Brother and Sisters

So, today, even though the builders are still here doing the bathroom, I snuck into my Crafty Corner and did a new scrapbook layout (yes, another one!)  This time however, I am going to enter it into a challenge - my first ever!!! I followed the weekly sketch (#156) at Creative Scrappers  and came up with this:


So, not only am I being brave in entering one of my layouts, but I had to be extra brave and put ink splodges on the layout that I had just spent hours on!  Oh my goodness I half wondered if I would have to put it in the bin because I wouldn't like the splodges ... but I do!  I did loads of practice flicks until I was fairly confident then just went for it! (Does anyone know what I can use to get the ink off my hands?!!!)


I used some Papermania Kraft as the base, and then my Basic Grey Sugared papers (and I even managed to sneak in some brown parcel paper too yay!)  The photo is of me and my siblings and was taken on Easter Sunday at my Mum's house - in hindsight maybe a portrait photo might have been better for this sketch, but hey ho.  The title is because "Brothers and Sisters" is my favourite tv show!!!

    LOL @ Valerie! I shocked myself too Valerie! Never thought I would see the day when I would deliberately splatter my work, but I did! And ... it was fun!!!

    Love, love, love it, Carole, and congrats on entering your first challenge! Be forewarned, though, they can get addicting, just like blogging! The ink splatters look great, what did you use?
