Just for me

I had a day out of revision yesterday as I had my psychology exam on Tuesday and wanted a bit of a break, before it's full speed ahead with maths revision for my final 2 exams. Psychology went well, I think, it was one of those exams where I am not sure either way, I may have done well, I may have done not so well, I'm really not sure.

Anyway, Mum and I had a little shopping trip in the morning, and then I came home and scrapped. It's been a very long time since I've created a page without following a sketch, I enjoy using sketches, I enjoy the challenge of adding my own twist to a sketch, but I was worried I'd lose the ability to scrap without a sketch before too long. So I decided to just sit down and create from nothing but an idea in my head. So here is my page.
As we only got home from our little shopping trip at about 2, I had a limited time to scrap, which, in light of my last post, was good as it challenged me to do a quicker than normal layout. It took me about 2 1/2 hours to create this, which for me is quick. It was sped up considerably by the fact I knew exactly how I would set the page out, I wanted to do quite a graphic page. I hope you like the layout, I am really pleased with it, it is quite different to my normal style, but I like it. Here's a close up of the flowers, made using the tutorial on Sutty's blog.

Bye for now, thanks for stopping by :)

P.S. I have finally found how to do the ink splats that I adore on everyone's LO's. I've been trying to master it, and when I mixed the paint for this LO, I added a lot more water. I didn't necessarily want all of these ink splats like they are, I thought they'd come out like the small splats on my last few LO's, but I think these look ok, don't you?

Just popping over to say that the washi tape is from PaperChase. They have a pretty good selection so it's definitely worth checking out.

This is a wonderful layout Hannah! The paint splats look awesome and you are so brave just to go for it. I have to admit, I use a stamp for mine!

Hope your exams have gone well and you get the results you hope for.

P.S I will put together a layout 'how-to' one day. I keep trying, but I move stuff around so much and forget to take photos inbetween. One day I will succeed!
