Exciting News!

Sorry, for not posting much, I'm trying but I am still computer sharing as my computer is still be fixed. After all this time the computer guy best have retrieved all my files! 

On to more exciting stuff! I have been chosen to be a member of Scrapsome.com Design Team!! They have a Facebook page too HERE, let them know I sent you!

We had our first DT Challenge with one of my sketches :) see the Pics and notes below:

Sketch for Challenge:



What can you come up with from the sketch?

My Layout!
 Double Layout - This is a quick easy and simple layout that can be used in any album.
Remember not every page in your album has to be embellished out, having simple pages helps focus on your pictures/memories and that is the whole point of Scrapbook albums!
Left Side. I chose to use Heart Brads for my Banner. I also added doodle twine to look like the hearts are hanging from it. I added lil button brads in one corner of each photo mat to add a lil something. Plus added some more twine to tie the whole layout together.

 Right Side. I did the same for the banner on this page too. I also inked all the edges of all my pieces of paper to have them pop since the background paper was baby blue and the blue n Green circled paper almost blended in and wanted it to pop. I also double matted both the Yellow and Circled Paper photo mats to add some extra color.

 Close up of Journal spot. You can either hand write your own lil note or stamp a saying or print a phrase/sentiment out and add to that spot. I added an extra circle and a heart brad to jazz it up a bit along with more of the doodle twine.
