This is my desk this week.
Yesterday started #the100dayproject. This is where you pick something creative to do everyday and then do it. From April 19th through July 27th. I picked practicing hand lettering. I wanted something easy to do anywhere. I can take this with me to the beach, outside by the campfire, in front of the TV. You get the idea. I've been wanting to practice and have taken small steps here and there. With committing to 100 days, I'm hoping my hand lettering skills will go from blah to ok.
Then there is this layout. It's for the Scrap Our Stash challenge. You use the sketch then choose 1 thing from each column. I used a pl card (the ALL AMERICAN is actually cut from it), lined paper (the red white and blue is lined), the the color (KU Crimson) red. Since my photos were so much larger than the sketch, I made my background mat and the bottom cluster bigger as well. Since the papers where so bright and bold, I kept the embellishment to a minimum. I also put small borders of either vellum or white typing paper around the pattern papers to give some breathing room to the patterns.
If you aren't already playing along with any of the above, there's still time!!
Hope you have a lovely Wednesday.
Hi Lisa, lovely pics on your layout. Lettering practice is something I could do with, lol. Have a great week, Hugs, Shaz #8 xxx
ReplyDeleteOh those pics are adorable! Great page too. The lettering idea is a good one, I always struggle to find something creative to take away (without packing the whole craft oroom) but that would be an easy one. Happy Wednesday, Cindy #29
ReplyDeleteI do believe it. This space looks clean to me too - it is called WORKspace, right? Lovely projects!

ReplyDeleteLove your layout. So cute
ReplyDeleteGood luck with your handwriting challenge. I keep wanting to practise but get distracted by other things. Time seems to be flying by. I was thinking that now I wasn't working I would have more time! It's not seeming to work out that way.
Happy WoYWW
