LGS 2012 Dec Week 1 : My Angel

Lets Get Sketchy (LGS) is part of my life, I have to check and think about their weekly challenges. They provided a different direction in terms of creativity - I start with their sketch and think what pictures or occasion that I need to scrap that I can use in the layout, then looking for the papers and embellishments!

I used handmade paper but not sure if it is still available. Actually, in the mock up, the second base paper is dark pink and I turned it over, saw a lighter pink but did not think much and I just placed glue to stick the dark pink OOOOPSSS! There are actually two handmade papers! A light and dark pink plain!!
So from this faux pass, I just had to continue on one that would match.

The paper lace I placed using the patterned paper but it does not mark, so I used the backside which is plain white and to bring it to forefront, I matted it on the dark pink.

These challenges are fun and works my brain and creativity. There is no right or wrong but there is a better and more beautiful way in Scrapping ... as in life. One can always just hope that one has chosen the best combination of papers and embellishments from what is available, just in life - we make decisions on the options available to us.
