My eldest son Alex went to a birthday party way back in April at a laser tag centre. I've had these photos sitting on my desk since then, waiting for inspiration to hit me. Finally it did, so I was able to scrap them.
Would you believe my inspiration was bubble wrap? I used some of it to stamp the background!
I simply used my brayer and some Champagne Mist Shimmer Paint to 'ink' the bubble wrap, and then stamped the cardstock. So easy, and yet so effective! I like the rough look of it - not every bubble stamped perfectly.
Don't adjust your screens! The above photo is meant to be sideways so you can see the journalling. I was stuck on how to add the journalling because I didn't want it to stand out too much. In the end I decided to try more of the Shimmer Paint with my blender pen. It was a bit tedious having to reink the pen so often, but I think the effort was worth it, as I got the look I was after! You can see I sanded the edges of the photos to give them a border.

Tina, I love the way you did the background! What a great idea, it gives a nice uneven finish which is perfect for this page.
