Scrapbook Challenge

By
It's been so miserable here today that I have taken refuge in my craft room and just played! No cards today but a scrapbook page inspired by the sketch on the Sketchbook 365 blog



The sketch is based on a layout by Melenia Agapides

Here is my page



This is a photo of me and my brother from waaaaaay too many years ago - probably more than 30 yikes!
I can't believe we are actually smiling as we used to fight - a lot, dad must have caught us on a good day!
I used some Bazzill card stock along with some Stampin' Up DSP (Everyday Enchantment). I also used the DSP for my bunting and flowers. The butterflies were die cut on the 'Bug and I found some weird looking paper clips shaped like hearts so I added them as well. Platinum Liquid Pearls were used for the flower centres along with some flat backed gems.
I am going to be posting more pictures over on my Scrapbook Blog for the ladies in my club if you would like to see more - see you soon - Jacqueline xx

    Oh my goodness!!!! LOVE the torn paper...and the doily...and the picture! ;D This is fabulous--I really like the colors you put together. I need to start doing more scrapbooking. I just enjoy doing it digitally as I'm lazy and it takes too long to do a page when you're as crazy as I am...fabulously made, Jacqueline! :)

    This is lovely Jacqueline! I really like the way you've left loads of space in the layout - it really draws the eye to the photos. Vicky x

Yikes - I'm a bit late posting today, but when I got into my studio this morning I had forgotten that it looked like this I had a big family lunch yesterday and 'cos our house is so small, I have to keep stuff moving from room to room in order for there to be enough space. So I got to work straight away and now my desk looks like this There is a hidiously green magnetic board complete with snail magnets that I won in a raffle - just right for altering, some wooden drawer knobs onto which I will attach some foam to use with my disress inks and my chipboard albums from last week that I didn't get round to doing. Also found when clearing from one room to another was my old jewelery display board which will soon be converted to a card display board and an old set of corner shelves. All they needed was a quick flick of a J-Cloth and a spray of Flash (oops advertising - other cleaning products are avaliable) and they now stand proudly in my craft room displaying my most recent cr...

For one reason or another I haven't played this game for a few weeks - you know the one over on  Julia's blog  - go and see if you don't know what I'm on about. I have missed playing along as I love all the lovely comments left by fellow crafters and so I have purposely made time to join in this week. My work space is quite long and this week I have managed to use up all available surfaces .........with mess! starting at the left hand end  This is the devestation left from yestersday's Project Tuesday challenge and some atc making. Moving on This is where I usualy do all my 'messy' crafting hence all the Distress Inks and paints. However at the moment there is a rather large pile of paper work in the way (meeting minutes and accounts etc) - this really needs to be tackled asap - however still moving on This is the other end where I am piling up all the bits and pieces for my workshop tomorrow night - we are doing medallion cards - so much to do so l...
