All Wrapped Up

Decided to stop 'Journaling Your Christmas' on the 25th December as I really wanted to find some time to do other non-Christmassy projects. I took this photo last October when we had very unseasonal weather for autumn and have wanted to scrap it since. But with the snow theme and the welly colours I ended up using Christmassy colours again!

This layout ended up a very cheap project as only three different types of paper were used, the tag and snowflake were taken off separate Christmas gifts and the frame I made out of some corrugated cardboard I had hoarded away. I have a thing about corrugated cardboard as I like the distressed look it brings to a project. In this layout I ripped off the top layer of cardboard then used gesso to give it a whitewashed look. I was tempted to add some extra embellishments but restrained myself in the end.

Hello, welcome to The Little Blue Shed

Here's the inspiration to the blog name....my little blue shed. I completed the layout after waiting so long for a new shed (well second hand). It replaced a 18 year old plus shed that was practically falling down, though that would of been hard to believe if you had seen us trying to demolish it! It needed quite a lot of TLC and still needs a couple more coats of paint (to hide a hideous orange brown paint). Even so it's all mine now and I have great plans for it for the future....

I can't show you the full layout at the moment as hopefully it will be published in a well known scrapbooking magazine in the very near future.
