Scrapbook Layout Inspiration


A very good morning  everyone! It has been a few days since I last blogged:(
.....Saturday was my grandsons 4th birthday (Ollie who is in my layout below), so we had a family day and yesterday I was up at the crack of dawn travelling  down to Gravesend to spend the day with some very nice ladies for 2 classes at Christine Emberson's studio - Hope & Chances:) We made the criss cross card with a tag that I featured on my blog on Thursday.....both classes were so much fun and I hope the ladies all went away inspired:) They did an amazing job including making the gorgeous roses that I use on my cards!

I decided to share one of my scrapbook layouts with you today, hoping to inspire all of you card makers to maybe create one:).....The precious little ones are my granddaughter Amelia and my cheeky little grandson Ollie:)x


  • For this layout I have used the of the sheet from the Once Upon a Time collection which has been specifically designed for a layout....however you can still use it  for cards and other projects!
  • I have used the layout design which is already on the paper, but turned it around.
  • I added my photos first and then added a length of pearls down the lace design on the paper.
  • I have used the Timeless Clock stamp set and Time Sentiments stamp set which I stamped onto cream card with Versamark ink and heat embossed with Cosmic Shimmer black detail embossing powder. I added a little Tea Dye Distress ink to distress them a little.
  • The flowers are the Majestic Morning Blooms which I have stamped onto some patterned paper from the Once Upon a Time collection. I just added these where the flowers were on the paper and added one large one where the sentiment was on the paper....which was now upside down as I turned the paper around.
  • I added a few of the foliage swirls from the Gift Ensemble die set.
  • I cut the tag also from the collection and also added this to the layout.
  • I have just added a small amount of stickles around the photos and a few pearls to finish off the layout!
So have I inspired you? .....The Heartfelt Creations papers are perfect for those of you that would love to give scrapbooking a go:)

Now I must get back to my crafting....busy prepping for this Fridays Hobby House show:)

Take care,

  2. Hi Nikki
    Just love your layout, aren't the children cute. Wish I could have joined as it looks like to had a great time at Hope and Chances. I really loved the crisscross card you made and that was on your blog. I actually had time to watch your show on C & C yesterday. How fabulous your cards were. The first card with the clock background was simply gorgeous. Just goes to show how any mistake is not a mistake really. as the card you made was as fantastic as the one you made for the show. If that makes sense. Hope you had a fantastic day on Sat. I think I may even run to buying the paper pad for this collection as well.

  3. Lovely layout Nikki. I've only tentatively tried my hand at scrapbooking, but if I could guarantee results like yours I'd make a serious effort. I have seen photos on Christine's blog from your classes yesterday. Without a doubt the ladies were definitely inspired and had a wonderful time..
