Avonlea Blog Hop

Welcome to the Roxybonds Scrappers Team Blog Hop!  

  We are featuring artwork from the Avonlea paper pack and the Scholastic Paper Pack.
I have chosen to use the Avonlea Work Shop on The Go.

  If you have come here from Catherine's blog , then you are on the right path.  Your next stop will be Stephanie'sblog.

  Today I have created a two page layout using the Additional Layout option available in the Avonlea Workshop on The Go.

Here is my finished layout:

One of the things I like best about the Close To My Heart, Workshops on the Go is that they take the guess work out of creating a layout.  I never created 12x12 layouts until I started using the WOTG's.  I go back to the WOTG guides over and over again as I look through pictures and the guides and then the paper and mix and match but I use them again and again.  Even this one, I put my own touch on it not following everything exactly.  That's why it is so much fun to use these.  They are a GUIDE - not a rule.  Each person's individuality comes out in the finished product.

I used the Avonlea WOTG paper pack, CTMH chocolate, olive and bamboo inks.  Also, the canvas alphabet, velvelt parlour rub-ons and mocha opaques.
This is the inspiration layout:

You can see from my finished layout that it is similar, but not exactly the same.
I tend to have a very messy desk as I get started.

Expert --- no.  Passionate Enthusiast.  YES!!
