON PURPOSE not to always scrap L-R....just cos it is hard not to!! I think it's to do with our 'construct' as a society...we read from L-R......stage plays are set up in the same way.....they'll use 'good' happenings to occur L-R, but if they want to bring in evil, or upset you, or get you feel uncomfortable...they'll do R-L, cos it's not 'right' in our way of thinking!!! Yeah, ex-English teacher......love 'trivia' like that!!!! ANyways, LOOOOVE your hearts & the wings & the BLUE...gorgeous:)

I also love what you wrote about yourself. now, how about challenging yourself and scrapping the other way (big one one on the right/small one on the left)?....

The only artist you should ever compare yourself to is the one you were yesterday.
