Designer Showcase - Romy Veul

For my designer showcase I thought it would be a nice idea to make two layouts about myself and write down some fun facts about me on them. In that way I can share a little bit about me with you. Lately I am incorporating more journaling in my lay-outs, especially when I scrap about me. I want my scrapbook to be like a diary: something I can look back at later and remember special moments, fun facts and notes to self.

 For my first layout I used the gorgeous Serenade collection.
On this layout I recorded five of my dreams at the age of 19. I thought they deserved a lay-out in my book, so I can look back at my current dreams when I am older.
My journaling says:
'My dreams for the future @ 19:
1. Living at a place where I am surrounded by animals
2. Having a family with four sweet children
3. Working in the editorial staff of a magazine
4. Traveling to Australia
5. Learning to ride horses

 On my second layout I used the wonderful Apple Cider collection. I love the warm colours and thought they matched my ginger hair very well.
This layouts records my addiction for dresses. If I could, I would definitely wear them all year long.
My journaling says:
A dress has the same effect on me as chocolate has on many other people.
As soon as I can wear my summer dresses again, I start to shine.

Creative Journaling

What I love about today's topic,
is how many different directions you can take it.

I looked up creative in the Thesaurus and here are some
other words for it....

creative:

clever, cool, formative, gifted, hipingeniousinnovative, inspired, inventive, leading-edge, original, productive, prolific, stimulating, visionary, way out, artistic, imaginative

and these ladies definitely have the creative juices flowing!

Title: My Place of Peace
by: Gabrielle Pollacco

A friend of mine just finished writing her second fiction book (scrapping related) and in honor of her book release I played along with a challenge on her blog. So I combined that challenge with this one one journaling. (the challenge at her blog was to scrap about a special place where you can be 'yourself') I chose my bedroom, the one place I always keep clean & tidy, my place of refuge to read, scrap & relax.


In the past I used to use a fun form of journaling that adds a design element to the page and that is to scrap in a circle design or around the edges of photo or page elements. Here I stitched a circle with the zig-zag setting on my sewing machine and then journaled around the edges of the circle.

 I also used a few of the gorgeous new BB blooms on this layout (gotta say, I was in heaven unloading the DT box!!)

Supplies:
Patterned Paper: Serenade; Garden (both sides), Poppies (both sides)
Cardstock: Khaki dot
6x6 Double Dot Pads: Natural Necessities, Very Vintage
Stickers: Serenade Combo Sticker Sheet
Buttons: Serenade
Stamps: Serenade, Midnight Frost

Life is about creating yourself

Designer Tip: I used the Little Miss paper as the base of my layout. This sheet has a few text strips printed on it. I decided to follow these strips when adding journaling to my layout. So I added some of them a little diagonally for a playful look.
