I have made this page for the Flutter by Wednesday Challenge....we were to use a Sketch Challenge and have butterflies or fairies on our card - I have not used a SCS Sketch but definitely did use one for both of these, I am enjoying using the various challenges for my pages as well - makes it all interesting - for me anyway!! This is also for the Flourishes TImesless Tuesday Challenge where we are to use DP...and this certainly does!
I think I am finally finding my way with the scrapbooking, I have done these two pages of my DD2...I am doing double layouts, although the colours through the album will be eclectic the facing pages will flow together....
I don't know what it is about classes but so far, whatever I do there, I usually come home and take apart and redo it...adding different touches to get the end result! With this page I resorted to looking through 'Scapbooking Memories' and found a lovely layout to use by Wendy Anderson, loosely casing a page by Steph Caskey-Devlin - it caught my eye straight away!
I want each page to reflect the person it is about, my DD2 is a 'girlie girl' and these colours, flowers, butterflies are all so very her. I started with circles - nice thought....but hard to get my head around....as usual I came home and took it apart....I finished it off today and am happy with it too....these reflext DD2's early years so well...I wish I could say she was such an angel now!! LOL!
One day I was walking the kids to school and was telling DD2 off for something BUT must have gone on too long as she turned and said to me (ever so sweetly) 'You look beautiful today' then turned her head to the side and I heard her muttering 'especially with that BIG frown on your face!!' What can I say - she was 5 and has just turned 11 - HELP ME!!!

Linda, you aren't just "finally" finding your way in s/booking, you started out that way!! May goodness, you are really a natural and I so enjoy looking at your pages!!

Great minds think alike!! TFS!
