adorable....and a prize up for grabs!

my friend from Bloemfontien, Amanda, made this layout in Jeaunes Viljoen's last class at the shop. it is so pretty. she used the stunning Baby Steps range from Simple Stories.


she used a FabScraps chipboard title. these sometimes don't colour nicely with chalk inks. so we used some Walnut Stain Distress ink to add the brown. then i misted it with Heirloom Gold home made glimmer mist. then Amanda embossed it with two layers of UTEE. and wow. just look at that finish!


here is a close up of the journaling spot and the two little owls that Amanda used glossy accents on to emphasise them. and just look at those stunning FabScraps buttons! Jeaunes' layout feautured her kitty kat - just goes to show how versatile scrapbooking is - anything goes!

this is the original layout by Jeaunes. she is a very talented lady and she just loves using paper - and rightly so! you can view some of her work on her blog, and she is also a design team member for Let's Scrap. beautiful scrapbook papers are the basis of this industry. i know that the trends predict a year filled with even more other crafts being incorporated into Scrapbooking, but for me a stunning layout is still what draws me to this artform. i enjoy the beyond the page and mixed media projects, but i started scrapbooking to preserve my memories and to tell a story about that memory. what do you like most about scrapbooking? please share your feelings - i have a stunning Joe Niemand (english) cd and some scrapping goodies up for grabs as a lucky draw at the end of the month for someone who leaves a comment about this topic. i will post overseas, so it makes no difference where you are. you can post your comment it here and then just share it on Facebook as well if you like. enjoy the weekend! xx
