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!

Congrats on the new blog :-) tis great!!! I really like this last LO of yours - love the splattering on kraft :-) looking forward to following your blog :-)
ReplyDeletemwah! thanks Chloe!
ReplyDeleteLooking good Suzanne. Love that you have this blog! Love this layout, love that doiley, love the design, love the paint splatter!
ReplyDeleteHi 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!
ReplyDeleteGreat feedback Nadia, I am tempted to do the sketch again with new photos just so I feel I have mastered it! Thanks for following!
ReplyDeleteHello to the new blog!! Hurray :-)
ReplyDeleteI 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 :-)
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!
ReplyDeleteThanks for following N!
