My Creative View: Send in the Clowns

Wednesday, July 23, 2014

Hooray! It has been so long since I have a done a page just for me! And not just one. I have two pages!

These papers are from a kit for a class I take monthly at my LSS. Not my favorite papers to work with so I decided to go a little out there. For some reason, the hexagon paper made me think of these clown photos from a visit to a Science and Industry museum several years ago. And for some reason, these papers work. I got the idea for the remaining product choices from Scrap Our Stash. I used 3 arrows, 3 buttons, washi tape, enamel dots, wood veneer and 3 stars.

This one is an idea I got from a class I'm taking at Creative Passion classes. It's the World Series of Scrapbooking. If you know me, you know hoe much I love baseball. How could I say no to this class?

The idea is based on a home run and running all four bases. In this case, creating a square on the page and adding an embellishment to all for corners. ok, so I have more of a rectangle, but it still works!

Thanks for taking a look at my creative view. Come back again soon. I have lots coming up that I'll be sharing.

Love both of these layouts, Devra. The clown one is so perfect for the photos and I love the way you cut the papers for the background! Great title and nice work with the shopping challenge. The second layout...awesome picks of Joshua. Love the product selection and the colors you chose to highlight them. Another home run!!
