Mel's Me Time

Today I am here to share with you my next project. I actually have two layouts using this gorgeous cut file because I wasn’t particularly happy with the first I created. I will share with you the layout that I was happy with and then at the end of this post I will share a couple photos of the one I wasn’t happy with. Let me know what you think? As I said in my previous post, I have completed a few more layouts using our wedding photos this month. The photo quality is varied (it was 25 years ago!!!!) and this one is no exception not to mention the colour of the chair in the background!!! I decided to combat this I would just use black, white and grey for this layout. Keeping it very simple, colourwise! I have used the  Rosey Posey Polaroid   cut file as the main focus for this layout. This is such a pretty cut file. I decided not to back it but to make the flower into a shaker-style box using some rose gold, white, and silver sequins. So pretty… By doing this I was attempting to embrace

  Hey there everyone! Today on the CUT to YOU blog I have a layout for you that has significantly tested and challenged me to no end. I have well and truly worked outside my comfort zone. The end result is very different from my initial plan but overall I think it works. This month I have gone back to trying to document some more photos from our wedding, 25 years ago. I don’t know about you but I have put this album off for the last 19 years of my scrapbooking life and had plans to complete it before our 25th anniversary…but I am like a kid in a lolly shop and always find something different to distract me. (Apologies for the yellow tone to the photo…bad weather means lighting for photos is not great!) I started with the mixed media background. I had a few challenges for this layout… **I am using a 25-year-old photo, the colour, and lighting in the photo are not great.  **I struggle to work with ‘purple’ at the best of times. Sometimes I wonder why I chose purple for the bridesmaids…b
