BPC Process Class challenge - Slides

I swear I haven been up to date in sharing my layouts with you all. Sometimes maybe we procrastinate so much. Especially so when the item hits #1 in your to-do list, you will dread to do it. I use Evernote to organise all my to-dos, but I usually don't finish them in the order of importance, usually it ends up as doing them in the order that I feel is convenient , or those that I want to do get done first. Sometimes, it gets funnier. I have a to-do list, but I do other things , and when it get done, I type them into the to do list just so that I can check them off happily. Does it happen to you? Do share :)

Anyhow, here is another layout I meant to share with you guys for quite sometime. It was done during the period of them when I scrap a bunch of mixed media style pages, just because I have my mediums out and convenient to reach for :)

This layout is an assignment for the class Process by Big Picture Classes with Catherine Davis. Catherine is such a wonderful designer, love her style that is always so timeless and artistic. This challenge is to use slider frame. Catherine has hers cut out using Silhouette machine. I have meant to do this layout for a long time too , but I was lazy to pull out my silhouette. A few months later, I bought a boardgame that has sheets of punched out chipboard cubes. After punching out all of those game pieces, I realise the remaining can be used on a scrapbook page or some alter art. Hence I saved them in my scrap room. A few months later, I revisited the classroom and the idea struck me, that I can use this chipboard negative to create layout for this challenge :)

I gesso over the entire chipboard so it becomes smooth and sturdier and opaque white. 

I limit the layout to just 3 colors, white black and gold. It's simple and I love how it turns out!

Thanks for stopping by. I'm looking into creating an editorial calender so that I become more consistent with my posting :) Well, and we all know that this "to-do-task" cannot be #1 on my to-do list or it will never get done! Haha! 

Till next time :) Ciao!

Starbust layout + GIveaway!

Hello all. As the Super Stashbuster is about to start, I recall I had one more layout from the stash buster anonymous that I have yet to share. If you notice the layout on my Facebook page cover, here is the full layout reveal :)

I used mainly 6x6 papers from giltz design and My Mind Eye. And cut them into triangles using the template Aly has provided us . Then I stitch in the middle using a handy dandy hand held sewing machine/device . the same as the one I used in this layout

 

Extra photos that are not of the same color scheme are tucked behind the layers of papers. I didnt glue the entire paper down so that I have room to tuck things in as and when I like. i also love to tuck in extra journaling in the future :) You can also try this to get different perspective from other people who attended the event you scrapbook about on your page :) 

Thanks for looking. And now for the giveaway!
