When I need some inspiration for a scrapbook layout I look for a sketch layout online. It gets me started and leads to a personalised layout of my own. Being part of the Scrapbook Global Blog Hop is also a great way for me to get inspired. It helps me to create regular scrapbook layouts, rather than always making cards with my products. This months’ blog hop is a sketch created by Margaret Hammersley Spencer, a guest designer. We all get to create our own layouts from her sketch, and I am really excited to see what everyone has created.
My photos came from the last Stampin’ Up OnStage event in Melbourne. As a demonstrator, we get together each year to celebrate each other, craft, and see lots of new products. Next year the event will be in Brisbane. I cannot wait, already saving up.
I loved creating this layout, as it brought back fabulous memories of the time I had in Melbourne. I got to hang out with my friend Sharon and made a few new friends too.
I have used the following supplies, which can be ordered from my online store at

I created a background texture using VersaMark ink and the large stamp that comes with the Layers of Beauty bundle. Each corner of the layout was stamped.
I fussy cut some of the beautiful flowers from the Forever Love Designer Series Paper. I then used a small blending brush to colour the Paper Butterflies with Pretty Peacock ink.
The background paper layers are made up of one Gold Foiled Flowers card, cut in half, two strips of Pretty Peacock cardstock and half sheet of Flowers Forever Designer Series Paper. My photos were matted on Pretty Peacock cardstock, so they would stand out.
The OnStage logo came from the place mats at our crafting table. I found a friends die amongst my stamp stash and used the 1’ circle punch that is now retired. You could use any circle dies if you don’t have the punch.
The final part was to add a twine bow and some sequin bling.

Great layout. I love how you have used the large flower stamp and to stamp it using VersaMark. This is a technique I do on cards but now on a scrapbook layout. I also love how you have cut embellishments from the Designer Series Paper. Thank you for sharing.
