Stamps Ahead

One more layout for Soul Scrappers I completed this weekend, The theme of the challenge was the word "REFLECT".   Some ideas: To reflect ( to think, ponder or meditate),  reflections (to reflect an image). You did not to use the actual word. I was instantly knew the photo I wanted to use - Reflections on a mountain lake in Engelberg, Switzerland.  We were on a sleigh ride around the village and we passed this beautiful lake. My journaling (taken from a dictionary)  says: Reflections on Mountain Lake, Engelberg, Switzerland the act of reflecting , as in casting back a light or heat, mirroring,  or giving back or showing an image; the state of being reflected  in this way. 2. an image; representation; counterpart. 3. a fixing  of the thoughts on something; careful consideration. Thank you for looking,  Margaret :)

Another challenge - this time a blind challenge - where you are given a list of requirements and then instructions to complete your layout.  Here is my layout. We were to gather together - 1 small landscape photo; 1 x 12" square piece of patterned paper (PP); 1 x 10" piece of PP; 1 x 7" x 8" piece of PP, Washi tape - two patterns; flair, buttons or flowers; sequins or bling; alphas for title.  I followed the instructions to put together however I did reverse the small washi tape sequences to the left and right of the 10" square PP as I had another persons head to the bottom right of the photo that I needed to cover with embellishments - haha. My journal is tucked under - you might just see it to the left and it says: "Engelberg, Switzerland. One of the activities that Heather was looking forward to was this ride.  We sand, we waved, we enjoyed........". Heather (in red) is my sister. Note: the PP is proving difficult all three have glitter on ...

This photo was taken in Engelberg, Switzerland.   I was inspired by a layout in a French Scrapbooking magazine - Passion Scrapbooking (what a great name) No. 59.  Am I getting better at this selfie thing?  If you call cutting half my face off - I am not so sure!!! Cheers, and every good wish for 2016, Margaret
