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! :)

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
