Scrapbooking Memories Update

Hi everyone,

Hope you've managed to get more scrapping done than me in the last week. Too much work and not enough play I say.

Here are a few layouts I had published recently. This one was in Scrapbooking Memories, Vol 15, No 2:
This is one of those layouts you do just for the fun of it. With such a silly photo I had to make the page crazy too. The green lacy background is florists' mesh. You can get different colours and patterns - I think it's really versatile and adds a really interesting look. It's a bugger to stick down though! You really have to staple it.

This one was in Creating keepsakes, Issue 17.6:

I wanted to embellish the layout with circles, to mimic the wheels of the billycart, but also keep the layout old-worldly, to tie in with the old-fashioned feel of a billycart. I collected a few bottletops, hammered them flat then used them as bases for the Jillibean Soup cotton reel tops.

I printed the photos in increasing sizes and slightly overlapped them to reinforce the message that Harrison is racing down the hill.

If you think some of those papers are pretty old, you're right! The layouts were made a while ago but I think if the papers look good, then keep using them!

Happy scrappin!
Heather

    Have to agree with you older papers & those Alphas on the top one? I loved these so much I got 4 sheets...still love em, too:):):) Great way to use brads in the top one, too. My leg's a mess. Allergic reaction to the dressing over my stitches...so I haven't done much else BUT scrap!!!! Gotta be some payoff!!!!

    Lovely use of the florist mesh it added such a funky element to you page and photo, as for old papers I agree with Helen mixed with some newbies and who would know.
