Hi folks, Mandy here...
I've posted before about how I like to put my own crochet embellies on my scrapbook layouts. Here are some of my recent pages, made originally for the Scrap Factor Competition over on UKScrappers. This is my fave LO at the moment and has a layered flower and some 'flowery' trim to highlight the blossom in the photos...
Here's a close up...
The LO below has a yellow crochet circle embellie (supposed to look a bit like the mouse's wheel) and some yellow trim...
There's scalloped trim on the LO below and a flower (Free pattern here on my blog)...
Close ups...
I experimented with some crochet over wire and used it on the LO below (there's also a flower with a free pattern here)...
This has a similar (experimental) crochet over wire embellie...
On this LO I used the large crochet doily that I posted about here (free pattern)... and some crochet over metal washers (white trim)...
I wrote a post a while ago with free printable pdf files of word art to make circle scallop embellies... well I used one of them on this LO below. The word art says 'create' and the embellie has a crochet circle layered on it too...
Finally, the LO below has a double layer flower...
UKScrappers is a fab scrapbooking site, filled with inspiring LOs and informative forums & is a place to just indulge the love of scrapping! The Scrap Factor competition is in week 7 now and the contestants are providing lush LOs to vote for. Hope I've inspired some folks to add more crochet to their LOs... it really is a lot of fun :)
Bye,
Mandy McK.
