This month our layout has a bit of a vintage feel although I happen to have used photos of my children on my two sample pages, who are definitely not vintage yet! I have used one 6×4 portrait photo on each layout, but it is a flexible design which can be varied depending on what you want to use.

There will ba choice of kits. Some are definitely feminine in feel, and the others more masculine – although there are flowers in both kits!

Here are lots of sneak peaks from the two layouts – all mixed up and in no order – so I hope they give you an intriguing glimpse to what we will be making.

The masculine title, but with a couple of other combinations you could make with the kit:

The feminine kit title. The alternative in the kit is “A Perfect Day”. 

Patterned papers are from Prima and Kaisercraft.

I hope you like what you see. If you have not booked yet please give us a ring on 01844 208996 or email us on info@amazeofmemories.com. We do need to know as the kits contain a lot of different elements so we need time to put them together!

You can view the class list here with all the dates and times of scrap club sessions:

 Equipment you can bring if you have it (although we do have everything needed in the craft room) – Distressing tool, eyelet setter, small hole punch.

 I have two layouts to share that have been made for our optional scrap club challenge using the design from February.

This first page has been made by Tessa Miller and features her little grandchildren. Tessa has stamped and then heat embossed pale pink swirls onto her background card.

Tessa has hand made these gorgeous flower. Amazing isn’t it!

Tessa has also added die cut swirls (Tim Holtz die) which have also been covered in the same embossing powder so they have a great texture.

The tag pulls out with Tessa’s journaling. A really lovely page to showcase such a fabulous photo.

The next page has been made by Michelle Hobbs using a photo from her teenage years in 1975!

Michelle has used a beautiful Spellbinders die-lites swirl for two of her corners:

Michelle has added stamped swirls and a die cut sparkly flower. The title has been cut from the same gold glittery card. 

Two lovely pages with the same starting point but have turned out so differently. Thanks Tessa and Michelle for sharing them with us.

Two more layouts to share today, both inspired by our scrap club design, and both made by our Carolyn.

Carolyn has included the tag she made with Lindsay Mason on Saturday on this first page! What a great idea. Rather than use ink splatters on this page Carolyn has used a mask in the left hand corners.

Here is a close up of the tag with Lindsay’s Do Lally Pip character “Hopeful Harriet” – complete with bunches. The same as Carolyn’s daughter in the photo!

The second layout celebrates some-one else special to Carolyn – her handsome cat Harry. I like the blue background and mix of patterned papers that Carolyn has used…

…and I love Carolyn’s  title strip. And that “PURFECT” is NOT a spelling mistake!

The pull out journaling tags have some extra stamping on them to tie in with the theme of the page. 

Thanks Carolyn for sharing your two layouts. I love both your takes on our initial scrap club inspiration.

I have another layout to share based on this months scrap club design. I have included all the hot current trends but just arranged elements on the page a little differently.

I added a large swirly corner which I had left over from another project. I added a punched bunny with an Easter egg shaped brad.

More Easter egg brads  along one of the banner strips – plus lots of stitching.

More stitching – and a die cut title.

The words egg hunt have been cut with the Hero Arts alphabet dies. 

I added lots of ink splatters and “confetti”.

I rather like this variation. What do you think?

Lots more ideas to share. I snapped these layouts as they were being made at scrap club as I loved all the variations our clever scrappers were coming up with!

Karen Ballentine stitched her title strip to the background:

Caroline Ebsworth added ink splatters to the title strip itself:

Carolines daughter home from uni ink splattered the letters, and added stitching behind:…

I also like the way there are extra little stitches on the layout:

I especially liked the little patch:

Katie Craig added a sprinkling of pearls to her title strip: 

Brenda had never stitched on a layout before so this was a first for her!

Great stitching and I like the way that Brenda has added an extra photo on the pull out tag. 10/10 for finishing her journaling too!

Bethan Joy used two colours of thread in on one line of stitching for a fun effect: 

Our Pat, as usual, has added lots of extras to her page and it looks fantastic! 

Pat has added doodling and faux stitching ….

….and flowers and gems to the patterned paper too!

Pat includes stitching on all her pages so was in her element this month. I LOVE all the different stitches that Pat has included

And our youngest scrapper this month was Amy who will be 9 next month. Amy is  Sue Sheltrums’ granddaughter. Amy completed the layout and included some Easter ribbon she had bought with her, plus two photos.. Great work Amy!

I hope you have also enjoyed seeing some of the different colour schemes we put together for the kits. I really enjoyed seeing how everyone’s pages turned out.

I have snapped the first optional challenge that has been completed so will have more layouts to share over the coming week.
