Inspired By... Scrap Page Re-Do

Posted by
The assignment from Get It Scrapped!: Make a page about bikes or biking.


My page is about getting a new bicycle for my 7th birthday and again on my 50th birthday. I originally created this layout awhile back, but never really liked it. Perfect opportunity for a re-do!


Collection Featured: Basic Grey Bow Ties
 The dominant color in my photos is green, so I chose red, the complementary color, to bring energy and contrast to the layout. Small doses of blue add harmony and point out my blue bicycles. For interest and dimension, I used a variety of products: twine, chipboard, stickers, Thickers, flair, mini pearls and wood veneer.

I challenged myself to use 3 different materials for the title. The twine, Silhouette die cut and Thickers are a fun and eye-catching combination!

You can read the rest of the scrapbooking bikes article here. There's also a great article on using square photos here. Have you ever re-done a scrapbook page?

    Awesome re-do on your page, Sue. Love the way you used the older and newer photo together and the twine in your title looks great!

    I haven't redone a page yet, but I may just have to give it a try!
    I love your redo.
    And I love all the fabulous things you did with the twine.

    I've only ever re-done one scrapbook layout because I didn't like the way the paint came out. My philosophy is that when I get everything scrapped that's on my to-scrap list, then I'll go back for re-dos. (Obviously that's not going to happen! LOL)

    Great redo! I like the quadrant arrangement and love what you did with twine. It's wonderful you have both of these photos to tell the story.

    Fab redo Sue! Although that floral paper on the original has always been a fave of mine - Cosmo, isn't it? While it is fun to see how our styles evolve, I don't want to go down the road of redoing too many - not even on a bike!
