The Place Where I Belong - Sue's scrapbooking pages

Hi and welcome back to the Aunty Vera Scrap and Craft Blog.  

For my final project for this month I decided to do some scrapbooking.  I was inspired to try using a scrapbook layout sketch, thanks to Amira for reminding me of them.  I have never used one before, normally I just go with what I think looks good.

The materials I used were;

Carta Bella Farmhouse Market Paper – 3x4 Journaling cards

Carta Bella Farmhouse Market Paper – Vintage Floral

Carta Bella Farmhouse Market Paper – 4x6 Journaling cards

Carta Bella Farmhouse Market Paper – Timeless Floral

Carta Bella Farmhouse Market Paper – Barn Floral

Carta Bella Farmhouse Market Chip Board Phrases

Carta Bella Farmhouse Market Frames & Tags

Finnabair Art Basics Alterable Flowers

Tim Holtz Distress Ink – Walnut Stain

Paper Flowers of various sizes from my own supplies.

I searched the internet for a suitable sketch and came up with one I thought fitted the pictures I had.

 

The first step for me was to cut my papers down to A4 size, as my album is A4. After much debate I chose the Vintage Floral and the back of the 4x6 Journaling cards. 

 

I then cut 2 pieces for my middle strip as per the sketch. The strips were 7cm wide and the length of the A4 paper. 

Then I decided which photos were going to go on each page.  Because one photo was not as good as I was hoping I decided to use it for now and when the conditions are right I will take a better photograph. 

 

My next step was to sort through the ephemera pack and the chipboard phrases and decide on which elements I wanted to use.  I decided I needed to add the remaining two alterable flowers. 

I glued down the middle strip and put a mat behind each of the photographs. I used the pink side of the 4x6 Journaling cards.

 

The next stage was to embellish the page with the Finnabair Art Basics Alterable Flowers, the

ephemera from the Farmhouse Market Chip Board Phrases and the Farmhouse Market Frames & Tags.  I also added some smaller paper flowers from my own supplies. 

 

The finished page.

 

The second page was done in the same manner. 

I hope my scrapbook pages have inspired you to use one of the many set layout sketches that can be found on the internet.

Happy Crafting.
