paper: Scrapbook starting points :: Hello from Hobart | pretty paper. true stories. {and scrapbooking classes with cupcakes.}

I have to say I surprised myself with this page. In my head, this starting point would have ended in one of three options:
…a large photo covering most of the top of the page with title, writing and embellishment all in the bottom border of the page.
…a group of small photos in the bottom right corner and extended writing across most of the page.
…two 4×6 photos facing the same way, close to the title in the bottom right.

Instead, there are three photos here – all started at 4×6 but only one is still that size now. One is cropped a little, the other a great deal. It just happened that when I flipped through these photos on the table I found they almost-but-not-quite lined up, and it seemed like it might work. I’m really not a big fan of mixing portrait and landscape images, so it’s something a little different for me. (I don’t have any real reason to dislike the mix – some scrappers make them look fabulous, but they just tend to give me headaches when I’m trying to balance elements!)

So now I’m extra curious as to how you’ll complete this week’s starting point! If you create a page, please share your link on this post so we can see!

It’s always tough to choose my favourites, so this week I could only bring it down to nine! I love reading the blog posts too – I love that starting points are useful and I grin to see scrappers using their leftover papers. Thank you to all of you who join in each week. I love this little corner of the internet and all the pretty-paper-pasting we do. (I think I just sighed audibly, thinking about it, actually!) So here are nine of my favourite scrapbook pages from this starting point – do click the corresponding link to see the page in more detail and discover the scrapbooker who created it.
Top row, L to R: one, two, three.
Middle row, L to R: four, five, six.
Bottom row, L to R: seven, eight and nine.
