Wimpey

It was a surprise to find a Wimpey when I we were on holiday in the Isle of Wight and visiting there made me think of all of the differences there was between a MacDonalds. This layout was to highlight what these were.

The journaling spots around the layout were good for the points I wanted to make, would use them again but only if I was telling a story in a similar short sentence/point way, copying Karen's method of journaliing.

The flowers I made by punching circles from patterned paper – some which I had used as part of the back ground and some co-ordinating patterned paper. I got this idea from a "expert" scrapbooker but I apologise that I can not remember the scrapbookers name. I took a lesson learnt in my Decorate Life class and combined different styles and colours of brads to make the centre of the flowers.

Over all am happy with the layout. Only thing I may do differently in the future was to mat the photo to make it stand out more.

 Lessons Learnt

1. You can create your own flowers using different six circles.
2. Mixing colours, sizes and styles of brads can look effective
3. Sometimes you need to mat a photo to make it pop off the page
4. You can mix different makes and patterns of paper together and it still looks good.Sometimes the title is in the photo already.
