And the December 2020 Sketch N Scrap sketch #215 challenge provided the geometrical inspiration:
I used the leftover pieces from an old Treasure Box kit I received, and frankly I didn't like very much and the leftovers have been sitting around for a couple years. So, I used some of the leftovers for color inspiration and then created my own design, and made a companion page to another I had made similar back in April. It was interesting looking back months to reflect upon how novel masks were at first when now we will be anticipating wearing them for the majority of 2021, as well. I also grabbed my scraps folder and found a lonely red patterned scrap that fit. The fuzzy trim also made it a happier page. Printed pop-out cardstock embellishments are from Photo Play Loving the Quarantine Life. Selfie brads from Eyelet Outlet.
The American Craft Thickers title alphas were a new purchase in 2020, just waiting around for when I needed a custom color. I love that these cardboard Thickers are able to be colored using markers to match the exact color I needed on demand and didn't have in my stash. Kingart brush pen121 Peacock Blue.

The layout to the right was the complimentary layout I made back in April and had a mask layout in mind for the left. These challenges allowed me to finish the vision. (See my previous blog entry Feelings April 2020.)
I also entered this page into the Lasting Memories layout challenge #528: Mixed Bag - Anything Goes December 2020.

ReplyDeleteI agree, Lisa. I pray our future generations learn from the experiences of this year, good and bad. I have so many pages (or in this case, complimentary pages) in mind for lots of holes in my albums, so satisfying to know this one is complete! Happy and healthy New Year to you and those you love.
