With A Little Help...

Für diesen Monat habe ich einmal versucht, mehrere verschiedene Jänner-Scrapchallenges zu kombinieren. Ich habe fünf untergebracht. Die Challenges und Anforderungen sind 

For this month I tried to combine several different January Sscrap challenges. I have accommodated five. The challenges and requirements are:

 


 

Zu meinem Layout (English version see below)

Die Fotos stammen von meinem ersten X-Cross Run (www.xcrossrun.at)  - 5 km Hindernislauf über diverse Hürden, manchmal auch unten durch, durch Wasser, Matsch und Sand. Es ist so richtig dreckig. Als vorletztes Hindernis waren drei Holzwände in verschiedenen Höhen zu bewältigen. An der mittleren wäre ich alleine wohl gescheitert. Zu dem Zeitpunkt war ich nämlich schon ziemlich müde und entkräftet. Aber mit ein bisschen Teamwork  habe ich es doch noch geschafft!

Ich gestalte die Hintergründe für meine Layouts gerne selber. Diesmal habe ich etwas Neues ausprobiert – meine kürzlich erstandenen Faber Castell Aquarellstifte kamen erstmals zum Einsatz. Fazit: Das Ergebnis gefällt mir zwar, aber für große Hintergründe sind sie vielleicht doch nicht das geeignetste Mittel. Ich habe das Ganze noch mit Spritzern brauner Acrylfarbe ergänzt, damit es dem Character des X-Cross-Runs etwas mehr entspricht.

Hinter dem rechten Foto verbirgt sich eine Öffnung, in der sich eine Jornaling-Karte versteckt. Ich habe sie etwas herausgezogen, damit man besser erkennen kann, wo sie sich befindet.

About my layout

The photos are from my first X-Cross Run (www.xcrossrun.at) (something new) - 5 km obstacle run over various hurdles, sometimes also down through, through water, mud and sand. It's really dirty. The penultimate obstacle was three wooden walls of different heights. I would have probably failed on the middle one alone. At that point I was already pretty tired and exhausted. But with a bit of teamwork (working together) I still managed!

I like to design the backgrounds for my layouts myself. This time I tried something new - my recently purchased Faber Castell watercolour pencils were used for the first time. Conclusion: I like the result, but for large backgrounds they are perhaps not the most suitable means. I added splashes of brown acrylic paint to the whole thing to make it more in keeping with the character of the X-Cross-Run.

Behind the right photo is an opening in which a jornaling card is hidden (hidden pocket). I have pulled it out a bit so that you can better see where it is.
