LAYOUTS WITHIN LIMITS - A BLOG HOP


Hello, and welcome to part 3 of how i made a kit and used it to create 3 layouts, all thanks to the lovely Glitter Girl! Choosing supplies and sticking to that choice (instead of changing your mind four times in 30 min for instance *true story*) is something a lot of people have a hard time with apparently, and so today i am not alone in sharing my layout. Three others scarpbookers - senoritascrapper from her blog senoritaml.wordpress.com, Danielle Higginbottom-Brown from piperloo.blogspot.com, and Toni from her blog Life, Scrapbook, Repeat - have joined and i strongly invite you to go and check their awesome layout!

But first, here's a complete look at mine:
You should be able to recognize a lot of elements from the last layout i showed you Quiet, empty streets, like the yellow and purple papers, and the lettering (i had to swith the stickers from the pink to the green version because i was missing some letters for my title). The two layouts are still very different i would say, and won't even go in the same album (this one is of Washington while the other is about Ottawa). And i got to used supplies i loved twice. Lots of stamps too, which was in fact the first step of putting this layout together. I marked where the pictures would go and from there created a diagonal of stamp to embellish my background in a more subtle way (plus i have way too much stamps, need to use them!) I used the grey ink from Hero Art Shadow Ink. A few little embellishments here and there and that was it! What do you think?Before you go, here's a little peak at Senioritascrapper, Danielle and Toni's layouts:

Did you say 4 photos and a one page layout? Yep, she made it!
Did you say awesome corky background? yep, it's awesome! 
i NEED geotags. i every color! check that layout!
