Hopscotch Layout Inspired by Pinterest
I always start my scrapbooking layouts by reviewing my pictures and finding a pattern that suits them before even printing them. Sometimes that means using a CTMH pattern and sometimes it means using a pattern I find on the internet. I always start with something as my inspiration though, even if in the end it looks very different. This layout was inspired by one I saved on my Pinterest board.
The original post can be found here.
Since I usually create double page layouts and this was just a single page, I needed to figure out how to the right page would look. It was pretty simple though and I think it turned out quite well.
I used the new Hopscotch Workshop kit and the coordinating complements. This kit is only available until the end of March in the first Seasonal Expressions Idea Book. The frame is a photo mat cut from the Cricut Artbooking cartridge. I used the arrows that were cut out and just flipped them over to have consistency on the right page.
The Complements made the layout come together so quickly.
I love the new extra thick bakers twine that comes with the kit. It really adds some great dimension to the page and has a much different feel than the standard bakers twine.
For this layout I also wanted to try a new technique. It is called "a bit of blot" and can be found in page 55 of the 2014-2015 Annual Inspirations Idea Book. It took a little practice until I got the results that I wanted. It all depends on what you want it to look like as it can be light like I did or quite heavy if you add more ink and more water. I think I'll try it again and maybe mix some colours next time.
Do you use a pattern to start like I do or do you just make it up as you go?
