I love to look at blogs and even online scrapbook magazines, but there is just something about the feel of paper in my hands. Since I can't seem to stop buying them, at least I can start using them more. :) I pulled out my recent issue of Sccrapbooks ect. and found a great layout on page 16. I don't generally do a lot of circles, but this seemed to be a great time to start. Here is my version:
It was fun mixing up the patterened paper. Usually I over think it. This time I just started cutting. I love it!
My sweet girl pulled out one of my card magazine to see about making a card. She like to copy them EXACTLY and needs a bit of help with the cutting. Then she adds her own flair to it..."just one more thing, mamma, then it will be perfect!".
Here is her take on a card she loved. I enjoy watching her process and her new facination with texture on a card.
Off to make some more layouts and cards...hopefully with my girl!

Lovely fun summer LO - I like it when I use circles, I just put it off because my circle cutter is rubbish (or maybe it's just how I use it!)
Have fun - it's a lovely card and it looks like she's got the right idea: start with a grain of inspiration and then take it somewhere of her own!
Love your page too. I've never subscribed to magazines and stopped buying a while back, but still have a stack of old ones (2002!) that still manage to inspire me.
Great layout and that card is perfect! I stopped subscribing to scrap magazines, because after a quick perusal when they arrived, they then seem to collect dust. Seeing examples online has been a bigger help to me.
It's fun to look at magazines, I agree! Your page is so fun and summery! The card is so sweet!
I only have CK these days and I'm a bit disappointed with that too - online inspires me more but I know what you mean about wanting them when you see them on the shelf! Great double layout here - the circles are a lot of fun
Great layout-I get TONS of inspiration from my "real" magazines, too! LOVE,LOVE LOVE the airplane card! I love how you gave the airplane some dimension!
