Hitchhiker's Guide to Scrapbooking

I've been eyeing off this course on Two Peas for some time now. I had promised myself that if I FINALLY got my scraproom clean I would purchase the class as a reward to myself. Well after 8 months in the room I still hadn't got the room clean. I decided to purchase the class using my scrapbooking budget because I realised I might be waiting 20 years for the room to be clean.

I have to say I'm most impressed with the class. Of course I love Shimelle so that helps but I've already created 4 pages using only the first lesson. Imagine how many I'll complete once I've been through all the lessons. Every night this week I have completed a page. This class is really helping me get my mojo back. 

This layout is about my daughter's godfather who she calls "my Josh". We chose really well. He is such a wonderful young man and Hannah just adores him. I think it is hard to tell who loves who more. 

The stamped flower I have had in my pink embellishment box for years. I don't know why I kept it but it works well on this layout. This layout came together really easily. Thanks Shimelle.

I found this photo a little difficult to know how to match paper colours to because there is so much colour in the background and her school uniform doesn't match with the bright colours of her hat. I decided not to match the colour to the paper, obviously. I went with some themed paper and bright colours. I like how it turned out in the end.

I used the Stampin' Up lace punch and layered over the border strip. I like the subtle texture this gives. I've also used a lot of washi tape on my 4 layouts. This is a new technique to me. I didn't understand what all the hype was about until I got some. Now I'm in love.

 Tonight I'm creating another layout using the class. My darling husband has informed me this layout needs to be about him or our latest addition. The layout will be about my darling husband because as the 5th child I have yet to print any photos of our darling little boy. I guess that's a job for next week.
