Hey crafty friends! I’m back here today with my first reveal of the month for Scrap Our Stash. This month’s movie was Transparent. I must be striking out because this is another one I’ve never heard of, and after reading the synopsis it’s one I’d never put in my play list. It does have the concept of family so I created a kids beach scrapbook layout from a recent trip with took with my parents.
In addition to using the movie concept we were also challenged to use a grid design and use either a transparency or vellum. The grid can be seen in my overall shot easily, but the above photo shows better how I used vellum as a layer under parts of my photo. I used vellum over a transparency because I actually don’t own any transparencies, or acetate even. I like the look the vellum gave though as it was another layer, but it’s soft and a different texture than paper. What do you like to add to your layouts to give extra texture?
The paper collection is an old one from Carta bella called soak up the sun that I had been trying to to get finished up. I am happy to report that it’s done and the scraps donated! I have been getting so much used up by being part of these challenges. I think I have killed ten kits so far this year.
Well, I think that’s all I have for now. I hope you find it inspiring and come over and participate in our stash busting challenge. Until next time….stay crafty!
While I used scraps of 12×12 papers I had left…6×6 paper pads are perfect for this as well. If you love a collection, but don’t want to invest in the whole kit you can do both pages and cards with just the 6×6 pad and die cuts. By using some foam dimensional squares you can give the die cuts a more chipboard look by popping them up.
