Devilishly Good

Having finished my 2020 album recently I'm going back to 2018 which is far from complete. I kept the pages in order as I made them, but it's been nearly a year since I added any new ones to the pile. I've written a list of about 20 pages and printed the photos for around half of them, so let's see how far I get before I get sidetracked!

I'm starting in October (why not?) when the Red Devils Army Parachute Display Team did a water jump near us. I'd printed three square photos but I really wanted to scrap them with a sense of movement rather than in a static row or column. Stick It Down had the perfect sketch this month where I could place my 'sky' photo at the top and my two 'landing' photos at the bottom.

I started with a plain white cardstock background which I coloured with stormy sky distress ink and silver acrylic paint. I replaced the diamond shapes from the sketch with pieces from an arrows cut-file which I cut on my Silhouette using a blue cloud print paper with small aeroplanes.


I matted all my photos on black cardstock and then added red cardstock and a chequered paper on two sides of each one. I cut the title from red and black on my Silhouette, and added puffy stars in the same colours to opposite corners.

  7. This looks like a fun thing to watch! I can't believe you've finished your 2020... there wasn't even much in terms of events to scrap but I'm still not done.
