day of scrapping

Whilst watching the FA cup final and the grand national today i fancied doing some scrapping. On the forum i go on we've got some scrapbook page layouts on there for some inspiration(taken from an inspiration blog i think), so it gave me something to work with. It's the first time i've done a LO from a sketch and i did find it easier to follow what was there.

I had these lovely photos of my sis and niece and thought they fit well into the sketch. There is meant to be a 3rd photo on the biggest circle, but i hadn't got anymore printed from that day(yet) so the space is there to add one if i want to.

I used some pretty pink flowery paper as a background and some good old bazzill. The gorgeous blue spotty paper is from sandilion and i'll be stocking up with more of it!

I chose pink and blue from colours in the photo and added some light green as that brought it all together with the title, which is from K+Co.

For the circles i cut round some of the flowers of the background paper and added some chipboard flowers i got free with scrapbook inspirations and some primas. One of the centres of the chipboard flowers didnt match with the colours so i drew round the centre flower onto some other chipboard and covered it with some of the blue paper to tie it all in. A few brads, including a gorgeous sugar coated brad from doolebug added detail to the flowers, and i finished adding some heart+flower rub ons from doodlebug.

i really enjoyed making it and will be ordering lots of photos now to do more for Emily's scrapbook.
