Mei Li Paperie is holding their second challenge for May -
"Inspired by..." Challenge.
Here is the inspiration image:
Yes, Life is either a daring adventure or nothing at all!
I was inspired by it in many ways. Here's my take:
First, the quote! It made
me recall my adventurous graduation trip back in 2002. 13 of us flew to Sabah
to explore and had our adventure before we started our working life. We
climbed Mt. Kinabalu, snorkeling at Sipadan Island, took the smoke train, experienced
water rafting, searched for the largest flower in the world, Rafflesia and so
forth. We dared to adventure! We made it! It was really a great and memorable
adventurous trip! So, I decided to create a layout based on that.
The hanging gondolas on the ferries wheel inspired me to
create a layout with multiple photos. Furthermore, there were too many
adventures in our trip, multiple photos in a layout just the right choice. This
was my first attempt to create a layout with multiple photos. Something new to
adventure! To create something like the hanging gondolas, I tied the kraft
twine and ‘hang’ it with the brad. For the colors, I chose something related to
our nature such as green, brown, yellow and blue, as our trip was all about
exploration with nature.
The lights on the ferris wheel inspired me as well! Hmm… I
was thinking how I gonna make it look like the running lights on the ferris
wheel? Well, I added the gold pearls and turquoise rhinestones to touch up my
layout. There were 13 of them which represent 13 of us in the trip, 6 girls and
7 guys.
For the sketch, I was inspired by Elle’s Studio Sketch Thursday
05/22/2014 by Jenny and Creative Scrappers
Sketch 268.
It seemed that I had another adventure while creating this
layout – my 7th layout being created. I had fun with it! Hope you
join the fun too!
Happy scrapbooking!
