A lot of crafters are doing 'word of the year' type projects at the moment. I thought about picking a word but I don't think the time is right (because of the M.E.) so I'm keeping it in mind for next year. I do keep thinking of the word listen though.
It keeps popping in to my mind. I thought I would do an art journal page using 'listen' but I had an urge to scrap. I had in my head that the two wouldn't mix so I decided just to scrap. I chose a sketch to follow...
...and started looking through photos to find one that would work. I came across this photo and thought that the two (listen and scrapping) would in fact work together.
I've had these white frame stickers hanging around for years - they needed to be used. I used some red buttons for CR. I used
And some brand new stamps. Love the set, there is a lace doily, a few rings and some writing.
Entering in to:
Scrap Friends - I used the sketch.
ABAC - Balance. (I found the balance between word of the year/listen/urge to scrap and I achieved Balance 1-b stability of ones feelings. This challenge had been going around in my head and I had been wondering what to make for it... hopefully I'll be back with some more art too. Great theme!)
open minded crafting fun - new toys - I used my new stamp set :)
Thanks so much for stopping by

Thanks so much for joining us at the Anything But A Card challenge this month! I love your layout, the red buttons just pop against the black and white, and I think listen is a great word. Thanks again, Becky (DT)
ReplyDeleteThank you for your complement regarding our theme Laura...I know it stretched us resulting in such diversity.
ReplyDeleteYour layout is so elegant and delightfully put together I think Listen is an excellent word choice.
We appreciate you joining in with our challenge and hope to see you again at Anything But A Card!
This is a delightful layout. I love the pop of red and the additional textural element you introduced with the thread. Listen is a perfect word to use and something that needs to happen more often at times. Love the cute photo. Thank you for playing in our challenge at Anything But A Card. Hope we see more of your art work here. Cheers, Di
ReplyDeleteFabulous layout Laura - I love the textures you have created in the background and your subtle colouring with just that pop of red! Thanks for joining us at ABAC this month - well in fact last month! I am very late in managing to get to some of the entries! Jennie

ReplyDeleteI love your interpretation of our challenge Laura! Your scrap page is beautifully balanced and I love the link between the photo you've used and the word! A really creative and well thought out piece.
