Scrappin' my scraps

Since I've been home I've been binging on scrapbooking videos

and got this great idea from Tori Bissell and

her thing is scrap your scraps.

So she did one that looked like an old ledger paper

and invoices collage she saw.

Mine turned out more calico. 

I decided to use black cardstock as a backing

 mostly because everyone

else is using white.

Quite the renegade I am.

It also made everything pop!

I have a ton of papers in my scrap box and I'll do

this again. I randomly (sortof) picked out papers and

slapped them down.

 I didn't think of photographing it as I did

it until it was over. 

I also used bits of cutout papers too.

Once I adhered it all I gessoed it all -to make

it a bit cohesive and tone down the bright.

 Did a bit of random stamping -

 Also did the packaging technique 

to bring all the wild colors together.

Added a doily to ground the photos.

The photos are a hoot - me and Amelia doing snapchat.

LOL.

I really love how it turned out-very fun and funky.

Check out Tori - she's a very lovely lady with some great ideas.

Oh and the edges were very um....edgy which made

me crazy so I cut out the middle

of 8.5x11 black cardstock and used the edge and made those

edges quite lovely.
