I have signed up for Shimelle's new class called Scrapbook Remix - whether this turns out to be a good idea or not remains to be seen as I'm not great at finishing her classes - but I have to say I'm off to a flying start - even if the class started on Monday and I have only just completed the first prompt!
Shimelle describes Scrapbook Remix as a four week adventure in mixing and matching patterned pape. And patterned paper is one thing I have no shortage of.
In the first prompt Shimelle started with one particular paper collection and then added to it for each of her 4 pages. I went with a different collection for each page - I managed to mix the patterns up but not the collections. that is something I have always found quite tricky so I am hoping this class will teach me how to do this.
We had to look at colour and produce a monochrome page:
(Using October Afternoon Fly A Kite papers and Banana Frog alphabet stamps)
A page using just two colours:
(Using Cosmo Cricket papers and American Crafts puffy Thickers)
A page using three colours:
(Using My Mind's Eye penny Lane papers and American Crafts puffy Thickers)
And finally a page with lots of colours:
(Using Cosmo Cricket Early Bird papers and American Crafts puffy Thickers)
I have enjoyed this prompt - it has made me use up papers that I have had for several years - I have found some that I cannot for the life of me remember why exactly I bought it. Maybe during this class I will be able to use them up.
