Good Monday morning everybody! We’re bracing for Hurricane Sandy here in New England – the kids have a day off and I think I’m going to convince them to spend the day crafting. I wanted to try something a little different this week and while perusing Pinterest I came across the following image/ad:
A little different, right? Definitely a change from the typical graphic ads I’ve used. I found a photo from my childhood and decided to use this as my inspiration. Im rather pleased with how it turned out. I’ve always been a fan of collage, it’s just not how I usually scrap.
I even channeled my inner Emily Pitts and stacked some chipboard letters for my title! I think it needs a little more of that deep teal of the title but I really wanted to post it this morning, especially since Sandy is bearing down and we could potentially lose power later. Fingers crossed that we don’t!
Stay safe where ever you are.
Another lovely page – and the collage works really well. Hoping that you do not suffer in the storm and keeping my fingers crossed for you.
I have my fingers crossed for you, Paula!
Love your ad-inspired collage with the Emily-inspired title.
Hey all right! Way to stretch that creativity muscle AND use up your stash. PLUS triple points for real paper and an extra bonus score for using an old photograph. Paula wins!!
Hope you’re safe and warm and dry.
