Here are the first three class layouts that I did at the Sarah's Cards Retreat last weekend. I'm not one for following instructions or doing as I'm told so, being a rebel, I put my own spin on each of the designs and made them all A4 to fit my albums.
The first class on Friday evening was by Claire and involved lots of handcutting and some misting. I held back on the handcutting as it's not really me and also kept my journaling on the outside as I prefer to be able to see the story. The layout's about how Evie absolutely loves watching 'Strictly Come Dancing' and how we went to see the live show in January 2010.
The first class on Saturday was by Lianne. We took a piece of American Crafts die-cut paper and cut out sections of the individual flowers and leaves before backing them onto other papers and creating a collage on the page behind the photograph. This is the last photo of us still being a family of four taken on a weekend away in Scarborough back in November, a few weeks before George arrived. I also now know how to make my own kraft luggage tags to add to my layouts (apparently everyone knows how to do this and I'm coming to it late!)
The last class of the morning was by Rachael and was all about distressing and layering. Not my usual style at all but I took bits from the original layout and left some off. Again, I kept my journaling visible and I also added stitching and staples.
I love this photo of Evie, Oliver and George. The big two look so happy and George completely content in his older siblings company. If only they were always like this!

They are all gorgous Helen, and that photo of the 3 of them is beautiful!
Did you put a heart mask on your strictly LO? I did one at my crop on Sat, but I think I over did the misting lol
Love T xx
Haha! I'm totally the same, I never go to classes any more because I always end up doing my own thing anyway! love how you layered pp behind the die cut paper.
