Girl, You're The Bee's Knees - Michelle

A girly page from me this week *gasp* !!!
Though I have used the beautiful blue papers from the Echo Park Time & Seasons Collection.

This is also "Version 3" of the very simple, Friday night scrapping layout...

This time, the pattern papers are vertical and on the right hand side of the page. And to keep things interesting, I have used a splattering of Tattered Angels glimmermist and a Martha Stewart border punch ! Both brands coming soon to Scraploot !

To brighten up the layout, and give it a more "girly feel", I've embellished with gorgeous red organza rosettes by Maya Road, and black twisted burlap by May Arts. The rosettes actually come as a trim, but I got creative and cut mine into individual flowers.

I've also used some fantastic 2Crafty chipboard on the layout. This timeless piece is one half of the Vintage Elise's Dress Form pack. I've kept it raw, to go with the kraft cardstock.

To kick off your weekend scrapping, you can find most of the supplies for this layout in the Scraploot Online Store ! Have a great weekend, and Happy Scrapping !

They say that when you're on a good thing......stick to it.
So I am.
Not only am I continuing to showcase the fantastic Echo Park Time & Seasons Collection, but I am also hoping to show you, how to get the most out of a layout design (or sketch).
You might think you've seen this weeks layout before, and you'd be right....almost !
Using similar papers and the same layout design (but rotated horizontally), we have TRIKIN'.

By using different embellishments and slightly different placement, you can achieve another great layout, quickly and easily for your Friday night scrapping !
This week, I have used journal cards, tags, large stickers and large flowers for a totally different look !

On this occasion I've used the Echo Park Time & Seasons Alpha Stickers for the title, and once again I have made good use of the element stickers ! I have used a combination of black cardstock and Magic Mount to make the stickers stand out !

Hi Everyone !

Welcome to my first Scraploot blog post.
I hope you've had a wonderful week, but I've got to say TGIF !!!
From Monday - Wednesday I was in Canberra with 164 Year 5 & 6 students.
It was an excellent excursion, but being on duty 24/7 certainly takes it out of you...so I have decided to share with you a very simple, but classy layout that is easy to put together, at the end of a busy week !
Once again, I am showcasing the Echo Park - Time & Seasons Collection.

No. 1 - Layout

As you can see, this layout only uses 1 x cardstock and 2 x pattern papers - very simple, very quick !

The photo is a standard 10x15cm of my No.2 son, but here he is on his No.1 (first) bike / trike. Hence the title - which I was able to achieve uniquely and quite easily, using the element sticker. 

A close up of some of the other lovely products in my DT kit this month - beautiful Bella and Green Tara Flowers.
