This is the start of an inspiration patch, where I hope that fellow scrappers and creators will come and find some inspiration, or even leave some inspiration for me.

Enjoy the Simple Life - 7 Dots Studio Oct/Nov Challenge

Hello Everyone

I hope that you had a good weekend and also found some time to scrap.

Yesterday was an overcast and cool day and so was the perfect day to do some scrapping.  I completed a page for the 7 Dots Studio Challenge here. The challenge is about Textures.



So here is my take on it.


This is a page of my sweet boy...just doing the simple things, like riding his bike, playing with the dogs and just being outside. Here he had stopped for 1 min to check something on his hand....and then he was off again, tearing up the grass and the garden , and playing with the dogs.

I have some journalling on the back of the page.

I used the Love is in the Air and Illumination collections. They were so super for this boy page.


Here's a close up of the layers, gesso, watercolouring and stamping.


I added some string for extra texture and then a bottle cap for a different texture altogether.


The photo corners were also heat embossed with Rangers Distress powder - Weather Worn. This gave them a nice rough texture too.

Thanks so much for stopping by!
I really do so love your visits.
Have a super evening!
Denise x
