Oct 2013 ScrapSimple newsletter layout

Great tips in your article this morning! I especially like the tip to not feel like you have to re-color everything, you are right the marker looks perfect "as is"!

Love this "thought board" idea, it is like your own Pinterest page! All your plans along with pics to show the idea... It really is very effective! The height of the ribbon and the pen over the paper is just enough to show realism. I also love the little dried out sprig of flower tucked in behind the paper clip, cute touch!!! Wonderful way to showcase this club and as always, your recolouring looks like it was always that colour :-)

I love this Diane and I really enjoyed your tutorial! As someone who proclaims to be "allergic to SS" you are slowly reforming me and actually making me (almost) liking recoloring! Seriously, I really like how you recolored the wood and cork to look so real and did it so easily. I also really like how you put your page together to look like a corkboard holding your garden plans. So pretty and I especially like the purple hues you used to go with your flowers. Great page and thanks!

Loved your tutorial and LOVE your layout!!
