I want to share a Layout today that I have been making the last few days in stolen moments from revision!
I followed the sketch on Sarah's cards blog which can be found here.
I don't tend to use circles a lot in my pages so it was great for me to move out of my comfort zone. I flipped the sketch 90 degrees clockwise and worked from there. I started making the Layout with just a circle base but after finishing I found it needed a bit more depth to stop it looking crowded so I stuck it on a sheet of Kraft.
I have been meaning to make a page about blogging for so long and needed the perfect picture before I started. My old Blog header was perfect and had such deep colours so it was fun to pair it with these pale colours.
I tried to include aspects of my blogging in the elements of the page. therefore like my background i focused on it being shabby chic. I put buttons in there to emphasise the love of sewing, the stacked up paper for lots of ideas. Letters to emphaise all that typing and paint for a tad of mess! A few butterflies crept in there as well! Oh, and top tip, to make lovely glossy embellishments, coat them in nail varnish (I used a light bronze on the butterflies) Works a treat!
Thanks for stopping by

Hi Abi, gorgeous LO I love your scrapping style and you should definitely use circles more often! Love the tip on the nail varnish lol.
Thanks for entering our challenge :)
This is beautiful Abi! And I love the nail varnish idea - what a lot of possibilities there are with that one.
That is a gorgeous LO Abi and thank you for the tip
That is a cool page, Abi! I love the texture of the white paper background, with the stamped circles in blue. I also love the lacey circle and the little crinkly butterflies. It all hangs together very well - which can't only be because you used a sketch - I'm sure it's down to your skill most of all. I do like your scrapping style!
By the way, I did love that blog header - but I also love the new one. I like how your feet keep appearing on your blog!
Ooh great tip Abi, I love the layout :)
Abi, this is amazing! I love how you layer and add so much detail to your layouts :-)
