Here is the way that I have done the layout:-
Photos
1 = 8.5 cm x 7.5 cm
2 = 9.5 cm x 14.5 cm
3 = 10 cm x 7.5 cm
Matt
1 = 9 cm x 8 cm
2 = 10 cm x 15 cm
3 = 10.5 cm x 8 cm
Blocks/Shapes
1 = 3.5 cm x 7 cm
2 = 8.5 cm 7.5 cm
3 = 8.5 cm x 7.5 cm
4 = 6 cm x 8 cm
5 = 10 cm x 7.5 cm
6 = 9.5 cm x 14.5 cm
7 = 6cm x 7 cm
8 = 8.5 cm x 7.5 cm
I have used Colorbok - Flavia - Peaches and Pomegranates Punch Out Pack. All title letters are from this pack.
I used Tim Holtz - Spiced Marmalade and Pine Needles
A compass, double sided tape and a black pen.
8 brads/eyelets (I only used 7 in the end).
I picked out 3 photos that I wanted to use. Re-sized them and printed them out!
As I was looking through the punch out pack of the sheets of paper looked like it had the texture of a netball, but it was a winey colour, so I used Spiced Marmalade and some cut 'n' dry foam to ink the whole of the 12"x12" paper. It looked okay (phew!!!!!).
I then picked out a contrasting colour for the blocks of paper.
Then a plain paper for matting the photos.
Next I cut all the blocks and photo matts. Then I used a corner punch to round the corners of the photos, blocks and matts. The edges are inked with Pine Needles.
Once that was done I planned out my page by placing all the pieces down on the backing page (netball one), I drew a rough sketch on scrap paper and numbered each block 1-8. I took the pieces back off and put the corresponding number on the back of them. I inked around the edges of the backing page, and laid the pieces back down, the edges that I inked looked really messy.
I suddenly thought d'oh!!!!!! use a round shape cause of the netball theme.. I used a compass to get the big circle, and inked with Pine Needles up to the pencil line. Put the pieces back down and it looked OK.
When I was happy with the page, I put double-sided tape on the back of every piece. I put the brads into the blocks. In the punch out pack there is 4 pages of alphabet's I decided to use these as the were already rounded: I inked them up with Spiced Marmalade to get them to blend in with the page. I also coloured in the actual letters with a black pen, as I didn't think the letters stood out enough. I stuck them down on the blocks that I wanted to use.
I then stuck down the bottom layer (using my numbered rough sketch), then the middle and then the top.
I added journaling onto some of the blocks as they were very plain.
Voila!!! Page completed. If you can't follow my instructions, please leave a post here or on the forum, or e-mail me. I will only be too happy to help. Good luck and I can't wait to see the finished pages.

wow Helena, I hadn't realised so much hard work had gone into this page when I first saw it, I had presumed the paper you had used was already that colour - love the inking techniques, I have never used that foam stuff before - will have to give it a whirl, brilliant page, will try and get mine done this week sometime xxx
