Paris: Champs-Elysées

http://creanijn-sketches.blogspot.com/ I'm actually getting to the end of my second scrapbook album ever:) I still have 2 double and 2 single layouts to go :) This layout is about the Champs-Elysées. The name says enough so I didn't add extra journaling. There is not a lot of colour in the pictures, so it was not easy to choose a colour scheme. I've finally choosen yellow-gold cardstock to reflect the glamour, although I have to admit I'm not really impressed with this avenue.

Creanijn Album Track II

I started last week showing the result from the Creanijn Album Track I attended a while ago. Before the workshop we received a mail from Vicky (http://creanijn.blogspot.com/) with the number and the sizes of the pictures we needed. It was quite a work to go from 800 to 50 vacation photos and I even had little discussions with my mum (= my travel partner). On the day of the Album Track we received a handout with all the sketches, so everyone could work in their own tempo. I really liked this concept!

This page is about the village where we stayed. Not so much to see there so one page was enough to show the highlights. The PP is from Scenic Route - Rockland Clarendon Street.

Creanijn Album Track

On 11/11/2010 I went to an album track, organised bij Vicky (http://creanijn.blogspot.com/). I'm not the world's fastest scrapper, so it was a great idea to have an album finished in 1 day.
It was a fantastic experience. I worked with Vicky's sketches from 09.00'till 17.30, with only a little break for lunch and some cake in the afternoon. The result was an album with all the patterned papers and pictures glued together. There was no time left to add details such as title, journaling and embellishments. It took me quite a while to have all this done at home. But now I'm proud to announce my first scrapbook is completed! To avoid an overdose of pictures I'll show a LO every week, starting with the cover today! It was actually the last page of the album track, as it's made with leftovers from the other pages. I created the title with Cricut-Georges and Basic Shapes cartridge.

Corfu: Halikiopoulos lagune

This is only the left part of a layout. The other half still needs journaling, but as it's a different subject you can also see them seperately. I created this for a challenge to use 4 torn edges on your layout. I finished it when the deadline had passed, but the main thing is I really like this page very much! I've used a Becky Fleck sketch from April 2006.

My supplies:
- cardstock
- patterned paper: My Mind's Eye - Magnolia- Serene "Dream" Floral/teal
- George and Basic Shapes Cricut cartridge
- Stabilo point 88

Kos: Zia

I'm working with two themes in my Kos album: Basic Grey papers and Creanijn sketches. The result on this page is a combination of Archaic papers with sketch 30 from Creanijn. I'm not 100% sure about the layout, maybe it looks a bit weird because the pictures are so close next to each other?

Album Cover

It seems the weather here doesn't know summer starts tomorrow, so I've had a creative Sunday afternoon. I've made a cover to put in the fotoalbum for 2 collegues that retired recently. I'm showing one 'cause they look exactly the same. I've used cardstock, Magnolia patterned paper and Cricut George and Basic Shapes cartridge
