This is my take on
Amber 8 by
Jessica L over at Scrapbook Steals. The vertical and horizontal strips gave me the idea to pull out my hoarded scraps and make a rainbow weave with them. (The current
SWAT challenge is Dig Deep - using your hoarded items in a trendy way.) The purple and orange are actually fairly new (Fall 2012 Nicki Silivis box), but that blue, green, and yellow are at least 2 years old (MME Hip Hooray and MLS Green and Simple Life . The red if from last summer's MLS warehouse box (Sew Cute). Then I pulled out my hoarded buttons and added some interest to where the papers cross. Let's not talk about how many buttons I have in my stash!
The right side will get the journalling, but I don't want to post that online. I might add something to the bottom right depending on how much I write. I love how fast this layout came together - I put it together in less than 2 hours!
Here is the sketch:
I love how you wove the colored pieces together and the rainbow effect :) So pretty! Thanks for joining us on the SWAT blog!
ReplyDeleteI love the rainbow strips! I just did a simple rainbow on a card today with the same thought as you - great way to combine different paper collections on one project! Thanks for joining the SWAT stash challenge!
ReplyDeleteLove your take on the sketch and what you did with the ribbons! I may (cough) have a couple ribbons in my stash that I could use in a similar way! I may even have a few (cough, cough) buttons in my stash to add. :) Thanks for playing along with us at SWAT!
