I have 2 layouts to share today. The first is for the cybercrop happening over at The Scrapbook Establishment. It was my pleasure to set the inspiration challenge.

Here’s the inspiration:

Here’s the other criteria for the challenge:

1. Your layout must be either pink or blue or a combination of both pink and blue. You may use black/white or a hint of another colour if need be.

2. You must include a tag on your layout. Mine is tucked away, but it is still there.

3. You must have a repeating element on your layout. I repeated the use of fabric and butterflies.

Here’s my example:

I had fun making the fabric flower, they seem to be pretty popular at the moment, but I think it takes up too much room. Still, it is nice though.

The other layout I have to share is in this month’s Scrapbook Creations. It is in Ngaire Bartlem’s Top Ten feature. The topic was ‘It’s all about me’. I didn’t think too much about the content in the photo until after I had scrapped it so I was unsure whether it would be published or not, yes, it is a ruski alcopop in the photo. Oops.

I drew the heart and cut it out of an old pizza box, because lets face it, I have plenty hidden in a wardrobe. I covered it with some old postage stamps. FYI the best place I found to buy stamps was on ebay. I think one pack I bought was like $3 for 200 stamps. I love them for their vintage feel and the colours in them. I also used one on my Master’s entry for the picture. Very handy as a little embellishment.
