Please let me hear from you!

This blog is for sharing a love of paper crafting. I love paper crafting -
and Stampin' Up! products in particular -
so much so, that I became an independent Stampin' Up!®™ demonstrator earlier this year!

Enjoy browsing my blog, and I'd love to hear from you.
It is what helps make the time I put into this blog feel worthwhile, and always brightens my day.

Bruges to Damme

Today's scrapbook pages started as a "hopscotch" challenge.  The page needed to be made with 75% white space, have a hand-made embellishment on it, and use something from my stash that was in abundant supply.  

Page #1:

This first page met that challenge - the white space you can see for yourself, the red bicycle was hand-made using a stamp on red foil paper (stamped with a Bo Bunny stamp, heat embossed in black, backed with card stock & fussy cut), and the surplus element was the letter stickers used on the page titles.  I really didn't care much for this first page.  I had hoped that the two bicycle embellishments (one hand-made, one a Dazzles sticker) would pair up with the main bicycle in the picture to create the "rule of three" look, but I'm not sure that happened - and overall the page looked pretty plain. 

Update 3/7/2023:

After going through the rest of my memorabilia, I found the map and brochure that we got at the bike rental place and added pockets for them.

Page #2:


I did not really like the first page, but when I created a companion page for it, I got the result shown in the first picture above - and I really like that.  Together they accomplish what neither one alone can do.
