I know it's been ages since I last posted but life has just been super crazy lately. To apologise for my absence, I thought I might offer a little blog candy to one lucky commenter so be sure to read all the way to the end of this post :)
Today I have something a little different to share with you all. I've done a scrapbook page for The Stamp Spot's June Spot Challenge
I actually started off as a scrapbooker but I haven't actually done a layout for a year or two now. I had so much fun getting back into it and I {LOVE} how this page turned out!
To
make this cute little bumble bee, I cut a small circle for his head and an oval for his body using my Spellbinders dies. I
then adhered some pieces of thin black grosgrain ribbon onto
his body and drew a smiley face onto the circle. His antenna is actually a heart
shaped paper clip. I've just pulled the curly bits apart and then adhered it to
the back of his head. Super cute, hey? That gorgeous crocheted flower was a gift from the wonderful Patrice. Thanks Patrice! :) I added a button to it and tied it up with some twine.
I don't know how or why it started it, but I always put the child's initial that I'm doing the LO for somewhere on the page. That's why there's also an "r" (for Rhys) die cut there as well :)

Welcome back to blogging and with a gorgeous layout to boot! I love all the little special touches and the cute crochet flower you scored from Patrice! ... and of course I follow your lovely blog :)
Hi Sandra,
You're layout is simply divine!! I love the colours, your little bumble bee and the embellishments. I dont have anything that I HAVE to do on a page. I do like making straight lines, and struggle with things that aren't even, or even worse unbalanced.....
I've been a follower for a while now :)
thanks for sharing!
Such a cute scrapbook page. I started with scrapbooking, too, but now I'm hopelessly into card making. Your post just may have given me the push I need to get going on it again. Thanks! (I'm a follower.)
What a gorgeous page Sandra! Love everything about it, the layout, the colours, but especially, the beautiful photo! I normally have to pull out my sponges for my projects, in one form or another! I am also and avid follower ♥
Love your layout page. The colors and all the little details make it so special. I always have to put a heart on all my cards. It may be on the back, or the way I dot an "i", somewhere on the card there's a heart. That's my qwirky thing. I'm also a follower.

My idea of scrapbooking??? Adding as many pics to the page as I can ... and attaching a few accents to highlight! I am such an amateur scrapper! But ... this page has inspired me to get out my scrap book and have another go! Sigh ... if only I had the time! Hugs xxx
Forgot to say I was a follower ... but you probably already knew that! Hugs xxx
I think I first saw this little beauty pop up in my dashboard during Convention weekend. Cannot believe it's taken me so long to come back and leave a comment...
Such a beautiful page. Love your colour choices, love that divine pic and all your special little touches. So glad you found a use for your crochet flower.
