Charmane is back today and has this gorgeous layout of herself in Singapore at the Bird Park chatting with the cute penguins. Charmane has gone with blue tones for her paper and added some larger chipboard pieces that really make an impact on her layout today. Running vertically on the left, Charmane has the Wavey Filmstrip, which she has lined with paper and altered in white, on top of that she has added the Shutter Set 2 and has also lines the Window Frame part with pattern paper and then altered the surrounds in a lovely blue. Tucked in around her photos, Charmane has cut the Decorative Doily Flourish Frame into 2 pieces, adding a piece top and bottom and altered in a Vintage Gold which adds a luxurious feel to it and draws your eye to the photos. To finish off, Charmane chose the Click Capture title and altered in shades of blue.

Loving this sweet, masculine layout Lisa has created of her son when he was much younger and love the chipboard elements she has chosen to add contrast and texture to her layout. Lisa has tucked some Mini Checkerboard Bits around her photo, altering these in an embossed Bright White finish and they really do pop off the page. Likewise she has added the same finish to the Steampunk Gear pieces, which she has stacked together. Lisa has also added an Aged Filmstrip which she has left in its raw state, and this is tucked to the left of her photo. For her title, she has chosen "Getaway" and finished it with the lovely white finish. To see and read more from Lisa regarding her layout, pop on over to the blog today -

Di joins us today with this beautiful girly layout in shades of purples and love the white on all the chipboard which really pops off the darker background on this layout.

Across the layout, Di has used the delicate Tahnya's Border and this also sits nicely under the floral cluster. To finish off Di has chosen the title "Click Capture" which finishes off the page perfectly.

Today's gorgeous inspiration comes from Rachael with this lovely mixed media layout of her son. Rachael has added some of the Mini Chunky Funky bits placed randomly across the layout and I love these for masculine pages and Rachael has simply just altered them with a thick coat of gesso and they add a texture to the background. To the base of her photo just above the sentiment strip, Rachael has added the Word Banner "remember" from Set 2. As she likes to do on all of her pages, Rachael has added the Month and Year pieces which is a great finishing touch and also a great way of remembering when the photo was taken.

✨THROW BACK THURSDAY✨

Today's beautiful inspiration was created back in 2020 by Marie Claude and is a gorgeous, feminine layout with lots of texture and layering and love the organic feel from this layout. Marie Claude has used the fine and dainty Florence Swirl pieces which she has tucked in around her photo and these have been simply painted in white paint. Amongst her clusters, Marie Claude has also used some Stella Stars which have been embossed with medium pink powder and placed amongst flower clusters. To finish off, she has heat embossed in a pale pink the lovely title and layered it over the edge of her photo.

Today I'm sharing one of my most favourite layouts by Di, with only boys to scrap it is always harder to find male layouts for inspiration, but this one is saved into my Inspiration folder and just love it. Di originally made this way back in 2018 and love the mixed media background and then the use of the chipboard to create depth and texture around the photo. Di has used the Brick Panel which she has cut up into pieces and tucked around the photo, she has added a Chain Length border cut into 2 and popping out top and bottom. On the right she has added the Deer Head pieces stacked on top of each other. A Geometric Arrow at the bottom pointing up to the photo and the Arrow Word "memories" finish off the layout. While Di is still undergoing treatment, it has been awesome looking back on some of her older work and I'm sure you'll agree this is one of her best.
