I’m excited to be the featured designer for LOAD217 Greek Mythology today.
The prompt for today was inspired byย a competition held between Poseidon and Athena for the city now known as Athens. (Yup… major spoiler alert there!)
After hearing about the story our prompt was:
What is something you do better than others? What competition would you win or lose?
At first I thought I’d scrapbook about my son’s competitive swimming, or maybe board games, our family loves them! As I went looking for photos I saw some recent pics from my hubby’s birthday. We went 10 pin bowling. I LOVE bowling, and I definitely take pride in kicking a little butt.
I started this layout on a piece of watercolour paper. I created my background and let it dry. I arranged my frames into a pleasing arrangement. Then I stopped and took a quick photo of it with my cell phone, so I wouldn’t bump it and lose everything.
Then I measured the frames and printed photos in the sizes I wanted. Could I have cut down other photos, sure, but this made it a gazillion times easier.
I used my beautiful Typecast Typewriter from We R Memory Keepers to type my journaling and I cut it into strips. I thought the strips would make it easier to see the pretty background and keep the journaling a bit lighter.
Sounds totally believable, right?
I typed it on strips because I kept messing up my block of type, so I finally gave up and decided I’d do it in strips so I didn’t have to have all of the errors! #reallife
My friend was over and suggested the title which I immediately loved. I added a little bit of bling with the crown on the Q and this layout was done!
Have you scrapbooked a competition, or your competitive side recently? If not… it might be time!
Happy scrapping!
Alice.
