Two more challenges

Time for some scrapbooking challenges methinks. I know, I'm fair getting through them this week. It's those dark evenings that motivate me. I spend much more time in my craft room at this time of year.

Another hybrid too. This one combines Twisted Sketches and Colour Q. The original sketch was a 12x12 design so I've had to tweak it to fit an A4 LO. Yup, this is my first ever A4 design. I've been gravitating over to the American Letter size this year and decided that I ought to anglicise it. It's easier and more economic to buy A4 ring binders and page protectors, so it makes much more sense.

The trick with altering the sketch to suit what is a different layout altogether, is not to make it look squashed and cramped in one direction and sparse in the other. Not always easy but this one was manageable. The colours from Colour Q were a little more tricky. Thankfully Adobe Indesign comes into its own at this point. I could play about with all the colours, deciding what went where and believe me I went through plenty of combos before relaxing and settling on this one.

The photos were hidden away in my 'To Be Sorted' folder and I'd completely forgotten all about them. I'm shocked and delighted. It was rare for me to let someone photograph me back then. I'm not so keen now but I relent better these days.
