Playing with fire (Challenge
Scrapping out Loud! )
Too much to do, too much ideas and way too little time to accomplish it all!
I got to make choices and I’m skipping the Scrapping out Loud challenge
this week.
That is; sort of.
Not exactly…
Not entirely…
I’m bringing in an older layout but it fits the challenge as the design team
came up with:
“This weeks challenge is ALL about the layers.
Use as many as you can, but there’s a twist.
You cannot use patterned paper from the scrapbook store on your LO,
you have to make your own!!!”
The title says “Nout’s playing with fire”
I took these photo’s last summer. On warm summer evenings, my son
likes to make a “campfire” in our garden. Our garden is small (but nice, if you wanna take a look, go to the minibooks – there’s one book about my garden.) Being an adolescent, have summer holidays and start a fire in the garden… could you think of anything nicer?
Of course his mum (that’s me) is afraid for his (and our) safety, so this campfire is made “the parent-prove” way…
in a big empty flowerpot!
The paper I used for this LO is simple: plain black wrapping paper for the background and torn pieces of orange paper.
I teared the orange
paper so it would
look like flames, and glued the pieces on top of each other (there’s your layers!)
I used coloured pencils (yellow, orange, red) to give it a “burning-fire-look”.

Meisje, waar zijn de kampvuren van vroeger naartoe? Lekker met een groepje op strand, en gevonden handgranaten laten ontploffen?? En jij laat je zoon nu een krant in een bloempot verbranden?
Haha, groetjes vanuit longlac, ontario,
je broertje
