LOAD216 Day 17

Wednesday's prompts are culture and today it is museum.

Would you know it, I used my museum picture yesterday. So today I went rouge.  For  LO 1 I used this sketch  from Scrap Much? It is a Sketch-y Friday Challenge with B-team.


42-2016
Here is my take. I kept very close to the sketch, I wanted to be quick today (ha ha that seems to be impossible with me). I struggled as to where to put the journaling. I could have tucked it again (I think I do that a lot) but I had everything sewed or stuck on real good when I got to the journaling point. I typed  a sentence or two on strips and shopped them around. Everywhere I laid them it took away from the diagonal line so I stuck them on the diagonal strips. Win win.



Supply list:
Dear Lizzy-2 documentary papers, Amy Tan- The sweet life, Amy Tan- Stitched, Amy Tan Thicker words-Twins, Tim Holtz Distress ink Firebrick, Tim Holz burlap stencil, Ellie's Studio- Cienna Happy Moments vellum, Heidi Swapp washi book, HS color shine Black velvet and pink.


For LO 2, again off prompt, I found this picture of my brother's family at the top of my Dropbox folder. It has been there since 2012.

I knew the title as soon as I printed the picture and laid eyes on my nephew. I had a design in my head that I was going for but that "Happy" was too yummy not to use. But it is big, very gold, very glittery and that changed everything. Now it could not be a small title, it needed other big words to look right.  I am happy with the title. 

To spread the glitterly gold around the LO I sewed sequins in a strip for about 25 minutes, those things are crazy jumpy - ugh. But it was perfect for glittery effect! The Foam Glittery heart at the bottom completes the triangle and that triangle frames the picture.




I am not sure I am done with it yet, I am leaving it like you see it for now but I am leaving it on my scrap-desk to make sure.
