First of all I made this one:
which records my meeting last week with a favourite scrapbooker and blogger, the delightful Mardi Winen. When I was making this page, I was very conscious of wanting to put together something Mardi would like. I hope these flowers work!
I cut them from a sheet of Simple Stories Carpe Diem in the Main Kit. The sticky note frame and enamel dots are also from the Main Kit, the green "story" is in the Life Pages Themed Add On and the alphabet is from the Bits & Pieces Kit.
Next I went back to the beginning of May for a birthday picture and I made this page with a photo of the birthday girl checking her messages
I created a little bit of an inky background first and then picked out the colours of one of the papers from the 6x6 pad in the Bits & Pieces kit. The black "fronds" are a stamp from the Life Pages Kit and the acrylic pieces are in the Main Kit.
I love how this colour combination turned out!
And finally, for now, a recent story you might recognise about a knitting project I needed to rework.
This page originated with the little "these things happen" stamp
and with those two wood veneer clips, both from the Life Pages kit. See what I mean about the colours? They are shouting right now! to me. Everything from June's selections at Gossamer Blue. As for July, keep your eye on Gossamer Blue's IG feed. The sneaks of something big are starting.

All three layouts are fun fun fun ... although I know the topic of #3 was not fun.
Pretty pages - the first is my fave!
Wow you got to work on those stories quickly and made 3 really lovely pages!
Like I said on Insta....that title with the stripes on the Mardi page. LOVE! I'm sure she'll adore the flowers. The birthday page is a beauty & my fave, the sock story.....that tape, the pegs! So many goodies to feast one's eyes on. AND I must say, the colours in this kit are right up my street. LOVE!!
I have to say, they're just amazing .... I love what you've done with the kit, it's stunning. All the layouts are perfect ... My type of kit xxx
These are so so beautiful Sian. I adore the colours on the second one and would totally scrap lift the whole thing. If, y'know, I ever were to sit down to scrap again ...
I'm not big on florals, but I love all the pages and the moments you've captured. That last one is my favourite.
Oh, I love them! Gorgeous! I think the first one is my favorite. Just beautiful work!
Such wonderful, detailed pages! So much to catch your eyes---my fave? The last one with those wonderful clips---perfect for photos of your socks!
Three lovely summery layouts, I love all the layering that you do and the sentiment on the last layout is just perfect!
Hi Sian!
I just love your layouts and sense of style!
Pure eye candy for sure!
I'm a fan!!

I adore the layout you created to celebrate our meeting... but then...I adore everything you create. I have had the post holiday blues so badly since we came home....I've found it hard to settle to anything. I am hoping some scrapbooking inspiration grabs me soon because I have so many stories to tell. Our meeting still stands out as a holiday highlight even though it was ever so brief. Mardi x
