Scrapbook Club

I will be holding my scrapbook club on Friday, for this months layout I decided to use Black and Cream colour theme.  I think this has worked out well and gives a lovely elegant feel to the layout and would work well with so many different photos.

I used the Circle Circus stamp set to create the background for the layout - there are a lot of layers on the first page as one of the best things about Stampin' Up! products is everything works together - I have used various punches to layer up the stamped circles.

I have altered the photos of Lucy, changing them to black and white to fit in with my theme, adding a couple of buttons from the Neutrals Collection with the punched circles. I bravely used the stamp-ma-jig with the Broadsheet Alphabet stamp set for "Lucy" stamping directly on to my page. 

Adding some of the gorgeous wide black and cream grosgrain ribbon, pleating it with a couple of pearls adding to the elegant feel of this layout.  The circles were again punched and layered up to make a little embelishment for the ribbon. I used the Journaling Pen to record a few details about the photographs.

In real life the colours are really vivbrant as Darran seemed to capture the early morning light through the trees perfectly - Lucy is sitting amongst the blue bells on her way back down from Roseberry Topping.

I am really enjoying making use of the photos left un-printed and neglected on the computer!  If you would like to find out more about my scrapbooking club please contact me for further details.
