Using Thirds.

Recently, at shimelle.com I created a layout for a weekly challenge where you were encouraged to only fill 1/3 of the scrapbook page with your design.

Hello Gorgeous Boy.

If you follow my scrapbooking you will realise this was totally a challenge for me but to add lots of pattern & texture I used the branding strips to weave a "blanket" for my photo to sit on. My journalling is hidden behind the photo.

All the details of the challenge & other great examples can be found here at shimelle.com.

Shimelle Sketch Challenge

A few weeks ago I was creating for a Sketch Challenge at Shimelle.com. I've always like sketches as they are a great way to get your scrapbooking started.

This was my starting point.

3 Explorers.

I used all the space and star embellishments to scrap this photo taken at NASA. I used a Cut Shoppe file to create the white stars on   the background.You might not initially see the connection to the sketch but in fact I just moved all the elements closer together in the centre to allow more of the lovely background paper to show. My journalling is an the back as the front is busy enough!

Please pop over to Shimelle.com to see other great takes on this sketch plus more weekly challenges x
