Last night I carved out some studio time. I wanted to play in my studio without any limitations or assignments and just have some fun. This scrapbook page is what emerged.
Monochromatic (mostly) and brown are not my usual style, but that's what happened and I'm delighted with how it turned out!
I used the mini Stacked Triangles stencil with some gold embossing paste to create the background.
The brown-ish embellishments were fun to make. I doodled the basic shapes and scanned the drawing into the ScanNCut. After the machine cut them out, I used a watermark ink pad and some Antiquities Embossing Powder to give them the cool textured finish you see.
The title was also cut with the ScanNCut — it's just my handwriting scanned in. After I cut it out, I painted it gold (to match the background triangles). Once I had glued it down, I felt like it didn't pop enough so I added a shadow with a blue marker. I feel like it has a nice pop now!
This layout looks super simple, but I spent a really long time making it. It actually reminded me a bit of when I first started scrapbooking and needed to make all of my own embellishments and such because I couldn't find them locally and it was the very beginning of the whole internet selling age. I had a lot of fun taking the time to make everything just what I wanted.
Thanks for stopping by!

Particularly like the pebbled-look finish on those brown-ish bits!

Awesome! This is exactly the kind of stuff I like to do… Making my own embellishments. It looks fab! And that ScanNCut sounds really easy to use. Is it easier/ more friendly to use than the Silhouette? Do you know?

I like the way you made “together” pop. I always hesitate to start outlining things or adding shadowing . You know, when you are almost done a piece and you don’t want to ruin it. But the more I practice it, the braver I get and the better the artwork looks.

I’m so glad that you showed a close up of the shapes that you doodled and cut out. Super wonderful texture.

You do have pretty cool handwriting!
I was wondering: Is it your handwriting that is used on your Project Life printables? I know there are sites that will convert one’s handwriting into a font.
My handwriting is pretty awful. I can’t even read it back!
Enjoying your posts every day!

Julie,
I just saw show #301 and I have always thought you were beautiful. As someone who has always struggled with my own weight, I noticed that you have lost weight and now look so gorgeous! Way to go, girl. I am inspired. I love your “out of the box” approach to art–and life. Congratulations.
