I'm still keeping up with Shimelle and her challenge weekend. This time we were challenged to mix our personal style with a look we've never tried before.
And thus I present....the Julie Fei-Fan Balzer Scrapbook Page.
When I first read the challenge, I thought, "Whose scrapping style scares me?" Why, Julie's of course! ;-)
I really, REALLY love what she does. But I thought I could never achieve her look on a page.
Except for my HORRIBLE handwriting with a paint brush, I think this page is pretty darn cool.
I finger-painted the tags with acrylic paint diluted with water.
OK, that was fun. ;-)
Then I typed the city name and the date. I added a bit of journaling on the side there.
Messy, painty, inky.
Seriously fun!!
Oh and PS: Sorry about the photo. The sun has gone down, so I used a lamp...and this is what happens when you do that. ;-)
Thanks for visiting!!

This looks really pretty, if it was 'new' to you. ..... You did a great job.

Great job with this different style. I'm just getting started on this challenge.
Inking and painting is definitely something that scares me so I am really, really impressed with this layout especially if it's not your normal style! I love the detail in the top right corner.
Lol, I don't think I'd like writing with a paintbrush either! I love your page, though, the colours are gorgeous and I like the masking.
This is great! Love the masking on the background. I have to admit, this challenge scares the heck out of me! You did well with the challenge!
I really like the way you used the mask on the background... and I love the finger-painted tags. This layout has a very artsy feel to it and I LOVE artsy! Wonderful job on the challenge... now I need to go work on my layout for this challenge! LOL!
It looks cool! I disagree with you about your handwriting. I love that part.
I'm working on this challenge right now :) It's a difficult one for me...
finger painted tags--AWESOME! this is such a pretty page!
