Every Day Life

Here is another layout for the iNSD challenges, this one is for two different challenges:

Peartree Cutfiles 'Rainbow colours and Nuvo Drops'. 

Paige Evans 'Scraplift' - I have included an image of the layout I have scraplifted, but I can't trace the creator. If you recognise the maker, please let me know.

Here is my layout with a photo from 1977 when colour Polaroid cameras were popular, my friend brought one to school, to record a few events of sixth form life.

"After the popular black-and-white prints came the peel-apart color prints in 1963, and non-peel-apart color prints followed in 1972. By 1977, the height of its popularity, Polaroid held two-thirds of the instant camera market, despite competition from Kodak."

I used a sheet of Smooth White Bazzill for the background. and flicked some Black Soot Distress Paint over the cardstock in the areas where the paper blocks will go.

From Vicki Boutin's Bold + Bright collection I cut some squares from the Picnic Blanket sheet, in a series of rainbow colours. I cur an extra oeange one, and turned this into a tag.

Will a collection of buttons, Card Candi, and other ephemera, I decorated each square, matching the colour scheme. I used a flair from Peartree Cutfiles. I cut phrases from Simple Stories - For the Record - Just the Details paper.

The title is some old Cafe Rojo alphabet stickers from Basic Grey.

I finished off with a rainbow of different coloured Nuvo Drops.
