The Making of Harry Potter

This is the final page of my Harry Potter Studio Tour album, but also the first, my title page. I had three things that I wanted to be in this page -  the picture of the Great Hall doors from my email booking confirmation, our tickets and a piece of film chipboard - but I wasn't sure how to combine them so I kept putting off making the page. At one point I had the idea of a patchwork of scraps behind the main photo, so doing it last was my best course of action.

However, once I saw the Twistback Thursday challenge at Sketch-n-Scrap, I knew if would work perfectly with my picture and tickets. This new challenge combines an archive sketch with a twist. This month the twist is to use something old and something new on the page. 

All the papers and cardstock on this page are new, bought for this album, and the chipboard and brads are old.



So now that I've finished all my Harry Potter pages, I will look back through them as a whole. I'll add things where they're needed and change things that I don't like. There is one page that I may re-do. I also hope to do an album share video or slideshow soon.

  1. WELL DONE Amanda! Your last/first page looks fabulous, what a great feeling it must be to complete an album. I love the simplicity of your design with the ink splats that soften the background and the film strip is awesome! Thanks for sharing your Harry Potter page with us at Sketch N Scrap. xx
