Mooching around the internet I found some scrapbooking challenges which I decided would be great motivation to get me scrapping again. The important thing for my pages is that they tell a story so I do like to put journalling on there so we know what the page is for rather than just add a photo and some decoration.
Let's Get Sketchy was one of the challenges I found and I sort of followed their sketch for my layout. All of my supplies are so old its hard to list what I used. The stencils are Tim Holtz and the rubber stamp of the Colosseum is an old Cherry Pie Art Stamp. This page is celebrating my son's 21st Birthday when the family went to Rome - one of our favourite places and as my son is an Archaeologist an obvious place for us to go to celebrate his 21st birthday.
Another Challenge blog I found was Challenge Yourself #53 - where they want to see you in the picture - they have given a picture also as inspiration -
Now my link to this is quite tenuous but bear with me - one of our favourite films is Gladiator - the part where he is returning home and walking through the wheat to get to his home is very poignant and this image reminded me of that image. As my page is all to do with Rome I'm guessing you can see where I'm going with this!
Card Mania CM#104 is looking for Anything But A Card so I'm adding my page.
