Crosses of Hope Scrapbook Layout

My daughter had her Confirmation a fortnight ago and after scrapping my son's Confirmation and Communion last year, I knew I needed Stampin' Up's! 'Crosses of Hope' stamp set before I even began to tackle her pages, so this stamp set was my latest purchase. I love how there are 3 crosses to choose from and they make card making for these events a breeze too.

 

Here is my layout:

 

The layout would suit Baptism, Confirmation or Communion.

 

Pre-School Layout

Well, this doesnt need to be a pre-school photo layout, but it's what originally inspired me. It has been made to suit the large photos that you get in your pre-school photo pack: the gorgeous portrait photo on the 1st page and the class photo on the 2nd page, but the matting could be cut up to suit normal 6 x 4 photos of your littles ones doing craft, painting, playing at playgroup or just some bright photos of them being their cute-selves. 

 

The white square can be used for a heading or a sub-title, maybe the name of the pre-school on the 1st page, and the name of their room or class in the second.

 

Another layout with lots of options.

 

Here it is made with Red:

I have also done an option with Pink:

Cheaper Than Therapy Challenge Submission # 9

For this weeks challenge, we had two Stampin' Up! colour combinations to choose from, using Tangarine Tango. Hubby decided on the colours because I just couldn't decide. Then he told me they were 'beachy' colours, so naturally I couldnt get that out of my head. I have turned the original layout sketch on it's side and I have also added a 2nd page to turn it into a double layout. I hope you like it. I think it is going to be so nice once it's finished with photos. I can also think of a couple of friends who have gorgeous photos from their trips to Malta who may just like this layout too. We might just have to change the Pacific Point background to Tempting Turquoise to match the awesome colours of the water over there.

Be sure to blog hop over to Adele and Rachael's blogs to see what awesome creations they have come up with.

Cheaper Than Therapy Challenge 5 Submission!

Can't believe how much I enjoyed doing this layout. Much easier than I thought and LOOK I even did it in a double layout! How did you get on Adele & Rach with your 'green' and 'brown' monochromatic challenges?

The colours I used were Stampin' Up!s Bashful Blue and Pacifc Point. I also used DSP spotty paper from the Celebrations pack and the Pacific Point Stripes from the Brights Paper Stack.
