This creation is for tonight's scrapbooking class – inspired strongly by the sample in the Summer Mini Catalogue itself! I really liked the layout, and just jazzed it up a bit more.
I don't think I could have found a better photo for this – done by photographer and friend Kylie Pokere, she gave us an excellent deal. She did a fantastic job, charged us for the shoot and a disk where I can print the photos as I wish to do layouts. Creative family photos at a great price and plenty of inspiration for my work.
I used the Gold Glow sprintz all over the layout, leaving and loving the blobs that came out on "accident". I actually like that sort of look, too.
The yummy Spice Cake papers were woven (this is actually quite quick and easy) to create a lovely background mat with lots of colour.
The butterfly brad is from the Fresh Vintage SaleABration Suite – mixing in some girlie in there.
Who would have put More Mustard with Pool Party?? I quite like it.
I love how this frame turned out! I created my own background stamp by putting four of the Spiced Paisley cling stamps onto one big block, then stamped away. Went over the top with the Woodgrain stamp and edged with white ink. Turned out awesome!
The amphersand is covered with the Spice Cake fabric! I'm hoping some of the ladies tonight do their titles in fabric – didn't quite work with what I was doing, but would look fantastic in general.
Used bits of the fabric on the layout for "ribbon", too.
I have another photo I wanted to fit on here, but it just was better to leave it as is, so I think at class tonight I will make a facing page layout to go with this one. We'll see. Might be too busy chatting!
Next Scrapbooking Class is Wednesday April 4th. Theme to be determined tonight, but taking requests!
