I didn't make the Chatterbox Design Team so I can share my layouts now! My instructions were to create a layout using just the Artsy.liscious Alabaster range and another "free" project using anything from the box of goodies they sent me.

I used this beautiful photo of Tassy's BFF Bella for my Alabaster layout. I've always loved this photo and always wanted to do an all-white layout featuring this photo. So when I got my Alabaster assignment I immediately thought of this photo. Let me tell you, for someone who loves working with lots of colour it was hard doing an all-white layout! But I was happy with it. I like the texture... For my other layout I used a recent photo of Catherine and I. We've been friends since I was 6 and she was 9. We are so lucky to have both moved so far from where we grew up, and still ended up living only 10 minutes from each other. I might still add some journalling...
My baby sister Charlotte is coming down for the weekend. Scrapping, baking, music and movies are on the agenda. I can't wait!!!

Not quite organised for my RAK yet. Hopefully that will be in my next post!

Hi Yvette!

Gorgeous photo of you and Catherine (say hi to her for me next time you see her).

I hope you have a nice weekend with Charlotte.

Take care. KH

The white layout is superb. Absolutely stunning. I agree, I'm so used to using heaps of colour, I would have had no end of difficulty trying to use only white and I'm sure the end result would have been nowhere near as beautiful as yours!
