washi tape shock

washi tape loving friends I have made a shocking discovery that I feel compelled to share with you…



yes, the big roll of tape, 10 meters I’m told, does come to an end !!! I have reached the end of my narrow, dark purple tape. 
Just as well I have plenty more washi tape.  To get over my shock I thought I’d share some washi wonderfulness.
Let me know in the comments if you would like a washi tape sampler like these (about a meter of each of 3 tapes wrapped around a piece of card)

Summer scavenger hunt–shadow

Item 11 on Rinda’s summertime  photo scavenger hunt 2012 is a shadow and should be easy, more a matter of choosing a good subject than searching for it.
But according to the weather experts, this month Edinburgh had had less than 2 hours of sunshine as of 17 July – when its not raining its overcast.  So I was unexpectedly excited on my walk last Thursday when I spotted shadows.  I decided I’d better capture some in case the month ends as it started.


and the one I will use for my scavenger hunt display

because is also tells the story of the bunting being up in town in anticipation of the festival this week.

Photoart swathed in light

For PhotoArt Friday this week Bonnie suggested images where the light draws the eye.

I had a look through recent photos and realised that I had the perfect one for this challenge – taken in a trip to a ruined castle with a visiting friend.  The stone window space created the perfect frame for the sea and massive sky outside.

Ok, I admit the one above has plenty of PSE magic applied – here is the photo that came out of my camera

The birds are a brush from ShadowHouse Creations – they are so realistic I think.

More scavenger hunting

 

I’m continuing to keep my eyes open for items on  Rinda’s summertime photo scavenger hunt list and have a few more to share.

The fountain was in a big garden centre

and I finally managed to capture a photo of a person with a ball on a walk on the beach – many previous attempts miss the ball or the person.  I’m pleased with my cropping on this one.

I’m going to display all of the photos in a double page spread inside my Project Life album.  I have the list and a header and then I’m adding a pennant with a number to each photo.  Each item has a 3 x 4 space – here are 4 I’ve already printed

 

 

 

And finally, I’m passing the book to Alison (after flipping a coin) – I have your address and will get it in the post at the weekend.
