Don’t Rake... Play! by Alun Maxwell

Inspiration “My inspiration was the fabulous oak in our garden – fabulous until you have to rake the leaves that is! I took photos and supplies to my local scrap club, the very friendly Pages of Memories, where I made this tribute to a 300-year-old tree – and to my kids of course!”

Technique “The principal technique was to ‘drizzle’ the leaves from the top to the bottom photo – to portray the journey all leaves make eventually. I also added some autumncoloured texture by threading ribbon through two holes in my cardstock, and tearing and chalking the paper edges.”

The London Eye by Joanna Shimwell

Materials

• Patterned paper:Junkitz • Cardstock:Bazzill • Letter stickers:Doodlebug • Cutting system:Creative Memories

Inspiration “It was a bitterly cold day on the South Bank. After buying my mum a new hat, we queued for over an hour for our flight on the London Eye and then warmed up with tea and scones in Harrods! The black & white papers were perfect for scrapping my photos from this memorable day.”

Technique “I overlaid the Junkitz papers so that the pattern matched, and attached these to Bazzill cardstock. Some of the photos were cut into circles to sit in the centre of the pattern, and the corners were rounded on the other photos. I then backed them onto black Bazzill cardstock.”
