The photo used to illustrate my love for reading shows the book 'The Curious Incident Of The Dog In The Night Time' by Mark Haddon. It was my favourite book until recently I read one that only just topped it! I'm sure the others are pretty self explanatory. I have had a very creative day today, well apart from helping do chores around the house this morning. I have been playing using my new knowledge of Photoshop, using the idea of creating a mask and then clipping in papers. I created this bunting strip as a little practise piece and was rather pleased. I am still to learn how to add shadows which would no doubt improve it, but here it is anyway using a range of papers from multiple sources. I tried to make it look funky by doing a hand-drawn wiggly line string.
Now onto the proper scrapbooking (sorry I will always refer to it as that!!). I started a page about a year ago, yes a year ago, and have finished it today. It's already celebrated it's first birthday!! I got a new phone for my birthday last year and so wanted to do a page about it. I started but never finished so today I decided I had had enough and got stuck back into it. I am pretty sure that if I had done it last year the title would have been very different and I would have added journalling, but seen as the journalling now wouldn't fit the photo (the screen of my phone has I love my new phone typed visibly onto it) I have kept the page very simple. I hope you like it. :)
I have coloured the chipboard lettering with an ink pad and then stamped a fine grid stamp over the top in a contrasting colour. I really liked the way they turned out so you'll see more of this being done in the future no doubt. Bye for now, Hannah :)

Ooh yes, that is indeed a great technique with the letters. Love the colours, too, appropriate for the subject matter.
My favourite book of all time. I just love it.
What lovely pages! That's an original and clever technique, the checkered effect on the letters :). Wey-hey on getting the year-old page done - love the sinple design and the way you've balanced those pretty flowers top right with the ones bottom left. And your bunting is great! Am intrigued - did you 'draw' the wiggly string afterwards, or in Photoshop?
Love your two LOs. The digi one looks so clean and the real life one looks great with the lettering and the cute little circle flowers. Well done!
Thanks for everyone's lovely comments. Alexa, I drew the string in Photoshop as another layer of the mask and then have changed the flags and string colour by clipping piece's to the layers. :)
Great LO's Hannah, love the first one lots, great technique too :)
