The idea of just stacking different coloured paper together is simple yet so effective! Patterns are around use everywhere so I would not even have to keep using shop bought scrapbook paper. For the more personal touch I could source the patterns and print them myself. I love the stitching on some of the paper, and if I remember from my days of textiles at school, it isnt so hard to do either. I love the turned up corner stapled down; unfortunatly in this pic it doesnt show the top right hand corner has lined paper underneath it which I thought was a nice touch.
This one is really quite simple again, which I love. I'm forgetting about the spaced out embellishments as I dont have space, and to be honest I think they look a bit pointless. The photograph is quite small but set off by the background paper and the fox button. I love the typewriter doodle at the bottom, which is something I could possibly draw up in Photoshop myself. Love the mutual background then the burst of colour around the photograph.
This last one is probably my most favourite, but I love the way the embellishments draw your eyes into the photograph. The scrabble letters are very in at the moment so that would be right on trend, and the way they've written the word 'love' is something I doodle anyway! The background mash up of the chevron and the lines looks like it has been done on the computer, so I could always do something similar for a more interesting background.
Writing about the ideas I am having has made them more clear and defined in my mind, and I can not wait to get started on my own work! It is rather later now however and I have work tomorrow, but I did buy photopaper before I left work today so I will be making sure my printer is up to the job tomorrow.
I hope you have liked looking at my ideas, feel free to comment with suggestions or opinions or such like :)
P.S Jane and Charlotte loved their loom band creations. I may need another few bags as I'm running out of colours!
