Recent projects

Thought I would start a separate blog that was just for me. Hopefully I will find the time to post here as well as the shop blog, Facebook, Newsletter, Two Peas and the list goes on! I think at time we have become social media addicted! Anyway . . . back to the post - here are some recent projects to kick my blog off.


Now, the next one I am happy for you to give me some ideas on how it could have been done better, I think personally the photos should have been smaller, somehow it didn't have the 'look' I was hoping for. Another thought was that it should have had a solid mat around the whole layout? What do you think?
The below project would be a total departure from my usual scrapping style - I have always admired similar projects others have done and thought that looks simple yet striking. Well when I went to put the page together it wasn't that simple - it is amazing how the simplest looking things can take the largest of effort!


TFL - now off to spread the word about my new blog to my friends!

  3. Hi Suzanne! So glad to see your new blog! I look forward to seeing more of your work. In regards to the question about how the second layout could have been done better...I'm not an expert but I do agree with you that the photos could have possibly been smaller. I have the same issue sometimes and I dont want to crop the photos as I do want some of the background, but then once I crop them suddenly the whole layouts 'opens up'. Hope that helps a little! Keep up the good work. xoxo Nadia!

  4. Great feedback Nadia, I am tempted to do the sketch again with new photos just so I feel I have mastered it! Thanks for following!

  5. Hello to the new blog!! Hurray :-)
    I can't wait to get more insight into how you personally scrap. And can I just say I find it somewhat comforting that even someone like you who has every scrap supply you could possibly think of at your finger-tips still has the same struggles with putting layouts together that the rest of us have!! LOL!!
    But I do especially love your paint-splattered layout :-)

  6. Are you kidding!!?? That's why I have a design team - because I don't consider myself overly skilled at this stuff! Having every product at your disposal is no help at all!
    Thanks for following N!
