Happy Days - Scrap Around the World and Sketchabilities





New challenges for a new month YAY!!!! Here is my take on the awesome Scrap Around the World mood board combined with the new sketch at Sketchabilities. I LOVE chevrons so I was immediately inspired by the chevron coat hooks on the SATW mood board. I recreated the look on my page using chipboard chevrons from 2Crafty painted the same aqua colour. I also loved the mood board colours and incorporated them into my page along with a lot of purple to tie in my photo. Finally I love the pencil line 'robot' plans on the mood board and I added some pencil and gel pen details to my background work.
The photo of Jaime and his gorgeous girlfriend Cindy was taken a few weeks ago at the 'Color Run'. We had a great day with the whole family getting covered in paint and thoroughly grubby! This photo was one of our favourites from the day as it really reflects the mood of the event. 



I had a blast making this background! I used masks and texture paste, spray inks, stamps, water colour pencils, gelatos etc... The photo mat is mainly washi tape and patterned paper strips with a variety of embellishments added for interest.
Do check out both these challenges - there are fab prizes up for grabs. Have a fantastic weekend :)
