Skissedilla Sketch #167

Title: His comforter

This layout was done for the following Skissedilla sketch #167.

I finished this layout just an hour before the challenge closed. This came at a price, namely, that the kids played Wii sports for hours. I didn't feel guilty much though, because lately I had fallen off the scrapping wagon and found it difficult to get back to scrapbooking. I find that participating in challenges really motivates me.

So for this page the title 'his comforter' has a double meaning; In a direct manner, big brother is his little brother's reassuring comforter, in another way the 'comforter' is a blanket (which I suggested by the use of the crochet granny square). So, it may be derived from the title that big brother's care and love is as comforting as a blanket.

I was going for a home-spun, kitsch style of scrapping. Again, I reach for the woodgrain for my base (I think I use woodgrain patterned paper more than kraft or any other solid cardstock).

The book page came from a 1940's children's story book. It pained me to start ripping it apart, but I did buy it with the intention of using it for scrapping.

Thank you so much for stopping by and leaving me a comment!

Skrebukas gamintas norvegaičių Skissedilla No. 167 konkursui.

Net nežinau kaip išversti pavadinimą į lietuvių kalbą. "Comforter" yra dviprasmiškas žodis kurio viena reikšmė: 1) Žmogus kuris kitam suteikia komfortą, ir antra 2). Antklodė.

Būtent su šiuo dviprasmiškumu bandžiau sužaisti šio skrebuko detalių vartojimu. Nertą, pūkuotą  kvadratėlį panaudojau su užuomina į antklodę - kad broliuko rūpestis jį ramina kaip šilta antklodė.

Vintažinis puslapis - pirmas kurį išplėšiau iš 1940m. pasakų knygos. Gaila buvo plėšyti tokį antikvarą, bet pirkau su šia mintimi kad vartosiu skrebui. Nepageidauju tapti kaupike, tai savo savo skrebinimo lobius sistemiškai atrenku skrebinimui.

Ačiū kad apsilankėte ir nepagailėjote laiko pakomentuoti ;)
