Thankyou BREE!!!!
I'm not sure if I blogged about this before, but while we are on the topic of Scrapping Inspiration, I have to share this website with you all....
Scrap-maps.com by the wonderful Bree Clarkson.
These sketches are AWESOME!
I don't know if anyone else has noticed this, but I have a real weakness when it comes to fitting in more than one photo on a layout. And then as soon as I try to fit in some journalling too, well, forget it. My layouts almost always look yuck. But I'm running out of single photo *moment* layouts and it's time to scrap some EVENTS instead. So quite late last night, I jumped onto Bree's site and started hunting for ideas.
This layout was inspired by one of her sketches.... it's not the same, but it was definitely an *aha* moment.
Not to mention that it suddenly evolved into a 2 pager, which is a rare thing for me... and most other digi-scrappers I know.... I don't know what the percentage is, but the vast majority of layouts are singles.
But this was GREAT FUN and I loved doing it and will be doing it again!!
On a side note, these photos, were of course, taken with my baby camera.... and seriously, you can't tell that much of a difference. Canon quality!!
After this was finished, I actually got another layout *done* but I'm still not sure if it's finished or not, so you'll just have to be patient a bit longer!! *wink*
So, stay tuned!!
Oh, and BY THE WAY!! How do you like the new look? Let me know, ok??

Fonts used were Another, CK Mixnmatch, 4990810. As always, created in Photoshop7. I am especially proud of my ribbon that is wrapped around the photo block on page2.... my skills are definitely improving.

Great layout. I'm loving the doubble page too. It is a rare thing in digi land, and seeing this I am inspired to give it a go.
GREAT photos of Sammy the Super Fish ... isn't he doing great? I love the new look ... almost thought I was in the wrong place for a moment when I clicked on Cass in my blog list and ended up on a strange page! Looks beautiful ... :)
Great upgrade!!! LOVE IT!!!
