A layout here and a layout there

I am definitely NOT creating like I did like last year, in two ways... firstly the number of layouts has drastically reduced from 13 a month to 1 or 2 a month and secondly I am trying different techniques on every fourth or fifth layout.

Here are the latest layouts...

A simple double page layout using a couple of 6x4's on the left and a 6x12 collage on the right side and a block of journalling. Very little embellishing with just a few punched butterflies.

No photos on this layout but an empty snacks packet and a metal badge from my son's sweatshirt. I could have easily taken a photo of the Pods packet but I am not worried if this is acid free or not. I have used a variety of embellishments from my colour drawers from all sorts of product collections including chipboard, a flair button, regular buttons, patterned paper banners, rub ons, star stickers and a random ticket embellishment.

Ain't my hubby a cutey?! LOL Again I've used some random embellishments from all sorts of collections, that is why I love my colour drawers, I just look for something that will match or coordinate with the patterned papers and voila, they're added to the layout.

This time all the elements are from an old Generation Z range and a little bit of glimmermist on the background.

I was inspired by a layout by Nic Howard where she used a grungey stamp around the edge of the background and a couple of coloured strips along one side and black/white/grey strips next to the photo. (the element behind the photo is a transparency and the shiney-ness will disappear when the layout is placed in a plastic page protector.

I have my fingers, toes, knees, eyes and feet crossed that Scrapbook Corner will organise a big one-day-crop before Christmas so I am busily making more page kits, you know, just in case. :)
