The Grinch
I've done so little scrapbooking lately, I have really been missing it, so I decided to play along with some of the CHA challenges going on at Two Peas.
I pulled out my older Hollyday collection and sifted through the stack of photos I have on my workspace and got going.
This first layout is from this past Christmas. We watch the Grinch multiple times each year, but the first showing is special with special snacks, lights off, more movie style. I created this layout for Challenge #6 - Use 6 layers: I have three layers of patterned paper, one layer of vellum, the photo layer, and then the embellishment layer.
This was a really quick and easy one to put together. I added some stitching as well as fussy cutting of the flowers from one of the papers in the Hollyday collection.
This second layout is from several years ago. We had a pretty large snow storm and in the whole freeze/refreezing process we started getting some leaking in the sunroom windows, so Andrew had to go out and clear off some of the snow from the roof and break up the ice a bit.
I'm entering this layout into Challenge #1 - Use one color. The challenge said to pick one color, but that you could use neutrals/black/white/gray as accents. I flipped it a bit since gray was my color, so just a hint of green to add highlights.
I'm still in a scrapbooking mood, so expect to see some more layouts in the next week. Hope you are having a great weekend!

ReplyDeleteWonderful layouts, Miriam! Love your "lights out" traditional viewing of the Grinch. The girls will remember that forever! And, I think it does take a lot of skill to make a convincingly festive Christmas project in the middle of July : )

ReplyDeleteSuch great pages, Miriam! So ready to scrap some of my Christmas pics, too. Is it tough to upload over at two peas? I've put off opening a gallery for fear it will take me years to enter all the supplies used on one page. Sigh.
