I have something a little different for you, if you saw my post yesterday I shared a sneak peek and well today I have the full share for you all...
Today is the start of a new challenge for Simon Says and this week we have a sketch created by Dawny..super talented gal she is...
I decided to change it up and move out of the comfort zone of creating cards and yes you guessed it, I created a layout, this layout I had a huge amount of fun with and came together quite quickly. Moving out of the comfort zone also by creating a layout about ME, which I find a very hard thing to do, but I pushed through the barrier and created away.
I used lots of the Neopolitan line from American Crafts, I know that a lot of these products are currently out of stock, but keep checking as I am sure it won't be long and they will be there for purchase once again.
Using my favourite white with lots of pattern paper, by creating a collage of Hexagon pattern paper to one side of the layout, adding tags I created from scraps of white card stock, adding stamping, punched butterflies, twine and brads to these tags. I also used up scraps of pattern paper from this collection to create a banner to the other side of the layout, stitching it onto the main card stock and adding butterflies with pearls and brads.
I just adore the soft palette and as I said I have a huge amount of fun creating this layout..

You're a natural scrapbooker too Joy! LOVE this LO. So soft, feminine and happy! Love the pennants and hexagons, just gorgeous!
So not only do you make the most awesome cards, you can make the most awesome layouts ... love this. Scrapping about myself is one of the hardest things I find to do ... so hats off to you for stepping out and doing this.
Wow, Joy, your layout is amazing!! I love how you used the hexagon pattern and the banner too. The soft colors work fantastically with the look of your photo. I really think you should do a lot more layouts. You are a natural!!
xoxo, Christine
