ScrapMojo Recycled/5 Challenge

^The original (and heinous) page^


^RECYCLED VERSION!^
I think it's a little too busy... but it's still waaaay better than the first one. Believe it or not, the entire page is recycled from the original. The original is on one side of an American Crafts paper and there was another layout on the back, so I couldn't just rip it up and start over- so I wove all of my paper leftovers together and fit them around the photo. I also used up all my Love, Elsie letter leftovers to carry the alphabet theme. The circles on the right side are photo negatives- because what on earth do I need those for anymore, right? Gotta use them somehow!

ScrapMojo JUNO challenge!

My first layout for a ScrapMojo challenge. This one is based (in case it's not obvious) on the Juno movie posters that are oh-so-cute. When I got finished I realized I made this almost entirely from found pieces, except those three Love,Elsie stickers that I couldn't resist. The orange background is the same overlay thingy that I used as the cover on my Inspiration album and it's just vellum, masking tape, notebook paper and Sharpie after that.
It was good to have an external challenge because for about a week I have certainly not been interested in creating anything (except maybe some chaos). But there are so many scrap challenge sites and books that are gonna keep me engaged when I'd rather just come home from work, cross my eyes and stare at a wall all night. Although really, that's not a horrible idea either...our walls are bright blue and covered in art, so even cross-eyed I'd be imbibing creativity and beauty!
