Travel photos

Hi, Deb back with you again with a few more holiday photos. 

I am constantly amazed by what I see in our travels around the world. Handcrafts always attract my attention. To see first hand what other craftspeople make is so inspirational.

 I used the Bamboo Shape 1 to tie the elements together. It is simply painted in a combination of 'camouflage' colors.

 My second page uses an older Scraplet for the title - Wet N Wild. The photo is from the day we arrived in Phuket during the Thai New Year or Water Festival Songkran.

 This chipboard went through quite a few alterations. First I applied a base coat of impasto mixed with blue paint and allowed that to dry. At that stage it was too bright and stark for the page. So I gave it a light stippled coat of white paint. Once this was dry, I finished it off with a coat of Dimensional Magic. Once dried it has a brilliant wet look to it.

Until Next Time

Happy Scrapping

Remembering our brave .........

 Hi, Deb here on the blog today. Earlier this year I designed some Military Scraplets and have been able to use them on a couple of pages of our trip overseas. The first one is an area in Vietnam where a network of tunnels had been set up during the Vietnam War.

I have used a couple of men from the set 'Army Men', a arrow from 'Arrows x 3 Small' and a piece cut from 'Bamboo 1'.

 

'Bamboo 1' is a long piece and I cut a section of it to fit the page.

 The Scraplets have been painted and once dry, I dabbed ink black paint around the edges to give them a more scruffy look.

I thought the 'Lest We Forget GR' title appropriate for this next layout. We visited the Australian (and Allies) cemetery in Thailand where the remains of many POW's who worked on the Burma Railway lie. It is an incredible and beautifully kept lawn cemetery, tended carefully by a group of Thais. This photo is the plot of the unnamed soldier.

The keep with the feel of the page, I lightly dabbed paint over the Scraplet and then using a darker charcoal/green ink, edged the chipboard to make it stand out a little more. 

Until Next time, 

Happy Scrapping
