A sketch and Layouts

After talking about my favourite ever layout in my last post I thought I would share the sketch I created ages ago for it and the 3 layouts that have come from it. I created this sketch for my previous craft shop blog (the blog actually still exists and there is a lot of inspiration still there from my previous design team you can check it out here - http://www.trulymadlycrafty.blogspot.co.uk/).

I still love this simple but effective design and maybe as I haven't scrapped for so long when I do I will use this sketch as my inspiration to get me going again!

P.s. Can you tell I have a thing for butterflies on my layouts?! Never realised I used quite so many!

Happy crafting,

Bit of a Scrap

So I thought it would be good to share a few scrapbook pages. These were all made sometime in 2010/11 I believe and I don't think I've shared them on here before!

This layout was created from a UK Scrappers Cyber Crop class. I really enjoyed making the  felt embellishments although it makes the page very bulky in my album!

I love this page, it's not my usual style at all but I find it really fun and I love all the layers and the pearl swirl.

This is one of my all time favourite layouts and I have actually created 2 other layouts based on this one (one of the others is a few posts down). I love the stitching and all the different ribbons and extra bits. I also love seeing all my different hair styles on one page. I might have to do another one like this though because last year my hair was blue all over then purple all over!

It's a shame that this layout didn't take a photo so well, it's not very easy to read the title (better IRL) but it says 'Snowflakes are Winters Butterflies'. This was created with a kit I believe for a UK Scrappers Crop.

Thanks for having a look and hope you like my creations :)

Happy Crafting,
