Not really sure...

have you ever finished a layout and still weren't really sure if that's how you wanted it to look like or if there was something else that you can do, can add or even change... well that's kinda what I feel about this one.

Photobucket

not really sure if it's finished, not really sure if that was what I initially had in mind... not really sure I like it, but at least it helped me used up my old stash of little yellow bicycle - these papers are from their previous valentine collection "love letters" (I still can't believe where all the stuff came from). And just to think, there's just so much more that I would love to have from the new CHA collections.

and if you noticed, there's a certain trend going on with my pages. the yellow theme, the misting and the twine (yes... in love with these). and check out that amazing stamp from Stamping Bella - "10 things I love about you" - super versitile too, imagine not inking the words and volla - you got a mini memo pad.

Photobucket
supplies used include:
cardstock: american crafts (white); pattern paper: little yellow bicycle; stamp: stamping bella and daisy bucket (circle); stickers: little yellow bicyle; chipboard letters: american crafts; mist: maya road - sunflower yellow; others: buttons; baker's twine
inspired for: Scrapgal Little Yellow Bicycle Challenge and Your Scrapstash Sketch Challenge

well off to bed now... and feel free to leave any pointers or what you think of this layout.
thanks

  1. This is a beautiful LO. I love your clustering of embelishments, the repetition of the photos and your journalig.

    I think it would look even better if you had moved the journaling up above the photos and embelishments. That way the composition would be more balanced. Not easy to do though, after everything is glued down!

  2. I have to say you use yellow well ! very well !

    I am terrified of yellow sometimes , thinking it may not work so well with us who are non blondes & Asians .lol .

    When in doubt , I'd say mist a little bit more ( yes even after everything's nicely pasted down ) , or stitch a little for that satisfied , finished feeling . or add some felt, fabric , buttons , stamping . these are sure to add a little bit more without necessarily adding too much !

    I'm all ready to head to LP this am ! ;)

  8. I love it. I love how you've arranged the three photos across the top leaving lots of white space. I love the journaling strips on top of a couple of journaling spots. Love how you've grouped everything. I wouldn't change anything :)
