Over the Top Holiday Hop with Tombow !

This week is TOMBOW week with a Blog Hop here on the TOMBOW blog! 

TOMBOW and Fancy Pants Designs also have giveaways for you by the end of the week!

Today let's see what Kim has in store for us!

 

Hi Fancy Pants fans, Kim here...I hope you have enjoyed the TOMBOW blog hop this week?

I have to say that I have been so impressed with all the amazing inspiration shown, not that I am biased in any way or anything :). Thanks to all the designers involved, you girls are amazing!

Seeing as I am the last project for the week, I thought a double page challenge using the Timbergrove collection would be a great way to end off. My inspiration & challenge to you is 'SIMPLIFY your design', but go for 'DOUBLE' at the same time. My go-to scrapping style tends to be busy layering, so attempting a simpler style was challenging, yetliberating at the same time. To all you simple scrapbookers out there, "You might be onto something"...I think I am hooked. 

Take a look at the results.

 

Timbergrove Patterned Paper Powder/ Timbergrove Patterned Paper Retreat/ Timbergrove Patterned Paper Herringbone/ Timbergrove Patterned Paper Bits-n-Pieces/ Timbergrove Patterned Paper Folic/ Timbergrove Patterned Paper Flurries/ Timbergrove Sticker Fundamentals/ Timbergrove 4 x 6 Brag Pad/ Timbergrove Decorative bags/ Timbergrove Small Decorative Tags/ Timbergrove Patterned Photo Frames/ Timbergrove Label Stickers/ Timbergrove Button Set/ Cork Star Shapes

 

To add uncluttered interest to my page I used x2 different patterns on each size of the page. I find doing this helps the overall design remain linear & clean. This is where the Tombow Stamp Runner adhesive came in real handy. It is strong & easy to apply to paper strips & photos. 

 

 Playing with fonts & digitally adding sentiments to ones photos is another great way to keep the page design clean & less cluttered. 

Not sure how to attach fussy shapes....? Try the Tombow Mono Glue Pen. It made adhering the white die-cut snowflakes a cinch to do.

Scattering your journaling around the page is a super way to say what you have to, in a creative way, adding extra visual texture too. I used my faithful typewriter to add mine, complete with mistakes LOL! 

I really hope this has inspired you to think beyond your usual scrapping style like I did. If you play along with my challenge, feel free to share it on our Facebook page :)

 

Thanks again for joining us for this blog hop...I wish you all happy holidays & a very merry Christmas for next week.
