So I definitely DO NOT need another hobby as life is crazy and busy enough as it is! But I will admit to getting in on the adult colouring phase. I mean, it's just so, so relaxing to colour! But of course, I can combine my love of scrapbooking with the fun of colouring! Enter: Oh Happy Life collection by Amy Tangerine. Seriously good BUT there are several patterned papers that are printed in black and white and are PERFECT for colouring!
So I chose a pattern that I liked and then grabbed some colouring pencils (I like the Prismacolor pencils - nice, saturated colour and they blend beautifully!) and got to colouring! I put on some Grey's Anatomy and just happily resided in my creative zone!
When I got about halfway down the page, I was happy and decided to stop there and create a layout! I chose a happy selfie of my kids and their older cousins and kept it bright and fun!
I kept to my usual style of lots of layers, machine stitching, mist splatters and fun embellishments! I love the result!
So be on the lookout for this collection and grab some of the black and white printed patterned paper! Unleash your inner child and have fun colouring!
