Whispering Woods - Let's Scrap -

Hi there, and welcome!
Whether you’re here for inspiration, ideas, or simply a creative escape, I’m so happy you’ve stopped by.

Today I’m sharing another page from my “All About Me” album — and this one is a little special.

This photograph is of Joe and I on our wedding day. I’ll be creating another page to sit behind this one, where I’ll share more of the details and memories from our wedding day. For now, this page marks the beginning of the next section of my album — Life’s Milestones.

I love how scrapbooking gives us the opportunity to tell the story gradually, rather than trying to fit everything onto one page.

Creating the Page

The Whispering Woods Designer Series Paper (Sneak Peek- available 1 September) was the starting point for this layout. The beautiful strips of colour immediately caught my eye because they pick up the blues and greens in the mosaic glass window behind Joe and me in the photograph.

The colours were quite bright, so I softened the overall look by adding Pool Party and Lost Lagoon Two-Tone Cardstock, which coordinates beautifully with the Designer Series Paper and the photo.

To add a little more texture and interest to the Pool Party cardstock, I stamped one of the foliage images from Delicate Whispers Bundle in selected areas, using the stamping-off technique to keep the imagery soft and subtle. I also added a few splatters of Gold Water-Based Pigment Paint for a touch of shimmer.

For the delicate floral elements around the photograph, I used the Delicate Whispers Bundle to create foliage clusters in two corners.

I wanted these elements to complement the photograph rather than overpower it, so I very lightly coloured the foliage using Blending Brushes with Pool Party and Lost Lagoon Ink, the flowers coloured with Stampin’ Blends.

The Delicate Whispers Bundle was originally part of the March Online Exclusives and has now moved into the Last Chance Products. If it’s on your wish list, now is definitely the time to grab it while it’s still available.

The sentiment is from the now-retired Simply Beautiful Stamp Set. I stamped it in Lost Lagoon Ink to continue the soft colour palette throughout the page.

Telling My Story, One Page at a Time

This page is a lovely reminder of why I started my All About Me album in the first place.

It isn’t just about creating pretty scrapbook pages — it’s about recording the people, places, memories and milestones that have made me who I am.

And there are certainly plenty more stories to come!
